Appreciated, game was cool even without the achievements ;) I am happy to see the game is still being worked on.

You guys have simply Astonishing (with a capital 'A') level of support. I'm recommending your games to all my friends. Linux support added to your older titles is greatly appreciated!

It's our pleasure :)

Well, the linux porting was a pain in the butt at times, but you get the idea ;)

I love you keith

Recently got this (and, by the way, great job) and discovered an error. From what little I could understand of the UnhandledErrors.txt, the game calls for an <filename unknown> instead of the savefile. The reference to Save and Quit implies Ironman mode. Don't have time to test in normal mode tonight. Another note which caught my eye is the file type for the saves is .save. Windows, from what I have seen, does not work well any file type longer than 3 characters.

Sorry about the inconvenience. If you can upload your error logs and (if possible) a save file where we can reproduce the problem to http://www.arcengames.com/mantisbt/ that would be a great help.

Windows doesn't mind the file extensions. At least, XP and onward don't :)

The page you sent me to refuses to accept the error report. Keep getting "APPLICATION ERROR #2800" after trying to summit the UnhandledErrors.txt file.

Hmm, that's cute of it. Pastebin, perhaps?

There.

Ok, the <filename unknown> thing isn't the save file it's looking for, that's just what the stack trace sees in the release build when trying to figure out what file a particular line of code came from, etc.

The actual error message is:

"
Sharing violation on path C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Bionic_Dues/RuntimeData/Save/Ironman_1.save
"

And there's another one for Ironman_2.save

Anyway, does anything else have those files open, like a text editor, another running instance of the game, etc?

Not unless Steam also was accessing those files. The error for Ironman_2 was generated on a new game where I got stuck behind a deployed turret.

Hmm, odd.

Basically what's happening is the game is trying to replace the save file and the OS is telling it "no". There's not a lot the game can do about that. I can check to see if it can handle the error more gracefully, though.

For 1.101:

* The ironman automatically-save-after-turn logic now avoids saving more often than every 3 real seconds to avoid sharing violations (apparently sometimes the OS doesn't like it writing to the same file twice really quickly).
** Also, if it gets a sharing violation anyway it will handle it more gracefully with an explanatory message rather than an unhandled error in the log.

Thanks :)

I'll try to get that one out next week; been both busy and sick lately so it's hard to say for sure.

Thanks.

Thanks.
