Saves Won't Load - Just Restarts Missions Instead


Dead Rat

Recommended Posts

This may be a known problem, but I didn't find it in a scan through previous topics.


Suddenly when I install old missions and try to load Saves, it just goes to "Press Attack to Start" and restarts the mission instead, on every Save. Apparently I can do new Saves but not load any of the existing ones.


Anyone know how to rectify this? I've tried downloading updates, restarting the computer etc.

I suppose I was just confusing TDM with Thief fan missions, in which my saves have seemed to survive various upgrades over many years.

 

What upgrades? Thief, Thief 2 and Thief 3 were all abandoned years ago, whereas TDM is under active development. Are you referring to the various community fixes for T1/T2, such as DDFix, or the recent unofficial patch based on the leaked source code that modernised the engine? I suppose these things didn't change save game loading because they were mostly focussed on the rendering, not mission loading.

 

It does seem that the behaviour in TDM could potentially be made more obvious from a user perspective, however. Perhaps an in-game GUI or message could indicate that the save game is incompatible and warn the user that they will have to restart, rather than just restarting with no explanation?

Issue 4531 is waiting for someone brave enough :D

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
