ggrotz, Good to hear that you have worked with the goal to fix the save problem. If it can't be fixed, so be it. Code is a complicated process, and it can be an arcane undertaking to fix something after the fact. I'll post back to report how I'm doing with my new playthrough, what with me ignoring m...

All, I've now concluded that I should try soon a new playthrough, with the goal of staying within the 1,000 save limit. Now that I'm aware of that limit, I should be able to gauge my saves accordingly. I didn't understand all that previously. Like they say, if at first you don't succeed, try, try ag...

ggrotc,

OK, I'll check in from time-to-time to see how it's going for you. I've taken programming courses in a classroom setting, but I've never had a job where I had to do it for a living. Even so, I can still understand the problem you talk about. These issues get complicated, I know.

ggrotz, I'm not a mapper or coder, so I can't comment on any of the questions you ask. That bit of code I included in my comments above was posted previously by Andrievskaya Veronika. Maybe he can comment further about that and provide additional informaton to help. He seems to know something about ...

Andrievskaya Veronika,

I found information on the Internet about uTorrent. I now have a good idea about it. It has disadvantages, some dangerous, as well as advantages. I'll decide whether I need or want it. We'll see.

Fred

Andrievskaya Veronika,

You say I need uTorrent installed. May I ask why? I'm not familiar with uTorrent, and I have no idea what it's for.

Fred

ggrotz, It would be good if you could locate and change the script that specifies the save limit. Maybe it's doable after all. I can understand it can be hard for someone to believe that one can need more than 999 saves. On the other hand, one shouldn't decide how someone else should play options in...

Andrievskaya Veronika, Wow! A Russian site. I'm afraid I only know English, but I don't even know that at the level of expert. I manage. Ha! I did follow your advice and I opened an account at Discord. I haven't figured out how to use it, though. I have the desktop app. I've not ever seen anything l...

Andrievskaya Veronika, I notice that we can download from the Internet free Deux Ex, GOTY edition, games. Do you know a download site that has the game without the 999 save limit? Those sites don't provide such information. If I can find it, I may download and install such a game, delete my current ...

Andrievskaya Veronika,

Thank you for trying to help me. I think it is very hard to play this game with the 999 save limit. I may give up on this game. Nice game, too bad someone coded such a limit in this game.

Fred

I don't believe the current saveInfo.dxs file will be useful to you. Because: When I hit the 999 save limit, I copied the one Save I needed to a separate folder. I then deleted all my other saves in the Documents folder, including the saveInfo.dxs file. I then started a new game (thinking the game w...

Andrievskaya Veronika,

When I use the "Add the file" process below, it lists the Save zip file (2.1MB) as always in "Progress." It never finishes uploading. I don't know why the file doesn't upload.

Fred

Andrievskaya Veronika,

I managed to upload the Save to Drop Box. You can download it from here:

Let me know what happens now. Ha!

Fred

Can't post the save to a hosting site either. it can't accept a .dxs file. Maybe I can email it to you? Let me know what you want me to do.

Fred

Well, as I said, I started a new game, and then I deleted all the old saves, except for the one I needed that was just below 999. I'm not sure how to get that one old save to you. The forum won't accept a copy post here. Maybe I can post it to a hosting site. Let me try that and get beck.
