[crawl] Problems with latest patch

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.misc (More info?)

I recently installed the latest patch from Darshan (+imps, etc.). Savefiles
no longer seem to work properly. In my crawl folder there is a list of
files for foo.sa, foo.kil, foo.st, foo.tc, plus the various level files
(foo.01a, etc. ). When I try to reload a saved game, Crawl just crashes to
the desktop. There is some brief error message, but it scrolls to quickly
for me to catch it. I tried changing the name of foo.sa to foo.sav, as per
the older save file nomenclature, but that didn't help.

Playing in XP with all the latest service packs and patches, fwiw.

All assistance appreciated.

Hmm, I don't see this behaviour with the same binary on XP SP2. Are
you perchance using an existing save game? Does starting a new game
and saving save correctly?

Try starting Crawl as

crawl 2>out.txt

and check out.txt afterwards. It might say something of use.

If you could mail me the save files (zipped), I'll take a closer look
at the problem.
