My character is working, it hasn't been deleted, it is in the right area, it is'nt greyed out or anythign like that. So...whats the problem? this...

that comes up every time i try to load my character, i'm trying to load him on a listen server (pretty fast comp, thats not the problem).


Went to check things out in the save file, my .char file is 4kb

System specs

Windows XP professional - Service pack 2
AMD Athlon 64 processor
3200+
2.01GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM



If anyone has a solution, please tell me as i would like to start playing again.

I also have this issue.

I don't really have a solution, but my client side character did get toasted in a similar way as well (inventory issues) - all I can advice, is that if you are going to use client side characters - take advantage of the fact that you can back them up! (they are in msc/SAVE)

this happens with non-client side characters as well, as it is possible to transfer between lan/serverside/clientside (so long as you have the serverside), if you know what you're doing.

has anyone been able to overcome this without saying goodbye to their character?

 

[evilsquirrel]

well..i just started at my last backup, and now im a level 23 shield warrior

but no, i've found no way around it other than not carrying massive ammounts of health potions in my small sack/heavy backpack

 

[Marlok]

i have the same bug with my FN char i hope they can fix it or i must lvl up again

 

[Rayon]

no info from a dev or what?

 

[Thothie]

Yeah, don't buy 200 health pots, or what not... Should realize you are pushing it when you do something like that. I'll make a seperate thread with a warning...

You *might* be able to recover your character using this map:
http://www.thothie.com/ms/char_recover.bsp

But I *really* doubt it... Probably only works in the less severe cases, if any at all. It's a map with all of three entities on it. (spawn, begin, and a light, in a box - my first MSC map, yay! )

 

[Rayon]

is the error memory related?

(would replacing potion model (if i bought 1000 potions) to a like....50 byte model, would that maybe help?)

 

[Thothie]

Doubt it, I think it's just the entity limit (you've got more than 255 items)
