Hi there,
I think I just ran into the same error as the original poster, but under different circumstances.
I downloaded OXC yesterday (OpenXcom Version: 1.0 git 2023-04-01 03:34, says the log file)
Everything worked fine, starting a new campaign and so on. Thanks to everyone for putting in all the effort, great job
Now I wanted to load my
old save games into OXC.
I followed most of the instruction in that install tutorial video.
- I copied all my 10 old save games into the OpenXcom-xcom1 folder.
I start OXC, click load game and see my OXC save games from my new campagin. Fine so far.
I click original X-Com on the bottom of the screen, and see my 10 old save games, including correct file names and everything.
This is where it get a littly shady.
Here's the thing: apparently, I
cannot open old saves games that have an ingame date of 2000 or later.
If I try to open an old save game where the ingame date is
post-2000 (e.g. May 2000), the game crashes leading to the exact same error message as in the original post here.
If I try to open an old save game where the ingame date is
pre-2000 (e.g. May 1999), everything works just fine.
Here is something that I consider interesting: If I start my original X-Com via Steam, I can, of course load a save game from post-2000 (e.g., the one that I could
not start in OXC).
When I now save the game and
overwrite a pre-2000 save slot (e.g. the one from above, May 1999 that was already demonstrated to work fine in OXC) - then this very save (which is now
post-2000 will also lead to the exact same error message (Segmentation fault).
This means, I can only load old save games when the ingame time is max. 1999.
I cannot load saves with ingame date greater than 1999.
That's at least my conclusion
Anything I can do here? Thanks for helping me out, if possible!
Attached are:
* GAME_1.zip - the save game I would like to, but
cannot load in OXC (ingame date post-2000)
* GAME_9.zip - the save game I
can load in OXC, but have next to no interest in (ingame date pre-2000)
* the log file from the most recent attempt to launch GAME_1, which resulted in a fail
