Tenderfoot Thahd Ziddy Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 It just started happening today; I tried restarting, but to no avail. I have 1.0.1, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenderfoot Thahd Ziddy Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 Since I'm on Windoze, 1.0.1 is the latest version. Reinstalling the patch doesn't seem to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Archmagus Micael Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Several Questions: What Windows do you have? Did you install anything that day? Did you have a major crash before this happened? Can you still load your files and stuff? - Archmagi Micael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still seems to save, but it crashes immediately afterward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Archmagus Micael Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Well, If you download stuff daily and so on, it's probably one of them which messed it up. But you're lucky. On Win XP, you can restore previous system drivers settings and stuff. The system restores it automatically every time you install something, or change the registry. You can just restore... (I would advise restoring on the Day that you know it worked last.) (before restoring manually make a backup of your current settings with the restore wizard, so if it doesn't work, you can just come straight back to where you were) Hope this helps you, but I've got to get some sleep now, so I can't help anymore today. - Archmagi Micael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Before doing anything as drastic as Windows registry modifications, I'd suggest milder solutions: 0. Backup your savefiles. 1. Try deleting save directories (Save0, Save1, Save2, etc.) in your Geneforge > Data folder. After deleting them, recreate them manually. 2. Try reinstalling the game. (Back up your registration if the game is already registered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Yeah, er, I'd make sure that all the proper directories are even there. For example, if a program was programmed to save a file in temp\save and there is no such directory, it's going to cause an error. But if you reinstalled the game and it still doesn't work, you may have ... I don't know ... some kind of virus or a missing system file? Any error messages, or does it just crash?
