Well, it's probably a bit late now for pre-testing the update, but we'd like to know about any issues when running TDM 2.01 on Linux.

LOL...never got asked to test it. Now 2.0.1 is out and that stinking Quicksave/Quickload bug is back. Too bad about not getting a chance to test it.

I was running 2.0.1beta previous to tonight and wasn't having that issue. But maybe I didn't do enough quicksave/loads during that time to notice it.

I also noticed that going under water drops the framerate dramatically. Was in the interior tunnel in siegeshop and entered the river. It went from 60-80fps to about 12-15fps as soon as I was underwater. I would have noticed that before and so would have lowenz.

Yeah, apologies about that, I was busy sorting out some of the server stuff, so I didn't check the General section of the forums until after the release. Regarding the Quicksave/Quickload, are you referring to these issues:

http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=3649

http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=3632

 

If so, we're still working on it.

Also, we'd like to know if the performance issue is general or if it is just affecting you

Neither of those. TDM doesn't crash.

The first time I choose quicksave, I get the normal 'game saved' message with the appropriate barely-noticeable pause during that save. Some time later, after another quicksave, I choose to quickload and there is no response...like I never pressed the button.

I check the console and have:

Warning: idSaveGame::WriteObject -WriteObject FindIndex failed

Warning: Couldn't open savegame file savegames/Quicksave.save

 

I can still play the game, but quicksave/load no longer functions.

Could you please run TDM with '+set fs_debug 1', try the quicksave/quickload and then go to the console and type "path" (at least I think it's that). Then 'condump' the log and put it on pastie.org for me? Thanks.

Actually, it seems like 2.01 runs smoother than previous versions! Did you guys do anything to speed up the game, or is it all in my head?

      Dammit there are too many missions available now. That's what I get for being away for so long. Such a first-world problem.

      The best thing about not mapping more than like every other year is the awesome feeling to see how far TDM has gotten in all appartments. I can just create some parallaxing cobblestones and walk to and fro and just let the jaw drop

      Hey, was trying to use the TDM_Update.exe file, but when I do it doesn't do anything! It just goes back to 2.12. I'm trying to run Luitenant 4, but it won't update, so I can't play it. What am I doing wrong?

      Been away for quite a long time, didn't have much free time sadly, but the little that I had I was able to play a Romhack for Ocarina of Time called "Sands of Time".
      It's great, fun, rather hard but too but I like it (except when it's way too tedious, only some parts are, not all of them)
      Although the reason I'm sharing this is...Listen to the music, I've timestamped it to 27:56, it's titled "Memories Lost".
      Doesn't it sound so serene, so melodic...So Thief-like? It's fantastic, I love it, it reminded me of Thief and how much I want to get back to it, so hopefully this month or the next, I will have a lot of free time to play it.
      I can't wait to try that new big Thief campaign, The Black Parade, it seems to be promising.
      No spoilers please, but can someone tell me if it has horror elements? Or better yet, horror mission...Or even missionS?
