Quasar Posted February 5, 2014 Did you upgrade Eternity since you originally saved? If so you will have to start over. Saves aren't upwardly version compatible. Eventually there will be detection of this and the save will be loaded in a "compatibility mode" (most likely meaning you start at the beginning of the map you were on, fresh, similar to other id Tech engines w/patch upgrades). 0 Share this post Link to post
Salt-Man Z Posted February 7, 2014 Nope. Bifrost was the first time I tried out Eternity. If there's been an update since, I didn't download it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted February 7, 2014 Would you be able to upload the offending .dsg file? 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted February 8, 2014 Or, failing that, did you change the location of EE relative to your Master Levels wads? The path of the file you were playing is stored inside the save and the file is reloaded using that path. Problem being there used to be a check afterward to see that the file was really loaded and it's currently disabled due to being incompatible with the new savegame code that was written in cpp-branch. So it's sailing right through in the event the file wasn't found. 0 Share this post Link to post
Salt-Man Z Posted February 11, 2014 Quasar said:Or, failing that, did you change the location of EE relative to your Master Levels wads?Yep, that's precisely what I did. I thought that might have been the problem, but my Vaporware Demo save (created prior to my Master Files save, or so I thought) still worked, so I had ruled that out. I can certainly move EE back to its original location (one subfolder down) and see if that fixes the problem. Mind you, this isn't a huge issue or anything. I've only got the two save files, and I'm done with one of them. If moving EE back temporarily gets my Master Files save working, that'll work until I beat that level, then I'll just re-locate EE again and be good to go. Thanks for your help! 0 Share this post Link to post
Salt-Man Z Posted February 12, 2014 So I moved EE one subfolder deeper (well, copied it actually) and now my Master Levels save loads just fine. Thanks again! 0 Share this post Link to post

Just out of curiosity is your Master Levels path relative? (ie. something like "./masterlv" or just even "masterlv") I need to get the "missing PWADs" check re-implemented in the new save game code so this crash doesn't happen >_> 0 Share this post Link to post

If you change it to an absolute path that problem won't happen again, but still, this *is* something I need to fix ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
