Heretic II , Problem!

[Karlos]

Does it say what the error type is?

Often an access fault or whatever...

[Karlos]

That is pretty weird :-?

I wouldn't expect the saved game data to contain any data that depends on the memory config of your machine. Apart from having more RAM, any other changes? Drivers? Engine patches?

Why not just play the game on its native platform, the PC.  The PC version of Heretic II is a much better version then the Amiga version.  Play PC games on a PC and play Amiga games on an Amiga.     :roll:

Shows you how much you knowm eh? How would you have a clue how PPC/Warp3D games play when you own an ECS 2000 HD? :roflmao:

As for it being PC native, soon you will be telling us that Doom itself was developed directly on MSDOS based PC's and not the NeXT system (and then ported to MSDOS using  Watcom DOS 4GW kernel).

Similarly Quake 1 was not actually designed on PC, neither was Quake 2 upon which the Heretic 2 engine is built. The Quake 2 engine was heavily adapted for windows, but its core was always cross platform.

Take a look at the engine source for any of these engines if you dont believe me :-P

@Rogue,

Purely guessing here, but could there be any data in the saved game that is indirectly linked to the machine state, rather than something more obvious. Maybe some cacheing mechanisms hold more data in memory possibly affecting the ordering of tables and such?

Hmm, that does sound a bit like grasping at straws...

I wonder if it is a weird bug that was present in the original game and never weeded out?

(Trying vehemently to ignore Mr. Trollmaster...)

Yeah, he probably doesn't even know who you are ;-)

I show the Amiga 2000 to the kids because it is the highest quality, best made Amiga and because it is the Flagship Amiga computer.  All of the Amiga 2000HD computers at the school ARE on the internet and are running at peak performance.

Cool. All those 2060 68060 + SCSI-2 cards must have cost a bit then...

The kids just love these computers and tell me that they are much better then their mom and dad's PC computers at home.     :-D

Poor buggers. I came from a poor background too. Those Pee Cee 8086 XT based systems are pretty bad next to the 2000, for sure :lol:

That goes the other way, too - I don't even know who he is

don't fear because he doesn't know who he is either  (doomy)

:lol: :-D

-edit-

I was just wondering what Rogue's immediate thought was when he read Doomy's "The PC version is much better.." post...
