Announcing community patch 1.5 - godsend : ]
Which mods do you try to play? You have corrupted mach1.met file. If you adjusted it yourself then it's possible that you made a simple mistake where a single character is missing and then the game won't start.
I really recommend using a version control system like Git or Subversion. It helps you track your changes and it's then easy to spot errors or revert back to working settings after unsuccessful mass edit :).
To test & see if mods would work with this new version of the game, the only thing I did was change the amount of damage the reaper's plasma rifle inflicted. (From 3 to 99) With the new version I downloaded I have noticed that there is no "data" folder, only a "pdata" folder (which only has descriptions of missions). However, in the old modding tools folder there's one that says "data" which lists everything. (constructions, machines, weapons, etc) Weird...
TRIED THE PATCH 1.5. IT WORKS LIKE A DREAM........WANTED TO PLAY THIS GAME FOR SO LONG...I BOUGHT THE ORIGINAL TWO CDS WAY BACK IN 2002 WHEN I HAD PENTIUM 3 WITH 128 MB RAM...IT WAS SO AHEAD OF ITS TIME. I AM FROM INDIA AND EVEN TILL NOW I HAVE YET TO COME ACROSS ANYONE PERSONALLY WHO ADMIRES THE GAME. THANKS A TONNE.GOD BLESS YOU !!
@WICKED-WAITER Glad to have you around! We have a discord server as well: http://wiredforwar.org/topic/169/wfw-discord
So the game works great and runs really smoothly. However, for whatever reason the game will not let me make save files and restarts my profile every time I exit the game. I am running the Windows 64-bit version on a Windows 10 machine. As this was a clean install, I did not have the vanilla version of the game installed before this one.
This is becoming an issue because my progress on the campaign is restarted every time I open the game.
@Hepativore Where do you have the game installed?
Windows might prevent the game from writing files if it is installed under C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) - I would suggest moving it to C:\Games or similar, if that is the case.
I did as you suggested and it seems to work. Ever since my computer forced me to upgrade to Windows 10 I have hated it as I hate not being able to write to the Program Files folder by default unless you go messing around with profile permissions and so on.
Anyway, thank you for your help this quickly. I was afraid that I would be waiting awhile as there do not seem to be that many active users on the Machines forum anymore.
Unfortunately I am experiencing the black screen problem on ati radeon video card with catalyst driver. No pictures, just sounds. it's a known issue (I read the readme file) but ... HELP!
@Takeel Hi! Try asking on the Discord server as well (https://discord.com/invite/J6e9MsY). I don't know how to fix it, but there are others there that could give you a hand!
@Pisarz I will try. Thank you.
