Corrupting a Save...

Postby pazon123 » Sat May 27, 2017 12:03 am

Didn't think I could do it.. but it is possible!

This makes a new game crash the game, and forces you to create a new one.

How to Reproduce:

Start up a game with "The Vortex" (Engi B)
Power up one drone... but during it's power up animation, depower that drone... depending on how you did it, two things may happen: The Drone is POWERED but is VISIBLY OFF(this happens if you spawned it, took away power before it started its animation, then gave it back as soon as you took it away.) or The Drone is UNPOWERED but is VISIBLY ON.(That happens if you spawned it, then during its power up animation, take the power away)
do this for the other two drones you have.
We are looking for the second result (unpowered but visibly on)
SAVE AND QUIT.

Boot the game up again, try to hit continue
Watch as your game crashes.

Crash:

Code: Select all

Version =  1.5.13
