Luthien Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I just had that problem with quicksaving in Tears of St. Lucia. Not only it crashed the game and left a corrupt quicksave, ist also seems to have corrupted some mission related file. Now, when I start the mission again, even after deinstalling and installing the mission, it crashes right at the beginning (when you press the attack button to start). P.S.: 2.01 on windoze xp Edited March 8, 2014 by Luthien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayer Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 maybe it's a problem with playing tdm on xp? I also use xp and saves get corrupted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STiFU Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hi Mayer and Luthien, and welcome to the forums. What a shame that you have so much trouble with TDM. There seems to be a leak in TDM that causes occasional crashes when saving. We are investigating it for the next release. However, it should not occur that often. In the mean time you can use a small script that alters between quicksave slots so that there's always at least one valid save left. I described the script here. I just had that problem with quicksaving in Tears of St. Lucia. Not only it crashed the game and left a corrupt quicksave, ist also seems to have corrupted some mission related file. Now, when I start the mission again, even after deinstalling and installing the mission, it crashes right at the beginning (when you press the attack button to start). P.S.: 2.01 on windoze xpThat is VERY unusual. Try to the following. Deinstall St Lucia, go to your darkmod/fms directory and delete the saintlucia folder, redownload it through ingame mission downloader. But it's basically impossible for anything to happen to the fm archive, so I am pretty sure this will not work. But that's the only thing I could think of. Or maybe relauch the updater to check file integrity of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthien Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hm, now the mission works again after reinstallation. Maybe the system was just unstable and needed a reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nudnk Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 No more quick saves for me. I was pretty far into Wm.Steele In the North (which is awesome BTW) and just got the Bad Cache offset error. A lot of progress gone there. I had previously received the error playing Gatehouse and thought it was that particular mission. Live and learn.

RJFerret Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Live and learn. Simply install the quicksave script, then you can simply hit F9 for a previous save.

Mr Mike Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm also getting corrupt saves and crashes whilst saving (not sure if its just quick saving). I'm using a reasonably fresh TDM install and Windows XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanders Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I changed the topic to 'corrupt (quick)saves' because it's not only about quicksaves but regular saves too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
