Hello,

I just upgraded my ToA to 2.0 and since then I have not been able to load any of my savegames. However, it does seem that I am able to start new games and save them fine. When comparing loads between new savegames and the broken save games, these lines in debug.err seems to be the only difference:

Debug Message:  Loading: Game mode is normal.
Debug Message:  Loading Galaxy
Debug Message:  Overran end of MemBuffer.
ASSERT ERROR in file H:\Projects\Twilight\LibKumquat\Source\memman.cpp at line 1243.
Debug Message:  Game started in version

Are these games broken for all time? Is there some sort of savegame converter? I will post a typical debug.err below. Thanks in advance!

-Dan
