Title: Can't load saved skirmish-games
Post by: lancerus on November 24, 2012, 02:34:23 PM
hi together!

like said in the title, I can't load any saved skirmish-games.
when I load a game, the "tov"- loading-screen appears, then loading stops and I get to the game-main-menu (of the mod) as if nothing has happend. :(
this happens when I try to load a game out of a runnig game, as well as when I try tp load from the create-game-menu.

game and mods are up to date, loading skirmish-maps without the mod does work.

does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

thanks in advance!  :)

 They're different versions, maybe?

was my first idea, too, but even completly new savegames (created after patch 1.7.0.2) can't be loaded.

I have another hint: the maps that can't be loaded are sga-maps (those you have to copy into your personal data directory to use).
I think sgb-maps (those copyed in the game directory) work. do this information help?

it would be great to get the sga maps to work, cause I have a huge collection of them.

Savegames from self-added maps have never worked. And this applies for any mod not only us ;).

Unless the file is registered on the module file, CoH won't allow to load games for them correctly, regardless if they are sga or sgb.

ahh, okay, thanks for this info!

I am completly new to the cod-mods and fan-maps. :)
by the way, EF is very good, thanks for your work!

(I guess, there is no workarround to get the loading-funktion to work? well, then I'll have to finish every game in one session. :D)
