First, I really, really love this game!

But, I have a snag that is hitting me at turn 181 in the Week in Binh Long scenario. I get an error code that reads:

2025-06-09 13:51:46 vnengine.exe: [ERROR ID 1000] (appl.cpp, line 3154, ApplWindow:OldBattle0) Saves\Binh Long.btl file data error, at or before line 14126

I then reveals all enemy formations, as if the game seems over.

What is this and how can I fix it?

Oh no! That's not good.

May you post your save file and your logs files, please?

Here is the save file:

Here are the logs:

Thank you so much!

Quick question:

Which version of the game did you start the scenario under? (or how long have you been playing it?)

downloaded it recently, maybe about a month ago.

version 2.00.01

OK, thank you for letting me know.

Nothing should have changed, I will take a look at the files tonight.

Positive vibes

THANK YOU for your support! I'm glad you're enjoying it!!

Hmm, that's weird. I was looking at the BTL file and it just cuts off at 14126
There should be a bunch of stuff after that.

Do you have your OLDER and OLDEST files as well?

Here is another log file called engine. Hope this helps.

Got the older and oldest saved files here:

I won't be able to do this until I get home.

But try to name your btl file with _archive at the end

And then

rename the _older file a just the normal game file name.

In essence, renaming the normal game file with a new name and then replacing it with one of the older files.

mygamefile.btl to mygamefile_archive.btl

mygamefile_older to mygamefile.btl (or if that doesn't work, try the _oldest)

You might lose a turn, but I recall this happening once to me during my playthrough.

Let me know if that had any success, I'm going to assume it is a memory issue.

After I had started saving often, I don't recall it happening again.

I gave that a go and it worked through the turn. In the next turn, same error came about again.

Ah firetruck.

OK, I'll see what I can do.

Try this file.

It should be the start of Turn 182.

Thank you for taking the time to look into the matter, but I get the same results. Still love this game, but looking at other scenarios now.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that

I don't understand why that's happening for you.
