For a VERY long time now, I've been experiencing this issue, from 2.2.4 to the current beta release, but it seems that usually, after several hours of gameplay on skirmish, when I go back to load the save game, the game will crash to the desktop each time I try to load it, potentially costing me much gameplay time lost. I've made a ticket about this, the number being #1133, but I've hardly gotten any help with it. Simply, with the save games becoming corrupted like this, it almost hardly seems worth playing this game. It's a great game and all, but if I can't keep my saves, what's the point? Also, the fact that this has been a persistant problem through so many versions is also bothersome as well. . .
If I could get help with this ASAP, I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: Savegame Corruption Issue
Could you paste the crashdump somewhere? and/or a full savegame? Compress the entire savegame directory, just the .gam files is not enough to debug with.

Run in from a terminal, and use --debug all --debugfile whatevername.txt
then savegame.
Then attach whatevername.txt into your ticket.
Thanks!
and it ends here.

Re: Savegame Corruption Issue
As I've already stated in the ticket, I don't know how to get the crashdumps on a mac, but I have uploaded a zip file with a full save game file.Zarel wrote:Could you paste the crashdump somewhere? and/or a full savegame?

And as for opening the game from terminal, I've never even used terminal so I don't know how to open the game from it.Buginator wrote:Get the latest beta for the Mac, 2.3 beta 10.
