is there a list of things that need to be fixed before 3.1 is out of beta? was looking to up vote bugs but I can't seem to do this on that trac thing
I'm not sure if there is a list, but I assume it's whenever any features they want are completed, and all major bugs are fixed.
This is why some features aren't implemented: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7490&view=unread#p87241

Everything I tried so far worked. Ideally you can give us a working savegame and instructions on what to do to break the game (e.g. "load this savegame, research Tank Traps, save → broken").

Works for me. Also, crash dumps could be useful.

Are you using new maps and mods they maybe causing issues also you might have vid drivers problems as the new beta need a slight update of opengl I believe

Whoa, it has been a while since I had some free time to check out. And really, the new overall appeareance, and that ETA on construction, the new resource system, and other stuff made me drool!

I'll keep checking out, and testing.

Awesome work, devs!

Hi,

Have still same probs with loading saved game from skirmish.
Sometimes it loads sometimes crashes-

BUT when loaded next fault comes up.

Truck Factory No 1 and 5 have changed there numbers.

And also when truck factory is producing more than 1 kind of tank, after loading only 1 kind is building - all others are still there - but not building.

But worst for me is that about 80% of saved skirmish games cannot be loaded again.

Thx for really nice doing, have a great we

There is a difference between not believing and not being able to reproduce a problem. And you can believe me, that is frustrating for us as well, because we would actually like to fix those issues. I tried to follow Asgorath's instructions, and got a bunch of savegames... that all load. :dash1:

Very mysterious :ninja:
I was somehow able to produce a working and a non-working savegame of the same skirmish-game. Maybe you can reproduce a broken savegame now?

I made another experiment.

I started a skirmish-match on Sk-SandCastles-T1, choosing only 1 Nexus AI on medium difficulty as opponent. Sadly it´s not possible to start a game without any opponents.

After the game has started I did nothing except for saving all 30 seconds.

30 - 60 - 90... up to 600.

After that I closed Warzone and started it again.

Then I tried loading one savegame after another.

30 - works

60 - works

90 - works

120 - works

150 - broken

Why is 150 broken??

180 and 210 are broken as well.

To make sure nothing within the game broke, I restarted my computer. Then I tried loading 270, skipping 240.

Guess what? 270 is broken as well...

Please see http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/3200 for savegames and logs and http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/3200#comment:19 for all information.


Somehow we have to figure out what causes the savegame trouble.

If I can help in any way, please let me know and instruct me what to do and what to pay attention at.

Would it look nicer if you just made the border around the power bar pulse red when more resources are needed?

Also, I'm not sure "Need more resources!" is much help - experienced players know what to do already, and noobs aren't going to know how to get more resources.
Yes, I'm replying to an old post, but perhaps we could put that old "Power Low" quote that the computer can say (pcv343.ogg) to good use in a future patch? Despite the fact that the number used to indicate current power levels now grows in size to warn players of low power, I feel that it's not noticeable enough, especially during a heated match that requires a player's constant attention.

these versions have working save/load games. 2.3.6-2.3.9, 3.0 beta 1-beta 4. any of the 3.1 betas all have problems with save/load games. can't you guys just use the same stuff in 3.0 beta 4 for save/load games?
