Grimoire 1.2.0.9
Version 1.2.0.9
----------------------------------------
Minor crisis averted. I think. Clean out your cache, make sure the game is uninstalled and
there are no files lingering in the folder. Make sure your savegames are copied out.

Once the game is installed, copy your RPG100.lib and savegame files back in. Any problems loading them let me know. Use the "fast.qst" file included with this build for the time being until you create your own.

The user data will have to stay in the main folder until I figure out how to get the permissions from the Steam build to create a user app folder on that end. I have turned on automatic updates so it is now actually possible to simply update the .exe and .rsf without losing any of that user data - it is only erased when you uninstall. You may want to backup this file once in while for safety's sake.

I'd like to hear this build is all working again. I just tested it on my two laptops here and it seemed to run fine. Make sure as described above you don't leave old broken files in that directory but your former savegames should load if they were created before 1.2.0.5 or earlier. The versioning is now built-in to the exe and automated with each release compile so that number you see on screen should always match the one written to the log.

I'd like to hear everything is back to normal, relatively. Make sure your version reads "1.2.0.9" to make sure you have the version that is live now.

"I have turned on automatic updates so it is now actually possible to simply update the .exe and .rsf without losing any of that user data"
Staying on .5 for a long time, I guess.

Guys forgive ny ignorance since Inhave never used that Steam spyware shit I dont know where are the Grimoire game files located to I can drop my save games from .1 version on see if the run.... some help there?

 

[Biggus]

Some people had crashes when picking up keys in 1.2.0.1. I've never crashed picking up a key. I'm thinking maybe it was a screen resolution issue? I run full screen, scaled to fit.

Yeah, same, never saw a crash with a key using 1.2.0.1, also running full screen scaled. It is a better game when you don't have NPCs.
Not had a crash yet, though crashes weren't all that frequent I guess.

I just got the game today (complimentary IndieGogo backer steam key). So I started with version 1.2.0.9. There were issues with the game not starting correctly, but this was resolved by removing the duplicate save file in the installation folder.

I played the game for 90 minutes, and was having quite a bit of fun. But when I exited and returned to it, I found that the game I saved/overwritten over slot 1 was gone. I think what happened is that there is a bug where if you overwrite a save game slot, the game is not really saved.

I don't really consider that time all lost, since I was mostly learning the interface.

Hopefully these savegame issues will be resolved in a future build/version.

right click on the game, view properties, click local files tab, select browse local files

Already a report of a savegame issue in 1.2.0.9. I've been running on minimal sleep for days, so I'm gonna let you guys fully test it for me. Hopefully I will wake to good news.

Savegames are broken on the .9 update. You can save in a new slot, but you can't overwrite any of the savegames, even though it says it does. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling, deleted my saves and put the back up saves in, nothing.

I can play now but my save games don't overwrite now

I can't wait for people to experience Mr. Barkmore's Version of a DRM system while the winnarz continue playing 1.2.0.1

Also, he locked the 1.2.0.9 Feedback thread.

 

[J_C]

Yeah, just put DRM in your game. It is such a wonderful indie habit to do.

You can't even complain about it anymore.

 

[Invictus]

So I copy pasted one of my .1 saves and it works perfectly ok .9 version; loaded up with no problems and did a fight so looks like I dont have to restart my save Looks like Steam wont be as bad as I feared
EDIT
Spoke too soon, .1 saves do load but I cannot overwrite saves, I would have to save to a new save space each time
Oh well I can always still play my backup .1 version until things get sorted out

 

[Nixheb]

My girlfriend can testify that I went around being mind-blown a full day of our vacation
rambling about how the cracker jack finally did it.

Same effect here ! It was trully a shock... after all of those years ...

Also : Got my backer key this morning !

 

[Nixheb]

Just downloaded the fresh version of the day.
First try : launch windowed, I like that, fullscreen doesn't interests me.
Quit the game.
Relaunch : boom, game is fullscreen....

How do I prevent that ? :D

1.2.0.5 crashed during combat with worms.

k, 1.2.0.1 it is, ta

It also crash during combat with ?WORMS? that look like they came from Dune. I know it, I play both versions.

Never had problems with that. I have the the version of the first update he did a couple hours after release. The only crashes were from picking up some of the apples and when the Black Lich tried to retreat, apprently also under certain conditions, because the second time I beat him with no crash.

Also, in a town later on there seems to be a bug with some doors not opening - not sure if it's only after force opening them or in general.

 

[DavidBVal]

Saves don't overwrite in 1.2.0.9.

Maybe it's a permissions issue and happens as well to the configuration file, Nixheb?

 

[Tigranes]

Sticking to 5 for now, the only thing I miss is the inventory double arrow.

I do have a weird change now that I rolled back from 9 to 5, though, which is encounter rates going fuzzy. Used to be that even on Rare you fight every 5-6 steps, now 'Rare' seems to give me almost nothing?

Had this problem too. Locking or forcing them, doesn't matter, you can't get inside.

 

[Ruchy]

Is this a reasonable entry level game for the genre? having never played a blobber should I start with wizardry or this? Or alternatively should I continue eating sand in my mums basement?

So Viata, are you speedscumming your way through or something?

I'd opt for the latter, though you should probably start with Wizardry 7 and see if you like that kind of game. Grimoire is very similar to it, but still has stuff to iron out in the meantime.
