Recommended Posts

This thread is an attempt to see if there any common elements among those who are suffering gamesave crashes. Please also post if you are NOT having these crashes.

 


  1.  
  2. Are you having fairly often crashes associated with gamesaves?
  3. Do these crashes happen at the time of save or load or both?
  4. Do they happen with quicksaves, namesaves, or both?
  5. Do they occur in all FMs, some, just one, which?
  6. Do they get worse/better as the game progresses?
  7. If worse, did you previously gameload, possibly after an earlier crash?
  8. Is there mostly an alert at the time?
  9. Are you visible to the AI at the time of the alert?
  10. Do you KO: always, often, occasionally, rarely, never?
  11. Do you kill: always, often, occasionally, rarely, never?
  12. Do you use water arrows: always, often, occasionally, rarely, never?
  13. Is your system a low, medium, or high end PC?
  14. Processor: (only state roughly Ghz and how many cores)
  15. RAM: in GB
  16. Video card, including RAM
  17. EAX on or off?

 

Anything else anyone can think of?

I've played a only a few FM's so far.

Saving and loading worked for the training mission, Trapped!, Too late, Thieves, The Chalice of Kings and Outpost.

I never save the game while the AI is looking for me. Typically I save when it is peaceful and I reach a new room.

 

The only map I've experienced constant savegame crashes is The Alchemist, so there must be something in that map.. Maybe because it starts with AI's on the lookout?

@Fidcal: the bug is related to the spiked ball entities and restarting the mission. It has been resolved in SVN already.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
