Well isn't this just lovely
« on: August 22, 2007, 00:32 »
My player.dat got corrupted again.

No way in hell I'm gonna start everything over for the third time. If anyone has a nice good player file with at least Angels of Haste and Purity unlocked, could you please upload it for me?

From now on,you should make backups of the file more often.

How I've understood it is that the file always corrupts after some amount of games. So what use does it have to make a backup file, if it's just gonna corrupt soon enough anyway?

Easily. I hope that "player.dat" from beta1 will work in 0987.

But that assumption would also make using another player.dat file a bad choice since it puts you closer to the limit than a new one would :p
Anyway. You said it was the third time it happened to you so it ought to happen again. In that case backups could help Kornel track down the cause.

Corrupted player.dat's are welcome - 'tis the only way for me to actually nail that bugger.

Riight, and I already deleted it. Too bad the obvious never strikes to me until it's too late. *Sigh*
