STEAM BETA PATCH 1.0.7c now available! (read before downloading!)

[co_damsku]

You can find the local cache of your Steam cloud files at ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<your account id>/255710/remote
In that folder, you should find the save files you have previously done on the cloud, copy them to a safe place so you can always copy those back to your local save folders if you want to.
Then in the main menu of the game, open the Content Manager, in the Save games tab, you should see your cloud files (they will show a little cloud next to the delete button on the right). Click the delete button and it should remove the file from the cloud, hence freeing some memory. Try to remove a couple of them and attempt to save a game again, if it works, then it is a problem with disk space. (Also we are working on adding a proper out of space error message in the next patch)
Please note deleting or adding files directly in the Steam remote folder has no effect on the files actually located on the cloud, the only way to actually delete the save from the cloud is to do it from the Content Manager.
Let me know how this pans out !
Thanks

where do download the bloody patch at

Right click your game in the Steam library and select Properties, then Betas.

Enter the password chirpyfanclub, press Check CODE, it will say it is valid and then in the beta list, you will have a new entry called "closedbeta", select it, close the properties. Wait for a little bit and steam will start the automatic update. After that, play normally!

Oh, I just realize you want to put a version number next to your saves.. Currently, you can only do that when you write the name of the save in the save panel.

Ok, thank you, It doesn't really matter for the old saves as the "save build number" matches that of the internal save name, I will just do the version number in the new saves and they should match up with what is saved internally.
Don't suppose further down the track (when you get some free time ) we could get the ability to "rename" our save games actually in the game?

That's the problem, as per my screenshot.
The code is invalid, the closed beta does not become available, but Moo posted (or edited his post) earlier to say it was closed for now.

EDIT: Temporarily shut down the beta branch, we will be back!

Edit: Oh wait... what... hmmm.
I tried it after reading your post and nothing, same as before... but I just tried it again after posting, before closing the window and it worked this time.

Stupid question...


I wanted to test the limit fps parameter to ease the load on my gfx card... but where do I add it ?? The shortcut is not a real shortcut, it's a steam shortcut. It does not seem to change anything when I add "-limitfps 25" on it.

 

[FX2K]

Right click the game in your steam library and choose properties.
Then Set Launch Options

Also, you just reminded me, I want to try this out too.

So far I haven't had any problems opening/saving maps or saved games since I installed 1.07c. Game runs just as it did before.

I deleted several Steam Cloud saved games using the Content Manager in-game. I was able to successfully save a game using 1.07c to Steam Cloud.

I looked forward to improved error handling. Thanks.

Report #2

Cannot exit from Map editor.
3) Fails

Likely due to mods. Check the end of your output.log file when the program hangs.

Cannot exit from Map editor.

Indeed. I can not reproduce this issue with the stock game. It would be a great help if you would link us to the log file !

 

[co_damsku]

Thank you for your help. I upped the priority for this issue as it appears rather easy to max out the cloud quota.

To be fair, the user did have 61 saves in the cloud, which seems a touch excessive to me, I can't recall ever having that many saves in *any* game I've ever played.

I missed the 1.0.7b update (too busy in RL to play game), so I don't know if this is worth posting, but this patch seems to work fine for me. Thumbs up! (New forum s/w should come with a thumbs up emoticon, darn it.)
