Title: Error message when opening game
Post by: barefoot on Mon 06/12/2010 14:31:55
Hi

I saved my game and shut down computer. When i later restarted i got this error message on trying to open the game.. Can anyone shed any light. I have been having a few problems with AGS lately.

In your game folder is a file called "Game.agf.bak". Rename it to "Game.agf", overwriting the existing one in the process. That should fix it.

(In case the files are named "Game" and "Game.agf", open the folder settings and turn off the option that hides known extensions.)

Hi Khris, it says file Game.agf already exsists.. cannot overwrite  ??

I moved Game.agf.bak it to desktop.. renamed it to Game.agf and put it back and overwrote old one.. but still get the error  :-X

In that case, delete "Game.agf" first (or better, move it somewhere else).

Hi Khris

in the end decided to begin again.. luckily i made a copy of the room scripts.. so not quite so much to do...well, not quite as much but still a bit... such if life..

But what you said is something i will remember...

cheers Khris
