problems with saving

[meewty]

Hello! I'm newbe here. Thank you for the game.
I can't save the game. I click on the button to save, then on one of the windows and nothing is happening. What should I do?
Answering in English is better, but German is OK.
Thanks. With love from Russia.

Have you tried to doubleclick on one of the windows?

[meewty]

Yes. Still no progress

My guess is, that you chose the wrong menu. One is for saving and one ins for loading. They basically look the same. You have to use the one with the arrow pointing to the disk.

I know. I used the one which is said "Save game". There are 6 windows, they are dark grey. When I point on one of them, it becomes light grey.
This is a screenshot.

It could be that the problem lies in your windows version. Being russian you probably use a russian language windows, that would mean that the path the game tries to save to could contain cyrillic characters. It is possible that the game cannot handle those characters.

Please type %APPDATA% in an windows explorer window, press enter und tell me what path is shown in the address bar.

Yes, this is the problem. Thanks. I opened the log file:

Code: Select all

PERSISTENCESERVICE: ERROR - An error occured while create savegame file "C:\Documents and Settings\Пользователь.234-5HURTFCV0KB\Application Data\Broken Sword 2.5\saves\0.b25s".
PERSISTENCESERVICE: ERROR - Unable to write header data to savegame file "C:\Documents and Settings\Пользователь.234-5HURTFCV0KB\Application Data\Broken Sword 2.5\saves\0.b25s".

But how can I fix it? Change the name of computer?

The cyrillic characters should be the problem. I guess you could fix this problem by adding a new user to windows and giving him a name without cyrillic characters. This way the path the the savefile should be free of any cyrillic characters.

Thanks. I'll try it right now
