Save game
« on: June 22, 2006, 09:54:29 am »
Guys,  everytime I've played the new beta, savegame won't work.  The game immediately crashes as soon as I try to save.  Is there something I can do to fix this?  Also, is research implemented in the new version & can we recruit more scientists?  I like those groovy wee guys!

There's a new beta coming out soon, if all goes well. It'll likely work better in that one. Stay tuned.

I've successfully compiled an SVN version under Linux yesterday and tried to save a game, it didn't work.

I get a

Couldn't write file.

in the console when i run it at some point, i would guess it is when i try to save the game.

Tried updating the svn version today, but now i can't compile it anymore, guess i'll have to wait and see what happens ^^

This may be one of the reported bugs... Try making the following directories:
  ~/.ufoai/base/save/
and see if it works now.

we need to know which version you use? if it is the windows installer for 2.0RC2 there is currently no trivial fix for this - but this is already fixed in the current codebase (at least it should be fixed - report back, please).

there are two possible solutions for this:
first: http://ufo.myexp.de/wiki/index.php/Dev-CPP
second: just wait for the next release candidate - it is on its way - just a few more days

nevertheless i suggest you the first option.

best regards
