eqspeef Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 ...so I got Empire at War for Christmas. I've played it almost all the way through on the Empire's side (I think). (I'm at the point in the game where they first give you the Emperor as a hero.) I spent a crazy number of hours getting to this point- and now I can't save the game. If I start a new game, it saves fine, but if I load an old game and try to save it, it hangs for 5-10 minutes, and then comes up and says that it can't save and that I should check the disk space. (The C: drive, which is where the save files on, and the drive with the game, both have over 50 gigs free.) Is there any way to fix a save file so that it works (and can be saved)? One thing I've noticed is that my old save files are all 12-15 megs, but the most recent few are 67 megs, 0, and 0 (so I guess it wiped out the slots for my last 2 attempts, ugh). I guess I just have to start over- but is there a fix for this? I don't feel like doing all that again to see the last 20% of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eqspeef Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Update: I've been trying to continue to play, and it turns out that any time you take land control of Azterri, you are then unable to save from that point forward. (Any attempt to save results in increasingly-large save files and an eventual refusal to save the game at all.) If you leave it uncontrolled, the game doesn't seem to break, so maybe you just can't attack Azterri. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eqspeef Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Actually, disregard that; it dies if you attack Tattooine too. I'd have thought that a game that was out so long would not have many huge, game-breaking bugs in it. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Did you update the game? I remember problems regarding this memory leak. It was solved by a patch I imagine. There you go... http://www.empireatwar.net/gameinfo/patchnotes/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eqspeef Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yeah, I've never played the game with anything other than 1.05 (as I said, I got the game for Christmas, and it asks to patch as soon as you launch it for the first time). I did manually download the 1.05 patch and try to install it, but it says that EAW is already up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eqspeef Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 I made it through to the end- I found that by just making tons of units and always using auto-resolve, I was able to play through to the end without saving. Boring, and you miss all the fun bits, but at least you can finish the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
