TTDPatch wont load my game
Hey there,
I have a company, Ive been using it for years. Once I used TTDPatch to open this savegame, convert all railroads to magnetic roads, and replaced old trains. It ok, even the old tycoon can run it.
But now, I want to load this game with TTDPatch again, and it freezes when loading. I mean, I open it, the cursor goes "zzzzzz", the background music still being played, and it never returns. The game freezes. Im using the 2.5 version, under DOSbox. I attact the gamereplay...
I used a tool, a fixer, it said it didnt have error. Thanks in advance

Re: TTDPatch wont load my game
Could you please also provide a TTDPatch configuration?
Unfortunately, I don't actually have the ability build (and debug) DOS builds myself.
However, on windows (2.6 r2330mod) it also causes the game to lock up whilst loading, (takes around a minute or so to load for me).
Saving it with my configuration and then reloading makes it load as fast as expected.
[Edit] Also tried 2.5 b9, exactly the same behaviour as mentioned above.

Re: TTDPatch wont load my game
OpenTTD says it tries to read past the end of the file, so I think it's missing some bytes at the end. That Transport Tycoon Deluxe still loads it correctly might have to do with the fact that it's a TTDPatch chunk that it is silently ignoring whereas TTDPatch and OpenTTD try to make sense of the chunk.

Re: TTDPatch wont load my game
I'm not sure why it failed, I imagine its linked to what Rubidium said, implying it was somehow slightly corrupt.
Anyway, I've loaded and saved the game using TTDPatch 2.5b9, you should be able to open this file without trouble.
(I'm unsure if it'll open correctly in TTD, as I cannot test that, but I think it should be).
Out of curiosity, was this saved game used and then saved by TTD after the track conversions through TTDPatch?

Re: TTDPatch wont load my game
yepp, I used TTDpatch just to convert old railroads to monoral (with "tracks 1 0" cheat, I cant remember)
okay, this time TTDpatch does load it. But there are still a little error:
the left picture was screenshoted from normal Tycoon game, and the right is from TTDpatch. As you can see, there are monorails everywhere, while TTDpatch kept the old tracks too, expect 2 lines at the bottom right (I also noticed it when TTDpatch used to load my game)

Re: TTDPatch wont load my game
Oh, that's quite a simple one, in ttdpatch.cfg set "electrifiedrailway" to "off".
By default in TTDPatch electric trains are separated to only run on electric tracks (steam & diesel run on both standard and electrified), this means that maglev and monorail get merged to one rail type (customizable to show either monorail or maglev graphics).

Re: TTDPatch wont load my game
hey all,
I again tried to open that game (it was modified since then, hehe) and TTD still freezes. I sadly saw there's no another patch
