Game crashes during saving process

#1 Post by SDylla23 » Tue May 06, 2003 5:15 am

I am playing KQIIVGA in 320x200. I can play just fine but now that I've saved several times the game crashes when I click on save game. The error I receive is as follows:<br><br>"An error has occured. Please contact the game author for support, as this problem is caused by the game rather than the interpreter.<br>(ACI version 2.51.450)<br><br>(Global script line 605)<br>Error: String argument was null: make sure you pass a string, not an int, as a buffer."<br><br>Help? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Shawn<br><br>BTW - Love these games! I played them all as originals way back when on my PC Jr. I remember crossing my fingers everytime a new KQ came out in hopes that my Jr. could handle the specs. <p>DBLC 2004 GM of the Year</p><i></i>

Umm...glad to see you're enjoying the games. What version of Kings Quest II VGA are you running? Version 2.0 I'm guessing...<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.southwest.com.au/~jackie/my_signature.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

I'm guessing that you downloaded the game quite a while ago? You have version 1 there, which did have a bug with saving the game. You'll need to go back to the Tierra website and download the latest version (v2.0) which fixes the problem. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br> <p></p><i></i>

If you read the ReadME file, it should state what version you're running. Go to: Start > Programs > Tierra > KQ2VGA > Readme. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.southwest.com.au/~jackie/my_signature.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Where did you download it from? If it wasn't the Tierra website, it's possible that another website is hosting an old version, and it would be useful if we could inform them to get the updated version onto their servers.<br> <p></p><i></i>
