Well, first of all hellow everybody. I'm a pretty old players of Warzone 2100, having reached the final alpha mission back when I was a kid, lost the CDs at some point and only just rediscovered the game here!
Thought I'd play the campaign, and this time complete it, only to have run into a few bugs.
First of all, I had gotten stuck on Alpha 2 (the mission which ends with discovering the power plant upgrade) because the mission didn't end even after I had researched the upgrade and killed every enemy on the map (when it didn't work the first time I restarted the game and carefully combed the map, leaving no enemy alive).
I ended up cheating to pass that level...
Next bug, I realised I could build the relay during the first mission against the New Paradigm (the away mission in which you meet them. Hmm, I didn't remember our side was such assholes that when someone tells us not to cross on their borders we invade and destroy their bases... Always thought we were the good guys!) leading me to research the Commander units
This leads to my next bug. I cannot design a Commander unit. Whenever I try, it doesn't get saved. I can make any unit, modify any unit, but if I put the commander turret, it will not be saved. Well, that's annoying, but whatever, I'll make do without.
An hour later I wiped out their forces from MY map (take that peaceful coexistence!), I had to build a base on the plateau, while their transports would occasionally drop extra xp for my troops.
Nothing to report there, until the mission ends. I get the mission accomplished screen, press continue and then... then.......
....
well, then nothing. Game freezes. I restart, reload my save and... it freezes again?....
I restart again, load another save (one that was back in the second mission), and that one freezes again!!!
I copy my saves, delete the Warzone folder in my documents, launch warzone, place my saves back, Saves work again. However, attempting to finish the plateau defence results in the game freezing again and all saves freezing as well.
Hopefully this is a detailled enough summary posted in the right place, otherwise, please let me know, I'd really like to finish this game at least one...
