This must be Windows 7 64 bit problem, because i have never ever played one buggy game as this one, and i played and finished about 50 - 70 games in total.

And when i say the most buggy, it is more buggy that Painkiller Resurection!

I have played all night, over 12 hours this mission:



Every time now i load the game it crashes at this point. I have finally managed to gain ground after doing many possible tactics, and after all night playing. But it seems all will be wasted becaue of this crash? What are my options? Could game-save files be taken and pasted into another computer? Like Windows XP? Will they work?

Savegames don't work properly in NPatch AFAIK so you would be better off using mission selector, I don't recall now if this MO version had it for all maps or not.

Hello Artas,

NPatch is rather unstable when it comes to save-games, which is why we will no longer use it for the next version. You can access all missions using the mission selector.

Could you describe in as much detail as possible what you were doing or what was happening when the crash occured?

I am glad ithe NPATCH won't be used. I was not doing anything specific to cause error, i can't tell when this error ocours, but i now rememeber having it in Windows XP too when i first played the original Mental Omega long time ago.

Anyway in what folder are game-save files located? Perhaps the NPTACH makes some duplicates of those?

Saved games are always in the RA2 folder and have .sav as their extension.

I can save and load with NPatch. Ares completely destroys the save/load function (how the hell did they do that?).

By adding lots of new content and not updating save/load to work with it yet?

NPSE save/load will never be as stable as Ares' in the future.
