Error saving game in 2.0-RC5

[[S|G]]

I had just finished researching kerr blade and the production of 30 assault rifle clips. Also, I had just arrived from a mission (the one in the mines) if that is relevant. Then I was going to save the game and got this:

Code: [Select]


==== ShutdownGame ====
CL_GameResultsCmd
Campaign 'slot0' saved.
Research of "rs_weapon_kerrblade" finished.
SDL audio device shut down.

This is really useful info that will hopefully help us fix: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1568183&group_id=157793&atid=805242

This bug doesnt seem to happen in 2.1 dev or SVN trunk though which is interesting.

I decided to load the game at a previous state and try to reproduce what happened: I arrived from the mission at base and saved. Then research was finished and I saved again. Production completed and.... saved.

I went back to the first save. I arrived from mission and didn't save this time. Research completed... production completed. Then I saved and... error.

I guess it only happens when you have a lot of variables to be saved.

Or it is related to saving/restoring research dependencies. Thanks for the leads (I'm going to switch to the "2.0" version to track this bug down soon).

I am playing on a Windows 2000 machine 1.7Ghz, 256Mb ram. Card is Geoforce2. I am playing rc5, on very easy. I am an experienced xcom  1&2 player, and I want to see everything.

I have played 22 singleplayer missions bug free, and am tootling along seeing and researching lots of stuff. Nice work!

I have a pattern of saving after each mission, and using the naming convention bx, where x is the sequential number of the mission. So when I finished mission 22 I saved, and the game crashed and left a dialouge box "SZ_GetSpace: overflow without alloverflow set".

I have this error box saved as a jpg. This error is persistant, and happens each time I play the mission and then save. It also occurs when I save straight after loading.

When I loaded back to b14, that loaded fine.

I hope this information is of value. I am looking through the forums, and looking for ways to help I really hope this project goes all the way, I love the game and like how everything looks so far

Hallo,

bin neu hier und möchte mal in deutsch antworten.

Ich denke mal, dass ich eine vorübergehende Lösung für das Save-Game-Prob habe:

Nachdem ihr gespeichert habt (z.B. Slot1, Name X) und wieder angefangen habt den alten Spielstand (X) zu spielen, dann öffnet mit der Windows-Logo-Taste den Desktop, geht in den save-Ordner und löscht den gespeicherten Spielstand (Slot1) einfach. Dann wieder ins Spiel und ihr könnt wieder abspeichern. Muss halt jedesmal wiederholt werden, aber man kann wenigstens speichern.
