If you are having Save Game Problems w/1.1.1

Thank you Nicholas. That seemed to fix my save game issue.

 

Still doesn't load, I gave you a link in the private converssation some minutes ago.

 

No workee here on the save game fix. No expansion either. I like to give you guys my money on day one so steamupandtakemymoney.gif??

 

Worked! Thank you very much for fixing this so quickly! I feel kinda bad for being one of the people to bring it up, when you must all be so busy.

 

Awesome! It worked for me on my furthest along character!

 

The link you posted, the .exe, worked for me. The game would just CTD otherwise.

I was initially a bit worried as it's size was a good deal smaller (899kb versus the broke version's 2052kb), so I saved a copy of of the latter, but looks like it boots fine.

 

All my saves got wiped.

I have backup saves, but with the new save system, I see no way to use them.

It was my own stupidity; I was so excited about the new expansion that I loaded the game with Steam... and Steam does as Steam always does and wiped my saves folder clean.

I'm too disheartened to play now... and I was so very excited moments ago. That'll teach me let my excitement get the better of me with regards to Steam. But is there any chance to prevent this if I do let my excitement get the better of me in the future? Some way to prevent Steam from erasing everything, again?

 

Will do that, thanks.

And, I know. It's just... I've never beaten Dredmor. I've never gotten really close. And I was on floor 14 kicking Diggle like I'd never kicked Diggle before...so it's still disheartening. I don't mind dying (I've done it PLENTY, and I only play Permadeath), but when I lose my characters this way? I just want to rage and cry and sit in a corner staring at a wall for a while.

 

nice idea, i will go back to my saved games later, i was almost beaten Dredmor too but i mainly interested in check the new changes

 

Doublechecked the old exe's size, verified it's 2052KB.
. . .and now, the one I copied in (from the link above) is also 2052KB.

 

Hm.
Whenever I start a new 1.1.1 game and save and quit, the saves do not appear in the load game menu, even after unzipping the hotfix into the DoD folder as instructed.

Edit: Oh. Disabling the one mod I had on seemed to do the trick.
Now I just have to figure out how to not have my mod do that.

 

All my old saves don't work: I just pop back to main menu. Had Compleat mod, unsubscribed, then used .exe above, but the saves still don't work. New games load fine, though.

In the Dredmor save folder, the old games are all .sav files, whereas the new (functioning) saves are file folders with .bmp and .dat files inside. Is something amiss, there?

 

One thing that is very noticable now that saving saves entire mods... it's a lot slower, and autosave is getting very annoying.

 

How about a patch for Linux?
