windows version not working after I installed the game on linux #185

Closed DinkyDyeAussie closed 2 years ago

DinkyDyeAussie commented 3 years ago

I installed both through steam, one windows 10 and the other on linux mint 20.1

I can play it without issue on mint, but now my windows 10 install doesn't load saved games. I haven't tried start a new game, so probably should try that first, but just wanted to check whether or not cross-platform installs through steam conflict with each other?

Steam does it with my other games for some reason.

Andrettin commented 3 years ago

What do you mean by not loading saved games, does it crash?

Steam just deploys the game's files and starts its executable, so as long as it does those things correctly it shouldn't have an influence.

DinkyDyeAussie commented 3 years ago

The game starts on both no worries, but crashes on windows 10 when I try to load a saved game. No error message, but I will check the folder for a crash report when I get home.

I tried to verify the files on my windows version but it took too long so I cancelled it. But will try again to start a new game after work.

It sounds like a bug in Wyrmsun. What does your stderr.txt file on the game's folder say?

Sorry, that's a bit messy.

Andrettin commented 3 years ago

Was it an old save?

DinkyDyeAussie commented 3 years ago

Yeah. I literally tried a new game instead and it's working fine. There must've been a few changes in the code.

Andrettin commented 3 years ago

Looking at the error output, that seems to be it, yes. The old save is not compatible with the current version.

DinkyDyeAussie commented 3 years ago

Thanks mate. If it was a waste of time I apologize. Just took me by surprise.

Andrettin commented 3 years ago

It's no problem at all :)
