Hexen crash

Wronschien

I'm new here so hello !

Well, I'm using Doomsday 1.9.0 beta 9.6 and Hexen crashes on the second hub, when returning to shadow wood after activating a puzzle switch in wastelands or darkmere. In fact it is a windows stop, not doomsday that stops itself.

Apparently this bug is related to bug 3175797 which is solved, so I've installed the latest development build (241).
After cheating my way to reach this point in the game, it seems to work now but not with my saved games.

Now please, Is there a way to "fix" my saves or do I have to play the beginning through again ? I'd prefer not to use cheats to go on if possible…

Thanks in advance !

(Oh and my OS is Win XP SP3)

Builds produced from the automated build system are presently based on an earlier branch of Doomsday. As such the fix for that issue hasn't yet been incorporated into these builds.

Although an issue is marked as "fixed" in the tracker it does not necessarily mean it has been incorporated into a release version. Typically the way it works is that an issue is marked fixed when we address the problem but the issue is left open until a release is made that incorporates that fix.

Oh Ok thanks for the explanation, I'll get the newt release as soon as it comes out anyway.
Will my saved games work with this one then ?

DaniJ

Without knowing which version the saves were created in I can't say. There has been a few issues with save games during the beta release process which can result in the save files being "corrupted", particularly with Hexen. Such files cannot be recovered unfortunately. Consequently my advice is to continue playing with the version of Doomsday you used to create them until you are ready to start over with a more recent version.

My saves were made with beta 6.9.

But I'll take your advice and wait for the release as I can't go on now because of this bug. And if the save doesn't work I'll start over then.

Thank you.
