Just now I installed FOT and wanted to put in some of my old savegames to continue where I left off. I couldn't find the folder to put them in so I started a new game, made a save then went back to the directory to find where to go. So in this "user" directory there are three folders, "$$current$$", "char", and "save". So I went into "save", got rid of the dummy save and chucked in all my old ones.
Now when I choose "Load" from the FOT main menu it locks up and gives me a deadshit error:
But if I take my old saves out and put the dummy one back in things work fine. I have a feeling I should've taken the whole "user" directory out, not just the saves, when I uninstalled last time but that won't help me now. Does anyone know what's going on or how I might fix it? I don't really want to start again.
Edit: I tried creating those three folders from scratch (not letting the game do it). My savegames didn't work but the dummy did. So do you think mine might be corrupted somehow or some shit?
Edit: No they aren't fucking corrupted. I tried putting in some older saves from 2003, ones where I had taken the whole "user" folder as well. Those didn't work. What the fuck is wrong with this piece of shit. I bet it's that $$current$$ folder. Games that have folders named "current" fuck up all the time and the folder is always the fucking problem. Anyone know what to do besides start a new game? I know it's a pretty fucking specific problem that might not have happened to anyone else before but what the hell. I thought I'd ask anyway.
By the way, I wasn't running the patch with these old savegames and I'm not running the patch now.
