Hunting the big savegame bug progress

[redface]

I got the savegame CTD since playing the final missions of the resistance campaign and it hasn't gone ever since

I even bought GOTY to replace my original accumulated CWC+Resistance setup to see if the bug would go away

I have extended the size of my windows swap file (as suggested by BIS in another posting) to 1Gig min and 1.512 Mb max, cleaned up my savegames directory (under users\xx\Saved, it was about 600 Mb --> don't forget the editor makes savegames as well)

I play without ECP (it helps in some cases, especially with smaller missions)

what makes a mission too complex for reloading? eventhandlers? or is it just RAM or harddisk-freespace related?

Cannot load 'Users\coldfrites\Saved\missions&# 92;OFPEC\valley_breeze.noe\save.fps'. Error 'No entry' at
'gamestate/variables/Item422/data.value'

interestingly enough, I have no problem with reloading a savegame that is obtained by a savegame command in a radio trigger (which gives you the "updating retry status ..." notice) and that can be activated by using the retry function. I would therefore advise mission makers to add such a radio trigger until the prob is solved. Or you can add it yourself ...

Damn! why does BIS didn't tell a single word about this problem!?!?!?

Because, it gives them a hard time.

[void_false]

you mean they will never fix this bugg?

[bn880]

My guess would be OFP2 it will be fixed, not likely OFP1.X

[DayGlow]

bump. The game is useless if I can't save

You cannot play any missions or campaigns?

[void_false]

yes! we cant play 'cause we cant save! then comes autoseve and crashes the game!

Forgive me if I'm asking dumb questions.....

You can't even play an original mission such as Steal the car?
