Won't save, "file size mismatch"
« on: December 14, 2009, 11:29:26 pm »
Well I use my mac book pro with leopard and whenever I try and save the game it says " Error saving game.  Size mistmatch- failed to save the game"

Don't know why. looks like it's version 2.2.1. i386

Just a guess: Do you have (enough) free space on the disk?

When I used a Mac 20 years ago, I noticed it couldn't detect or handle bad sectors. One common practice was to put a file on the bad sector and never move or delete it. I have no idea if the Mac has changed much in 20 years, so maybe it's a bad sector?

Well, I'll post this message anyways. If nothing else it can be laughed at or bring back fond memories, or something...

Size mismatch is usually an installer issue.  Is it trying to save to a non-existent directory?  An if you try to reinstall you will need to go to the library and make sure everything is cleaned out.

" Error saving game.  Size mistmatch- failed to save the game"  is the only message it gives. The game works fine and everything until i try to save.

there is no such error message reported from the game. either post the "exact" error message and attach the ufoconsole.log or i can't really be of any help for you

http://yfrog.com/08picture1zgp (that's a screen shot of the message)
i don't know how to "attach the ufoconsole.log or i would. I'm not very good with computers.

let me just clarify.
when I download this it'll open the my harddrive, and the game is in the other "drive", so I just copy and paste all the game files(there's only four-five) into another folder of my desire (because that's what I've been doing) or do I need to do something different.

sorry - but without the ufoconsole.log the error message doesn't tell me enough. you should maybe try one of the beta installers lurking around for mac and tell me whether the issue is fixed there.

Can you give me a hint as to how to find ufoconsole.log i can't find it on my computer. The only "beta" related things I could find were for Windows, which is no help to me because I'm using a Mac. Do I need to do compiling and all that junk when i first install.
What gets me is that it works, it just won't save.

you dont think I've looked at that? It hasn't provided me with any answers. Maybe something has gone wrong in the beginning, is there anything special i neeed to do after downloading the game?

...
this shits blowin my mind.
