Skirmish Save Game Problems

Axelent · #1 July 16th, 2007, 05:04 AM

Hi all,

after playing and enyoing this little Game, i purchased the download Version(V 1.20).
Now i experiment with the differnt Maps an Classes in the Game.
I have a strange problem and need help.

When i begin a new game skirmish Game versus the AI it runs complete correct till someone wins.

The next case:

I start a new skirmish map vs the AI and save the game.
(No error displayed)
When i load this game some strange things happen.
(without error message)

First case is:
I couldn't do anything with my units.
I just can click the end turn button.
The AI works(i'm not sure about that point).

Second case:
I couldn't do anything. Even the end turn Button is disabled. I have to quit the game with ctrl+alt+delete

Third case:
My turn works correct but the AI disappeared out of the game, i could challenge myself.

Is this a new unknown bug?
Is there something wrong with me?
Is there any help?

I couldn't say something about the campaign, i just tried out skirmish.

(I finished all demo Levels without any problems and without saving.)

Greetings Axelent

P.S.: Sorry for my bad english

Hi Axelent,

This is the first I've heard of this problem.

I'll take a look at it and follow up soon.

Thanks.

Hi Axelent,

I was able to reproduce the issue. It appears to be somehow related to your region settings, which I assumed to be set to Germany.

I will make a note of this, and it will be addressed in the next patch if there is one, but in the meantime I have a work-around that should work:

- Click Start-->Settings-->Control Panel
- Select "Regional and Language Options"
- Change the drop-down to read: "English (United States)", then click the "Apply" button.
- Now, if you run Land of Legends (or any other program), it will load using English localization settings. Loading and saving should work fine using these settings.
- Once you are done playing Land of Legends, you should repeat the above steps, changing your region and language settings back to their original value. (presumably "German (Germany)")

I understand this is an inconvenience, and I do apologize for that. We strive to make the most stable and bug-free game possible, but this is the first time this issue has been brought to our attention. Hopefully this work-around will at least allow you to save your games if that's important to you, even if it is an inconvience.

If that work-around doesn't work for you, please let me know and I'll try to figure something else out.

Thanks for your patience and understanding, and thanks for playing Land of Legends!

Hi Hiro_Antagonist,

I tested yesterday to make sure the first case.
I couldn't do anything but click the end turn button.
Then the AI get's the money and that's all what happens.
There was no sign "AI thinking" in the upper left corner.
I have to quit with strg+alt+del

Thanks for thinking about my problem.

Greetings Axelent

Hi Hiro_Antagonist,

thanks for the very quick solving of my problem.
I'll test it when i get back home.
And if it works,i can enjoy LoL.
I need the save Game because of my 8 Month young boy.
I never know when he needs me. And then i have to stop playing LoL immediately.

Thanks for the help and thanks for the great game,

Axelent

Hey Axelent -- a little more good news.

I noticed that after I tested that work-around listed above, XP added a language button to my task bar, allowing me to click it, then either 'EN' or 'DE' to switch, making this very easy!

Hopefully XP gives you that option too, which should make the work around even easier.

Thanks!
