J P Wagner Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 When I try loading a saved game for my mod, I receive the following message: Could not find directory Saved game will be loaded without customization. The game loads but without any of the custom bitmaps though they were present when I started a new game. I checked the save folder and found the save file there, but what is missing? Seems odd that the game loads ok but does not save correctly. Where did I screw up? <a href="http://img161.imageshack.us/my.php?image=image002ob2.jpg" target="_blank"> /> [ January 25, 2008, 08:28 AM: Message edited by: J P Wagner ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 There is a small quirk with the Editor where if you changed the name of the campaign and campaign subfolder manually via My Computer etc., you simply need to open the campaign in the Editor again and resave it and it should work fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P Wagner Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'm afraid that did not work as the same pop up appears and the game loads without any of my custom bitmaps, scripts ect. I have not been renaming the subfolder, the only thing I have been doing is transferring and replacing the campaign file, and .cgn file between my home and work pc. Would working on the game between my two pc's and always replacing the existing files cause issues? Hubert...is it possible that the save file is somehow being generated in two separate folders? I ask because of the following: When I save a game I get this screen. All my saves and the most recent (highlighted) are present) But then when closing the game and starting up the game again, when I want to load a game, I get a blank screen. Why aren't my saves being shown? Even the one I saved moments ago is not there.

Hubert Cater Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi JP, if this is Vista there is a strange setting for games installed in the Program Files directory that may be causing this issue. See this link: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/VistasShowCompatibilityFilesAndTheScrumptiousWonderThatIsFileVirtualization.aspx If this is the case, you can try reinstalling the game into another directory, i.e. 'C:\Games\Strategic Command 2' or something similar as it should resolve the issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J P Wagner Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hubert: I was able to solve the save issue without the need to reinstall. I opened the game and exported all the data then started a new game and imported it all back in. For some reason I forgot to do this step with the new patch so it was my screw up.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
