DoomRL doesn't save anythng between sessions (2)

<< < (2/3) > >>

LuckyDee:
Must be config.lua, which I've already checked, was just about to post an update. Having set MortemArchive = true doesn't make the game save any mortem files either. Side effect of the same problem?

ih8regin:
it looks like the game does not have permissions to write either file. Try unzipping fresh doomrl, clear read-only from folders and files within, and launch a game just for stats. Yes, also check if there's a difference from launching the executable directly from Windows Explorer and from a link.

LuckyDee:
Tried all options, but to no avail. I'm starting to get the feeling my virus scanner might be messing things up...

The game has to "end" in some manner, either by winning or by dying. A good rule of thumb is that you need to see the mortem screen appear in-game before you can expect anything to be saved to your player stats or high score. Using Q-Y to exit a game isn't enough.

Saved games are actually deleted the moment you load them: this is, if I'm not mistaken, typical roguelike saving behavior. You can save-scum (that is, copy the save file) before loading it, ensuring you have a backup.

LuckyDee:
Thanks, that cleared things up. Finally found the time to finish a run, and indeed my death caused stuff to get recorded. Thanks for the tip about saving as well; I think I can do w/o scumming, but now at least I know where I stand.
