Matrix Games Forums

i have played time of wrath with no problems for a couple months

now when i try to load a game i get the message

"failed creating direct 3d device" and then the game wont load

thank you

Did you tried after restarting whole system?

yes
i restarted my computer and got the same error message

i was able to load a new game but not my saved game

Please send me this saved game (bleck[at]wastelands-interactive[dot]com)

here is the saved game that wouldnt load

Have you patched, mr Bond?

If so, try open misc.csv in the saved folder with notepad. You will see this:

4;9;1942;data\\gfx\\europe.png;2000;1511;data\\gfx\\europe2.png;2000;1511;1941 Barbarossa;61;361;Not a PBEM game;0;1.50000;22;6;1941
212;334

Change the red figures to 1.70000 instead. Should work. This is only if you have patched. Hope it solves the problem.

@ d007mog,
The save game you have attached is from 1.50 version of the game which is not compatible with 1.70.
I can suggest that you will start new game in patched version.

please see above
i never upgraded to 1.7
ive played 1.5 all along and suddenly the saved turn wont play

can i get an answer please

There was a bug in 1.5 causing wrong transporter ID was saved in some particular situation. It was fixed in patch 1.6. Here is your save fixed manually so you can continue playing, but there is possibility that such problem will repeat itself.
