i updated the game (delete folder + decompress new game) , and now the game starts me a forever pink screen that does nohing, when i click it a useless window pops up saying "vapor trails.exe does not respond (find online solution, close, wait, details)"
i restored my old version game and screwed up same way :( ... i wanna play, and i dont want to lose my progress ... i like this game :(
from 0.15.1 to 0.15.2 , win64 version
Hey, I couldn't replicate the issue. Maybe you have a corrupt save file, if you reinstalled the old version and that didn't work too.
Try deleting everything in this folder:
C:\Users\[you]\AppData\LocalLow\sevencrane\vapor trails\saves\
And relaunching the game. You can also check player.log and player-prev.log for more information.
update = it seems update corrupted my savegames and i lost all my progress :.....((((
when i move my savegames (*) the game starts from scratch, when i restore previous savegames "games" crash again (* guessed, cause i didn't know where they go and can't find info anywhere)
is there any way to repair or update savegames format? ... would be nice .. thanks
... by the way, i like your game pretty much, for me is like "flashback evolution"
Unfortunately due to the way I format my saves, you can't really open them up and modify them. Maybe at some point in the future I'll try to save them in plaintext, but there are still going to be binary files in there somewhere.
I'm glad you like what I've got so far, though. Thanks for sticking with it.
or at least, when you release a new version, make savegames backward compatible some way... please ... doesn't matter if binary or text (or maybe encoded, or zipped text?.... but that could lend to cheats and exploits also, idk)
now that i have a little better undestanding, i think maybe the new version game actually did try to update savegames but failed, resulted in a corrupted one, losing my progress :(
