Can't load a coop savegame

Post by Kroah »

Hi !!

I can't play a game i saved in coop :(
Everything works great until the game map appear.
The game freeze, i have the ToS mouse, but nothing is clickable, there's no music, ... when the game was saved, that was my turn. When the game is loaded, this is my turn, but frozen.
When the server is closed with a "terminate program", there's a message on my screen: "Connection Lost..."

What i have done to load the game:
-Launch a first Tos (server)
-create game

-Launch a second ToS (my client)
-join game with my IP

-My friend launch ToS on his computer
-join my game with my IP

-I click accept
-i choose my save game
-As soon as i click, the game beginned
-the map appaired on the 3 ToS
-everything frozen, no music on the 3 ToS
-i close the server -> all clients got a "connection lost"

-i tried with only 2 ToS (1 ToS client/server[my computer] and 1 ToS client[my friend])
-my friend tried to load hi save game
-but it give the same result -> game frozen

any idea ? Is it a bug ?

A network game can only be restored if the configuration is the same as it was during the save and you haven't run two instances of TOS on the same computer from the same folder. Otherwise your client instance will overwrite your server save game. Solution if you MUST run two instances is to do a second install on the same computer in a different folder to avoid overwrites.
