Oolite Bulletins

I have kept the dodgy file, if somebody wants to play with it sometime, I can pass it on. Be warned the only way I've found to correct it's effects is complete re-installation..

Have finally found the issue; Windows 8 froze part way through doing a file save, this caused a corruption in the file. Although the file still existed it nulled the contents entirely. The freeze issue with windows 8 relates to the drivers on the graphics card, I have re-installed and this seems (to...

Out of my depth here (I'm still on XP Pro)... could giving Oolite a new path for its save-files work/help in any way? Tried that, this is a weird one, when you do this you can't change the file path using the CTRL RTN option to any folder that contains my old file.. ie I changed the file save path ...

I know the save file is the culprit, and I have tried taking ownership, but that doesn't cure the problem. The point is, if it can happen once it can happen again, so until I find a cure playing the game will be a bit pointless. Especially since it seems to affect the folder as well, not just the on...

Ok.. well done for spotting that one.. that does seem to indicate it's security-related, if not exactly a VS thing. From what I've read, while it's possible to mess with UAC settings etc, the most direct way around this may be to "Take Ownership" of the folder. What this does is directly ...

But there is a file relating to the save file in appdata\roaming

The virtualstore is empty..

This is more and more confusing; A clean installation works 100% ok including saves and loads. However I have made a copy of my (Competent) save file, when I add this file to the directory C:\oolite\oolite.app\oolite-saves\ the whole directory disappears from the load save files directory, I am unab...

Happened again, I already changed the file association as I had the same thought.

Well I'll be a thargoids Uncle, doing the un-install and reload worked.. Now that I can see the save screen again, the whole folder had disappeared not just the files, that has to be an issue with windows 8...

Thanks for trying, I will have to stay competent. I may try moving the file doing a complete un-install and then a reload, it may be related to windows somehow.

Had no reason to edit them at all, one day it worked one day it didn't. PLUS if I start the game and make up a random name and save the game, that file disappears but I can see it in the correct directory.. I am totally confused..
