SOTW 0.8.24.18 - Second Act Beta!

[jack1974]

Yes was that, now I tried to start a new game myself and should be all OK

[yayswords]

Okay I played briefly under the new version, then when I noticed it was acting up, I went back to the old (24.6). I did however save inbetween. Right, so when I kill the second lizardmen pack in the tunnels, there's no arrow to proceed (24.6). And under 24.7a this happens whenever I try to load the map:

Spoiler:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I might be alone with having this problem though - I can load an older save (that was never tainted by 24.7) and proceed to the tunnels and they work (or at least no immediate error msg). I only lose a pretty damn good casino outcome

[jack1974]

Yes, if you saved in the broken 24.7 sadly that save is lost (I have same issue here). Sorry

[yayswords]

This save has been untainted by the bugged 24.7. I've had no error messages. But the arrow to proceed after the second lizard pack isn't appearing. I managed to get around this in 24.6 (by redoing the fight simply) so it's probably not urgent.

[jack1974]

The problem is that the map code is updated only when you change location - so even in this version if you have a save BEFORE entering it should work fine. I loaded before entering the sewers and was able to finish it normally.

[yayswords]

This save was from before entering. It was from before even receiving the invitation. The process was: Load a 24.6 save in Dingirra market district under 24.7a, go to the arena, bla bla tunnels and now no arrow

Also, I have this idea that sometimes I can fix problems by loading random saves to clear the game's memory or whatever. This happened loading the "bear save" - the one I sent you with the level up bugs. Certainly never been touched by the bugged 24.7:

Yes I have some saves too that don't load - I think they were before the map speedup change. Some works, other not, hard to tell why. I think in general if I do a big structural change like the new map system (or by mistake I put the renpy beta code ) then old saves can break. Apart that it should work, since as you see I did whole act1 and act2 and could keep the saves. The map speed change though was a big one

[jack1974]

By the way what is the arrow that doesn't show up ? those shouldn't be linked to any specific variable except the progress variable, so is really weird that you don't have it!

[yayswords]

This arrow. Also, when that happens, my portrait doesn't move on the map. It looks like this when I beat that pack.

(The first screenshot is from derping a pack down on easy difficulty and not getting the bug)

[jack1974]

Really strange, if you have the saves with those behavior I want to look the variables
