Issues

#1 Post by ghealy »

Running version:FreeOrion_2016-03-29.fb14c08_Test_Win32 downloaded yesterday. OS is Win10 64bit

Could have sworn I posted this earlier but don't see it so here it is (again?)

Can not save a game. The Save Game opens and supplies a suggestion file name. But when you click on OK it does nothing, I can delete a previous game, but not save the current game.

The Auto save works okay (Have it set to save after each turn) so i was able to open my game saved from the previous night and complete it.

Not just me then, OK, something's up.

I am able to save over an existing file, fortunately I had a "turn 1 test" save in the folder so I didn't need to faff about, others might need to move an autosave or manually create a savegame as a workaround.

Anyone got a clue?

Caught it earlier but things kept distracting me https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/pull/579 ....oh...shiny!

Edit: as a note, I believe saving to an existing file still worked ok. So until someone is able to review and it is deemed an acceptable fix, you can try that.

I also cannot save games with build 2016-03-29.fb14c08 for Windows.

I've also had this problem once maybe twice at random times many months ago.

A fix is in that seems to have solved the problem for me, so it'll be in the next Test (or you can recompile if you do that yourself), until then saving over existing files works, simply creating a textfile with a .sav suffix in a text editor is doable if you don't like deleting old games, etc.
