Eschalon: Book I

Don't QuickSave

Awesome game. I love how chests are set by random seed so you can cycle their contents by reloading. Because of how I've set up my character the way I win most battles is by kiting the enemy until my mana refreshes. Separating one bandit or goblin out from a crowd of them is hard, but rewarding, work. There's a bug that affects my computer. I believe it's because I have a multi-threaded/multi-core processor? The explanation is here: basiliskgames dot com forums viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1194&start=45#p36725 Basically, two steps of the savegame process execute at the same time, resulting in the loss of the slot# directory. If you see DELDIR you need to go to your Documents subfolder and make a blank directory titled slot6 or whatever. The game will recognize it and allow to save there and access the save slots below it until the next time the error happens. This is not a crash, the game will flag that the save failed and allow you to pick a new slot. The only crashes I've had are when reloading and those are rare. However, if you quicksave on a computer with this issue you risk slot1 being deleted, meaning that the game can't access any other slots as they are all below it in load order, leaving you with no ability to save your progress.
