Hi,

i have the german version of DD. patch 1.1. nothing moded.
played MP-game, saved. tried to load:
"Compression error."
Tried loading a different MP-game, same error.
Started save games in single-player-mode, no problem.
tried changing server/host, same error!
any suggestions?
 
As per the sticky thread, All MP related questions/Problems should be posted in the MP forum.

Yes we just had the same problem. We played fine till we needed to reload. Was compression error every time.

Using Doomsday 1.1 no mods or edits.

What is the problem here?
 
Well until this is fixed mulitplayer is pretty much useless. Our aussie group is very keen to play DD, i hope this is fixed quick or a do it yourself fix.

I remeber something like this for hoi, but cant remeber how it was fixed, a few years ago.

Like reported in the first post the saves load fine in single player, but won when trying to pass saves in Mulitplay. Compression error.

Would ziping the saves our selves and emailing it to everyone work, i think we did this when hoi had same prob.

I have logged this for urgent attention by Paradox. Please could you say which versions you are using: demo/unlocked demo/download/CD and 1.0/1.1? I have confirmed this myself with the CD version using the 1.1. patch. Thanks to GREG for his assistance in testing this.

Me and my friends have the same problem. We are all using cd with patch 1.1

I hope, this will be fixed soon. :(

It was with the demo unlocked version, patched to 1.1. The two other players though were the pure down load version with 1.1

It seems all version are affected by this same problem in multiplay.
 
Same problem here, cd-version patched to 1.1.

We found a workaround, though. You'll find the save game is made up of two files, located at \Doomsday\scenarios\save games\. Copy those two files to the map \Doomsday\scenarios\ on everyone's machine. Now you can start the multiplayer game like it's just another scenario.
 
Me and some mates are playing saves fine. all you nee to is zip the two saves files up and email them to the players. They unzip it andp ut in the save folder in doomsday and away you go. Takes a few minutes to do but no biggie until they fix it. Hoi had the same problem in the early days.
