Saves Not Working
« on: July 31, 2011, 12:52:35 pm »

So, I recently signed up for two different succession games. Once my turn rolled around, I downloaded the save, extracted it, and placed it in my save folder.
My game refused to recognize the existence of the save.
I tried re-extracting and re-downloading both saves. No luck. The new save folders are right alongside my personal ones, so they are in the proper place. My own saves work perfectly for other people, as I have my own succession game running right now. I am using the latest version of Dwarf Fortress (.25).
Someone might have been using a tileset, and I hear that requires raw edits. Would that create this problem, and if so, how would I find out if that was the cause? I would greatly appreciate some help here.

Did you make sure the save folder was the save folder and not a folder holding the save folder?

I.E
Save
   ---- Region 1
           ----- Save stuff

and not
Save
   ----- Region 1
          ------- Region 1
                -------- Save stuff.

Yes, both folders have all the save files in there properly.
