Not saving player information :-(
by Roy Seney · in General Game Discussion · 01/23/2003 (8:23 pm) · 5 replies
My players are not saving. As much as I enjoy the first few levels, I am tiring of playing them to get to the tuffer stuff ;-)
I had the demo, unintsalled it, and then installed the purchased game 1.2.0.0
To reproduce the problem, I create a new player, play the first level, complete it, then exit the game. Look in the players folder, nada.
Next time I run it, still no player.
BTW, this is the most fun I have had in years with a puzzle game. Keep up the great work...

I really screwed up by not catching this bug. Sorry about any inconveniences. The bug was introduced in version 1.2.0.0 so those of you who never upgraded to that version are fine.
I've fixed the bug and the new version is 1.2.0.1. So anyone who gets Chain Reaction now will not encounter the bug. Those of you who have the older version (1.2.0.0) can download the new version if you'ld like but Barron's description is totally great.
Thanks for all your patience.

Chain Reaction is currently version 1.2.0.1. If you have 1.2.0.0 you might as well just make the fix mentioned above and not spend any time downloading. However in the future there will probably be other patches which you can get here.
Glad you liked the game.

At the top of the GarageGames site is a My Garage tab. Under this tab you will find a list of all the products you've purchased at GarageGames. You can download any product from this page as often as you like. It is always the most recent version.Chain Reaction is currently version 1.2.0.1.

Goto your monster games/Chain Reaction folder and open the ChainReaction.ini file with notepad. Scroll down about half-way and look for the [Directories] list. Looks like this.
[DIRECTORIES]
PARTDIR=Assets\Parts\
SOUNDDIR=Assets\Sounds\
MUSICDIR=Assets\Music\
PLAYERDIR=Assets\Players\
HOTSPOTDIR=Assets\Hotspots\
PREBUILTDIR=Assets\ReactionsGame\
USERBUILTDIR=Assets\ReactionsUser\
EXPORTBUILTDIR=Assets\ReactionsExported\
INTERFACEDIR=Assets\Interface\
ENVIRONMENTDIR=Assets\Environments\
Now change the PLAYERDIR entry to look like this.
PLAYERDIR=Players\
Now save the changes when you exit and play the game, it worked for me, hope it helps you.
