Original war save game bug report

[teddo1936]

fixed

[Halcyon Cholmondeley]

No.

[Stucuk]

No one can help if you don't say what the error is. Its impossible to know otherwise. There is a reason the game tells you to submit the error log with any bug reports.

it does not tell me to submit the log, only where to find it. and the error is a WndProc error

Since i programmed the error system i know what it tells you to do. It states the basic error message (Which you havn't even told us) and it tells you to send the error log with the bug report, literally saying "Please include <FILENAME> with your bug report.".

The bottom line is that no one can help you without an error message. The reason the game creates an error log is that the error log contains alot of information which may help debug the issue.

So unless you provide more information i can't do anything.

As Stucuk said, @teddo1936, there's nothing he can do unless you provided the error log you find in your ow/logs folder. It's the only way he can assist you.

[Etharil]

Just send the error log to Stu or at least say what Error Type and Error Text you get in the log. It'll tell him what the issue is about.
It's still wiser to send him the log itself, but with these two pieces of information he should be able to help you.

[Halcyon Cholmondeley]

Just paste log here lol...
Or is that problem?

[Etharil]

As Chris said, you can paste the log here, that'd be the same as sending it to Stu directly. :P

[Stucuk]

Could you upload your UserProfiles directory (Located in the Original War directory) somewhere and post a link? (UserProfiles stores the saves and campaign progress)

Also have you tried validating Original War using Steams "Verify file integrity" thing?

[Etharil]

"Verify file integrity" is an option you can launch when right-clicking Original War on Steam and clicking "Properties". It will check if all Original War files are working correctly and - if not - reinstall them.

UserProfiles directory is a folder of where your in-game User Profile (for example your player Profile name is Teddo there) is stored. In most cases it will be C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Original War\UserProfiles or something similar. Try to find it under a following a path like this (or whever you have your steam). Once you do, create a WinRAR Archive (WinRAR Archives allow you to store multiple files in a single file that can be distributed to others through sites such as imgur or speedyshare) and post a link to that archive here.

[Etharil]

The thing is, Teddo, that the UserProfiles folder contains files Stucuk can have a look into, but he will need to do so directly. By putting them in a WinRAR archive and uploading them somewhere you will not compromise your computer's security if that's one of your concerns.

[Etharil]

None of that will be the case, Teddo as the User Profile folder doesn't store such information. If you have a Dropbox account, for example, you can control file's visibility, sharability and availability as well as completely remove it, so none of your PC's security will be ever harmed.

okay great. so where do i find it and how do i do it? and does stucuk need it?

You were already given a direction where you could find it. Just remember where your Steam is located and find it there. Example: C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Original War\UserProfiles

If you meant Dropbox, it's a service on the internet similar to Google Drive.

[Halcyon Cholmondeley]

Just pack UserProfiles into archive lol...

i know what dropbox is...but i mean the thing you were talking about that WinRAR thingy

You need one of the programmes capable of archivising files, aka packing them in a format that makes them smaller and locked in a single file. 7zip or WinRAR can do that. Most people have it on their computers either by default or download it soon after purchasing a PC.

[Halcyon Cholmondeley]

Are you moron? You seems like stupid kid :P. I don't know about one, who don't know, what is archive and if I say pack it into archive I likely mean create archive and put it to it, as that Warcraft warrior said you can use WinRAR, but I prefer 7Zip. I think zips can create wondows too.
