I'm encountering a crash in the mission where Alex is going to fight the Maradan in some sort of sport event. Just as the battle starts the game crashes and I'm unable to continue.



Output from the error log:

Hmm that's weird since the line with the error, is just when saving the game!!

Are you able to save the game manually in the game?

Also I don't understand why happens only in that time. I mean, the game autosaves at start of each battle, so it should have crashed before. I don't understand why crashes only in that specific point... do you have a savegame before that crash happens so I can test here? Thanks

I've never had any problems saving before. I'll add the save from just before, it is the only mission remaining in the Side Mission screen.



Actually I would if I just knew where they are located. So, where can I find the save games?

The saves are in the installation folder, under game/saves/ subfolder. Thanks, indeed I tried some sidemissions and they worked fine, so I'm not sure why that happens!

There is no such folder on my computer, only have cache and plot.



*edit* What are the save games called? I'll search for them.

Strange, check this thread for more info: http://www.winterwolves.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2971

Ah, found it. Here it is. <link removed>



And weirdly I can't even save manual when I load that save but loading an earlier save allows me to bypass the problem.

Thanks got the file. Yes it's strange, but with the save I can send it to coder maybe so he can tell me more. I have no clue honestly what could be! Will let you know. At least you can finish the game since this is just a sidemission

I just loaded an earlier save, then the problem just vanished. I can now play this mission so it seems like the save got weird.

It's even more funny: I tried your save, and then I couldn't save IMMEDIATELY. Then I went forward in the main story, and was able to start a new mission and save normally! Will of course investigate it with coder but luckily it seems something really rare at least

It just returned, I got a random place where it crashed. Reloading another save game allowed me to get a bit further but it keeps on coming back now. It is making it hard to proceed, it has occured three times the last 5 minutes.

Check the version 1.0.1 I just uploaded, I think should fix the issue!

Yeah, just saw it You're fast, I'll get back to you.

Haha I'm a bit in panic-mode, since today was supposed to start spreading the word about the game, and didn't expect to have such a problem

With the fix the coder sent, I was able to load your save and could play the Alex mission immediately, without crash, so here's hoping it fixed the issue!

Still some sort of issue just at the start of a battle.:



*edit* It is loaded from a save from 1.0.0 if that matters.

Thanks, I don't think it matters if is a save from 1.0.0. I need to ask Ren'Py coder, since I'm using the latest build and this really seems an issue of Ren'Py. Can you send me some more saves that crash so I can do some tests? thanks again



(and now I wonder why nobody reported this before, considering a lot of people bought the game. Are they all playing in visual novel mode!? )

Don't know but maybe I have some sort of language/Windows version/User folder combination that makes it happen.



*edit* It is in the middle of a battle, after I win I can't save.



*edit 2* Turns out it is just sometimes I can't save, tried it again and this time it worked.

Thanks for the file.

Yes could be some particular combination. I can't believe nobody else had this issue before! Anyway, if there's someone who knows the load/save process well is Ren'Py coder, so I'll make sure to ask him today

I've played some of your other games, never any issue before. And I think I've save quite a lot of times, I got all the space I need on my hard drive.
