I was playing on experimental build 5900 today, then updated to 5917, the latest as of this post, and in-game, I changed dynamic NPC spawn from false to true. Saved and quit the game and now I can’t load it due to a game-stopping error about a vehicle fault entry (there’s one about a duplicate bionic ID as well, but that one seems skippable). The only mods I’m using are fairly light and included in the game: simple nutrition and no NPC needs. Chesthole soundpack and RetroDays 20px tileset.

It doesn’t make much sense and I’m not sure how the NPC spawn setting (allegedly not requiring a world reset) had anything to do with it. When I changed it, I did absolutely nothing on that “sitting” besides that. Tried tweaking the world settings to get the spawn option back to false, but it hasn’t helped.

Here’s the savegame in case someone can shed some light on the issue and hopefully restore its functionality:

PS: Well, can’t even create a new character. I get the drive fault error before that screen. Maybe it’s my installation that’s corrupted. Is the CDDA Launcher buggy?

EDIT: No, it’s the world that won’t load. Damn it. Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve been able to load games since this update but they’ve been crashing shortly thereafter. Haven’t been able to see the error because I can’t get out of full screen without closing the game entirely or sometimes doing a full reboot. Doesn’t matter if I’m using the launcher or the exe. The vehicle error might suggest it’s update 5916 causing the problem. For now I guess rollback to an earlier update.

Edit: My crash may have a different cause since I run through Wine but it did begin at the same time and was running well until the recent batch of updates. I started in windowed mode so I could look at the error message generated and got this:

`Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x0000000c in 32-bit code (0xf73ba2e6).

I tried rolling back to 5900 and it didn’t help. Let’s see if 5915 does the trick, but maybe the bug’s already ingrained in the savegame.

I shouldn’t update so liberally. 😕

EDIT: Nope. Seems the world’s still affected. Just FYI, here’s the bionics error that pops up repeatedly before the drive belt one:

That’s not a save, looks like you have a mod that overwrites some core game thing incorrectly.  
What mods do you have applied?

Any chance of salvaging this world or somehow roll back the issue within the savegame, if I stick to an earlier build?

I didn’t know people randomly uploaded world-breaking builds without so much as a warning.

You don’t seem to be having the same issue I was but update 5920 reverted update 5917 and I’m no longer crashing. Couldn’t hurt to update to 5920 and see if you’re still having issues.

No dice, unfortunately. 5922 didn’t help.

If 5916 changed the expected vehicle code structure from under my world and now it’s forever incompatible, I’m not sure what I can do. Rolled back as far as 5900 but as I said earlier the issue has probably ingrained itself with the savegame the moment I saved it on 5917.

I suppose my only hope now is to keep waiting for a new build to somehow restore compatibility or undo whatever threw it off.

Reproduced the bug. Not sure how did it manage to sneak past initial testing. Could be something about file sort order - \*nix systems (and Cygwin, I guess) sort them, Windows prefers an unsorted mess (and so could Wine).

I’m debugging the save right now. Should have some sort of fix soon (I hope).

I don’t know what caused the bug. 5916 only changes vehicle seats, adds mufflers and camera controls to military vehicles and motorbikes, adds item spawns to Mechanized Infantry carriers and Cargo Trucks, removes CARGO from turrets to fix an issue with multiple CARGO parts on the same tile, and adds a deprecation entry for seat\_nocargo to savegame\_json.cpp

All same problems as above. Not catastrophic (wow, this might be my 900th survivor over the last 3 years).

Forgot to say I’m on Windows 7 x64, playing the 64-bit tiles version. I’ve since updated to 5928 but the problem remains, so I’m leaving that world aside until a fix arrives.

I’ve created another world and another character and so far it’s working fine on that end. I’m very reluctant to update now.

Yeah, the // is weird, if that’s what you mean.

The // should be fine, the problem is that it is loading the same directory twice.

Got it

The game version isn’t updated correctly during migration. To fix, find the mods.json in the save’s directory, edit it and remove the line with “dda” in it.

It works! You’re a god among zeds.

Any idea what triggered the malfunction? Could it have been the minor change in world settings (dynamic NPC spawn false -\> true) I made? Or was it one of the recent updates?

It was a bug on our side. The code migrating the saves didn’t do a part of its job for some reason. It probably affects all saves that need that migration and so is a pretty major bug.
