Curious Artila foreverpoe Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I have, at one point or another, downloaded the demos for A1 and A2, but I wound up deleting them because neither program would successfully save my games; it got really old having to start from the beginning every single time. I have not had this problem with A3, however. That one saves correctly. My computer stats: Mac G3; OS 9.2.2 I close all other applications before opening the games, so there shouldn't be a conflict there. Corrupt files, maybe? I really can't figure it out.

Well-Actually War Trall Archmagus Micael Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Have you tried re-downloading just to make sure it isn't a corrupted file somewhere? - Archmagus Micael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan La paix Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I remember you (or someone) talking about odd game-saving problems. What exactly happens when you attempt to save your game in A1 or 2? I never had problems like that with my system nine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - it does the same thing each time. Maybe I shouldn't have two Avernum games on my computer at the same time? It's only a 6 gig hd, but I have plenty of space.

The computer pauses for a second, making all the right saving-type sounds, and my scroll screen reads: "Game saved." But when I try to load the game after having closed the program down, absolutely nothing happens. I've even gone straight into the A2 folder, clicking on my saved game from there (which is just a blank doc icon, as opposed to the nifty dragon icon that represents my A3 game file). The A2 programs open when I do this, but again, my attempt to load the saved game gets no response, not even a menu from which to choose the correct file. It's all just weird. And very, very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila foreverpoe Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 SUCCESS!!!! After comparing the files in the A3 folder with those in the A2 folder, I noticed a difference. The A3 application program was titled: Avernum 3 v1.0. The A2 program - the one giving me problems - was titled: Avernum 2 2.0.app. On a hunch, I retitled the A2 file, deleting the ".app" part, and suddenly, VOILA! It *was* saving the game all along; it's just that I couldn't access it with the application program titled incorrectly for some odd reason. Such technical quirks can be very annoying. I'm just glad I found a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
