Legacy savegames

[ursus arctos]

I have a problem with Legacy 1.40. Savegames can't be loaded since legacy say's they are corrupted. I have not experienced this with any other port.

You can't load a savegame from a "foreign" port (i.e. vanilla savegames in legacy). That just doesnot work.

It's just Legacy being annoying (as usual). It automatically corrupts savegames on certain maps, and the latest version (1.41) crashes when you even try to save.

What? They released another sigsegv-package?

[The Ultimate DooMer]

Well, that was 1.41 RC1 - I've just downloaded 1.41 and it didn't crash on me when I saved. It also didn't corrupt it either (w00t!)

Thank you for your help. I will get 1.41 some day and try it out.

Keep in mind save games are also rarely compatible with different versions of the same source port. The code required to accomplish cross-version save compatibility would be large and ugly, so it is rarely implemented.

Eternity's save game format changes, sometimes significantly, between nearly every version.

Upgrade to 1.41

It pretty much should be ok no matter what now. Still some problems with a few things though.
