Like in the topic, Whenever I try to save I get error and exit to Desktop.

There are a few different errors in your log file. Does Doomsday have write access to C:\Users\piap\Documents\Doomsday Frontend\runtime\ ? Is this the first time you've played Heretic/Hexen?

widrox

It definitely has all wright access. Before that I had played Hexen on one of previous versions. I downloaded the newer version, deleted the old and installed the newest one. I will try to clean the files in user folder and see if it helps, since I tried to save in Heretic I think, and it worked, but I did not saved in previous versions of Doomsday any Heretic games so maybe its the user folder problem.

Yeah. Well, I tried and it is the same. Still have an error. I just cannot save. I wish I would not installed that version.

DaniJ

Saving the game is working fine for most people. We just need to determine what is exceptional about your specific set up that is leading to a crash.

The reason I asked about write access is because according to the log, Doomsday is failing to open your game/binding config files. If you've played Heretic previously then those configs would usually exist in your runtime directory.

When you say you deleted an old version. Do you happen to recall which version you had previously?

Vermil

I've personally just reproduced this issue in near the latest unstable 1.15 by repeatedly quick saving/loading while switching between Heretic and HeXen game modes, with Heretic ultimately producing the issue.

Dday simply hang's after the y/n conformation, though it doesn't appear to crash.

One thing I will say, that is long standing, is that Dday doesn't wipe the 'status' of the quick save between game mode changes. I.e if the user quick saves in Heretic and then switches to HeXen and quick saves, the user doesn't get asked to pick a new quicksave slot; Dday simply saves to the same quick save slot they selected in Heretic (though they still get an overwrite confirmation in the new game mode, if a save game already exists in that slot, otherwise the save is just made without any user prompt).

I'll see if I can replicate that...

Dday doesn't wipe the 'status' of the quick save between game mode changes.

There doesn't appear to be a report for this in the tracker.
Edit: Submitted as issue #1889 and fixed for 1.15

Vermil

Well, I was also deliberately activating HeXen ACS in the process, due to ACS saving bugs that existed in earlier 1.14 versions that were supposedly fixed by 1.14.5. Just in case it was one that slipped the net, so to speak.

There is also this issue with HeXen saving, that was reported as occurring in 1.14.5: http://tracker.skyjake.fi/issues/1846

The creator of the report states their issue sometimes occurs while quick saving.

While I personally produced my freeze in Heretic, HeXen seems to be a factor.

DaniJ

Issue #1846 is a load time, interpretation issue concerning the ACS game state. Saving the game should not be affected. As far as I know this is the only issue with save games still present post 1.14.5

The OP has not specified whether this is a quick saving issue, don't know where you got that from.

widrox

I cannot say if it was a quick save or normal save, but I think it probably would be quick save. I cannot say more since I wanted to play Hexen so I went to using gzdoom right now... The version I used before that was probably something from 2013 but I am not sure. I have switched games, but the problems were also when I just started the game and did not switch.
After clearing the config files and another installation I wanted to save and still had this error (or similar?). That was in Hexen.

I was referring to the tracker report I linked to, rather than the OP. My apologies.
