lek Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Athlon XP T'Bred 2400+512MB un-registered non-ECCMonitor - Dell P991 1024*768 @ 120Hz but running at 85HzGraphics - Radeon 9700 using Cat. 3.8'sSound - Built in nForce 2 SoundStormMobo - A7N8X Deluxe using 2.45 nForce drivers + 1007 BIOS Windows 2003 Enterprise ServerUFO: Afterman English version 1.1a installed fine (patch applied BEFORE ANY saves were made) Last time I played UFO:A everything was fine, saving games/loading games no problem. So...I quit the game and save before doing so. Now when I come back today, I find that trying to open my save game results in the following error: assert_fatalfile: C:\ufo_src\ASL\kvfs.cpp line:116 "Profiles/Default/Saves/start.vfs": bad CRC So, complete nightmare. Unlikely I'm gonna be able to carry on with my save game due to it being corrupt. Start all over again I guess..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Ouch! That sucks! Don't know if there is anything you can do to correct it... But you should check your HD with Scandisk. It may have bad sectors....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lek Posted October 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 The thought did cross my mind, but it gets checked regularly and I havn't had any problems with it recently with anything else. Also the save appeared to work fine whereas I thought it may have hung the system/crashed the game (or an error at least) if it had had trouble saving. Will do a physical scan now to see.

Pete Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Assert fatal sounds vguely familiar... My brother and I got one bug at exactly the same time on two different machines with two different versions of Aftermath... Happened twice in a row when trying to load a game I think and thn it just behaved itself... Weird. Sounds like yours could be a tricker problem though. Have you tried simply clicking the PLAY button when you load up the game for the first time? This loads it up from the game's latest autosave when you quit I think, so don't hold me to that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lek Posted October 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Well, no bad sectors. Will try just clickin' the play button. fingers crossed. [EDIT] nope, "play" just tried to load the same save, oh well 8( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Got any antivirus software running? That seems to be the latest problem interfering with saves and even complete installations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lek Posted October 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Yup, running in the background + up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 What I meant was that antivirus programs seem to be affecting games during saving. Try making sure you're disconnected from the 'net (and thus mostly safe from viruses) and playing the game with your antivirus and all other programs switched off... If it still happens in the future, then out goes that theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lek Posted October 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 I'll give it a go, although I can't say any other games I play have been affected before. I'm getting really messed up sound now as well, and just had a very strange crash and reboot. I've got a feeling that it's since I installed the Catalyst 3.8's (some people are reporting quite bad problems with them), I think the new VPU recover function in those drivers may be getting in the way of things based upon the crash I had.
