    In the case of my savegames you have to get winzip to unpack them.


    You can download it here: http://www.winzip.com/


    You unzip the files using the program (for example rightclick on the savegames and choose unpack to folder "" ) and then copy the savegame files into the AoD Folder; into the subfolder SaveGames

    So the title says it all, but I'll explain it with detailes.


    So, I was at the last level(Ekhard's Lab) and I was at the cage where I had to take the glass vessel. Since I drowned several times in the hot water, I loaded and loaded the save from the begining in the cage. I died for the third time and I quickly opened the main menu, selected Load Game and the game crashed! In an Application Error window it showed me this message:
    Build Aug 6 2003 11:12:23


    The Following Error has occured


    Generic Game Error


    ASSERTION: 'i < NUM_OPTIONS' at C:\projects\tomb raider\Game\frontend\menu.c(227)


    So I ran the game again and selected Load Game from the Start Menu, but again, the game crashed :(
    The only way I can load a save game is when I start a new game and die. I also can't make savegames from the menu, only with F5.
    Does anybody know a solution to this problem?


    Thanks in advance :comp

    Hello!


    I know it's been rather quiet in regards of AoD, but I started playing it again in order to get screenshots for WikiRaider. The problem is that I can't save the game. When I try to do so, it says that the game was saved, but when I try to load the game - there's nothing! 8|


    I've recently re-installed the game to my computer, patched it with the patches 42 and 52, and tried to use patched savegames. But the savegames don't appear to the Load Game menu either.


    Any ideas what to do?

    In Windows XP you should not have that particular problem since you are probably already an Administrator. ;-)


    I don't trust those kind of programmes that claim to do all the updates for you. I always download the patches from the servers and install them manually. This way I'm sure what version I play.


    I don't know what the problem might be, but you should check if the folder "C:\Program Files\Eidos Interactive\TRAOD\SaveGame" (or whatever it is called on your computer/language-settings) exists and is writeable. You might want to try and download a savegame http://tombraidergirl.com/tr6/savegames.php and put it in that folder and try to load that. Don't know, maybe then saving might start work, too... ?(

    I've got both the "multipatcher" and the patches individually. Don't know wthat was my logic when I downloaded them, but hey, I'm me! :D

    Let's see... Folder exists? Yep. :yepp Is writeable? Hmm... How do you know whether it's writeable or not? :shy:


    Now I've done the following: re-installed the game (full installation, of course, like I've done in the past), patched it with the two individual patches (v42 and v52, there are just two patches, right?) and downloaded one savegame from the link above, but when I go to the Load Game menu, there's nothing again. And saving the game still doesn't work. ;(


    I think it might be a good time to give up and let someone else take screens of AoD for the Wiki, since there doesn't seem to be a solution. :S

    Alright, I'll right click the folder, properties and see whether there's something that says "Writeable" or something of that sorts. :D

    Me neither. ?( But I might get a whole new computer (not because of AoD doesn't save the game! ;-) ) in the near future, so maybe that'd solve the problem. At least it might be worth trying, since my current computer is rather old and it has had numerous of problems in the course of these many years.
