CW2 Game save issues - making game unwinnable

[Cavemaniac]

Hey there.

I couldn't find a similar topic - I hope I'm not duplicating.

While playing eighttailedfox's ETF:7 Molten Creeper custom map (in the recently updated CW2 Version 0327) I saved a game and then found I was unable to complete the mission.

The issue was that the custom map allowed building units both up and down, but on reloading the save, building was not permitted in any direction.

I restarted CW2 and tried re-loading, but this time building was only permitted 'up'.

I tried to get you a screenshot, but of course the backspace screen capture doesn't show the control panels.

I still have the save file, but I couldn't figure out how to attach it.

Bit of a noob on the forums, I just play the games!

Hope someone can help...

A fix for this issue has already been implemented.  The patch will go up in just a bit (later today).  At that point, you will be able to load your saved game.

Sweet!

Hey Virgil - while I'm addressing you directly, thanks a whole bunch for totally taking over my life the last couple of years.

Did you have any idea of just how freaking addictive these games would be?!?

;)

Best $20 I've ever spent.

I was hoping they might be appealing to like minded folks.  Exactly how many like minded folks there would be came as a surprise!  Glad you enjoyed the games.

...and speaking of like minded folks...

Would it be considered poor etiquette to mention in your forums a British gaming software developer I've discovered?

I've been playing his games for around 10 years now and it's scary just how much you guys have in common - you both produce ridiculously compelling strategy games at a price so affordable it's difficult not to use the word 'cheap', and you both have a loyal/vocal fan base with really active forums.

But as far as I can see your worlds don't overlap, which is a shame as I'm sure your fan-base would get a kick out of his games, as would his out of yours!

Of course, you'd both be competing for the same punters money... But with wares so affordable, it's not much of a competition!

I mention this because it was a pure fluke that I discovered CW2 even existed at all - a chance comment by MadMag in one of his CW1 map discussions.

And I thought I'd do my bit to spread the word about independent developers.

That way we all win!

[Cavemaniac]

Awesome!

The patch fixed the problem.

[knucracker]

That's cool...   I'd be happy to hear about the other developer.  You might want to do it in the random group, though.

I've started a new thread in Random Discussion entitled:

Virgil's evil twin brother

I hope you find the information interesting.
