Fledgling Fyora Upper Flangerria Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 My computer froze while playing A5, fortunately, i had just saved. but when i got back into the game something must have gone wrong with the save file. I'm in the same spot i was when i saved, but the map is all dark (like i haven't explored anything). I get lots of script errors, like "no body declared" and "dialogue something something", basically getting errors for everything. I would have reverted to an autosave, but i didn't think of this until after extreme frustration set in and i started a new game (overwritting the autosave). Am i totally boned, or is there something i can do to fix the save file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Feo Takahari Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Just for future reference, this is a good example of why it's often best to keep more than one save file. (I myself use a second save file whenever I'm in a dungeon where I can't go back to the entrance--there are enough of these that if I do get out again and screw up later on, I don't have to backtrack too far.) As for your specific problem, I don't know enough about computers to answer it, but it might be worthwhile to ask what happened to freeze the game. This might be an undiscovered bug.

Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 It sounds exactly like the game can't seem to load the scripts for your save file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Upper Flangerria Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thanks feo, i'll remember to make multiple saves from now on. The reason it froze . . . well, my computer just does that from time to time, it's a hardware issue that i can't afford to fix right now. Iffy, what does that mean the scripts can't load? and can i do anything about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 First backup the save game file. Then you might try deleting the game folder and reinstalling from the compressed game file. It's possible that the crash corrupted the game and not completely ruined your save game.

Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Yeah, reinstalling the game should solve your problem. if the save file itself were corrupt, you wouldn't be able to open it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 You can open a corrupt file depending upon the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan La paix Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Just keep in mind that reinstalling can cure many bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
