I just upgraded form v1.17.102 to v1.17.105 and D1 savegames are working well. Thanks very much, maybe I'll finally play all the way through the original campaign after all these years!
I tried saving and loading in D2 and Vertigo just to see and they work fine also.Now of course I've found a couple of other problems. I'm not at home so I can't post a proper ticket to sourceforge but I thought I'd tell you about them anyway and in which campaign I encountered them. (I'll make tickets when I can)
-Descent 1: The reactors no longer fire at the player.
-Descent 2 Vertigo: Players are unkillable. Your shield can be reduced to 0 but after that you cannot die
-All modes: HUD text that should be red is now yellow (Guidebot messages, selected weapons in the minimalist HUD, etc.)
As always, thanks for all your efforts.
, at the end we tried to do a bit of coop in Descent 2: Vertigo and it had a problem that made it unplayable. Whenever one of us fired a weapon or flare, the other player got locked in place and macro messages flashed below the reticle. I tried many times to capture screenshots of the phenomenon but the messages do not appear on the screenshots so I can't show you what they look like. I have no clue what this is about but I thought you ought to know.
I just played through the first three levels of Descent 1 saving, loading, quitting, and reloading over and over and it worked every time. I even swapped back and forth between D1, D2, and Vertigo successfully. I don't know why it failed last night but I'll keep an eye out in case it comes back. So no bug ticket for now.
If the glitch happens again, I'll make sure you get a copy of the save.
