Hi dear Devs,

I can not load savegames to the newest version of Aven Colony.

The game crashes after hitting the latest savegame from the campain.

Last status were about 3 hours in Tenari Glacier.

However , to start a new game (sandbox-mode) works fine....

Thanks and a nice day to everyone.

Greetings from Germany

Me again 😉

Aven Colony even at this time not playable (regarding to older savegames).

Maybe it will help to post two docs about the crash. (please look at the attachments)

..and the other doc is coming in via mail...

Hi Ocejanus -- we didn't have any problem loading old saved-game files when we tested it, but we'd love to investigate your issue.

Could you make your AvenColony/Saved folder available via a file-sharing service, perhaps, such as DropBox or box.com?

I have the same problem as Ocejanus. This new build cannot load my old saves. Very frustrating.

NO replies... Are you aware we ACTUALLY PAID FOR THIS?

First, read this if you want to report bugs: [ Link ]

If you are lazy to read entire post then read this:

As the game is in alpha many many thing will likely go horribly wrong (just like on your colony!). To assist the devs in solving your issue as quickly as possible, please ensure you've tried all the steps above. Once you have you should create a new post outlining your issue. Please be absolutely verbose as possible. "Everything is broken" isn't going to help the devs get your issue resolved. But something like "During a lightning storm I clicked on a farm and an alien came through my screen and punched me!" (file that under 'non critical issue'...) is great. Make sure you put in your system specifications like

• Operating System
• Video Card Type
• CPU Type

If you have a save game where your bug is consistently repeatable, please attach that to the post here. Your save games are here:

C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\itch\apps\Aven Colony Beta\AvenColony\Saved\SaveGames

Also any log files from your crash would be helpful as well. You can find log files here:

C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\itch\apps\Aven Colony Beta\AvenColony\Saved\Logs

Use a zip program or use the compression utility built into most Windows systems to save space before attaching to your post or upload the zip file to a file hosting service and give developers download link so they can check and fix.

And dont expect developers to answer EVERY post / question.
