[Gameplay Bug] [Unlocked scen list error] [v9.03]

Post by GabeKnight »

Okay, I don't know why this hasn't been posted here yet or maybe I just can't find it, but this is not a new bug:

The unlocked scen list doesn't work/update properly.
(To my knowledge the scen list only saves the most recent scen played)

Also here on Steam: Completed scenario list disappeared

Or do you really think that the only campaign I've played is the BootCamp..? :wink:

While you're doing the "house cleaning", this bug has been here for a while. It's a bit embarrassing to have to use a cheat code for the complete scen list every time, don't you think?

I haven't payed attention to this, but if a mod screws up something and resets the options.dat file, maybe it also resets the unlocked.dat file?
I wrote a batch file that quickly restores these files from a backup folder inside the Settings folder, that file was included.
I don't have any played scenario at moment to test this theory.
Anyway, if this happens without any mod interference and maybe rather on updated game version/scenarios, then another entry for the everlasting to-fix list. :wink:
Should you cheat yourself again through the scenarios, I suggest to make also a backup folder inside there (and also elsewhere on a backup disc/drive) to quickly restore your old settings. Always useful if you change computer or reinstall Windows. As long as the game won't forget the unlocks when quitting the game right away, it should be a good safety measure.

My batch file inside Settings folder with link to desktop:

Code: Select all

copy backup\*.*

Thanks, Horst.

I think even the simple "workaround" to set the unlocked.dat file as "read-only" with the explorer works somewhat.

But hey, this was a working feature of the game previously, so why should I have to resort to backups and such now. Just saying...
