A bug

Post by Emiliano »

Norbert, Fix apoplexy please!
I was making a new mod with broken rooms and apoplexy deleted all my progress when I was on level 5, I don't know why did this happen, but I'm sure you can fix it

If I cannot get the file, then I cannot investigate/help.

As you can see the first four levels seem to haven't been modified, but I lost all my progress and now I have to restart :cry:
I know what did I do, I moved the file and redownload Prince, so my file was replaced with the Jordan's file

I think so.
I'm not sure what you are doing.
But if you copy LEVELS.DAT to a safe location as a backup, you should never lose progress.
Then you can always copy LEVELS.DAT back from the backup, if you run into a problem.
