[40d11] Lost Game, No Message
« on: May 22, 2009, 01:25:08 am »

So, I had this beautiful fortress called Ringedattic. And it was going along fine (okay, so it had a few problems...), and my admirers were asking to see my map.

I exported the map and then saved, so I'd have enough CPU to compress the files. After saving, it took me back to the main menu as normal, but my game and world were gone... it was just as though I was starting over. And I was greatly saddened, and wept and mourned my lost fortress.

My diagnosis:

I play from USB stick (2GB), so that I can take my fortress with me wherever I go. I realized, after long lamenting of my loss, that the disk was full... but there had been no message warning me of the impending disaster.

It seems like there should be some error and abort of the save before the game data are cleared. The corrupted/incomplete save directory is hosted at http://olad.db48x.net/df/save.zip, if it helps.
