3072.0. "Dungeon Master Save Problem" by SHIRE::FITZGERALD (A change is as good as a rest) Mon Nov 06 1989 03:24

    Having a problem with my new 1 Meg Dungeon Master running on a 2-drive
    B2000. The game works fine, but when I try to save, it asks me to
    put my save disk in DF1, then tells me that the disk is unreadable.
    I then use the DM built-in format option. It then tells me that
    there is no disk in the drive, followed by telling me that the disk
    is unreadable. I have tried 5 different disks.
    
    Playing DM without saving is not really on!
    
    I have had no problem with this drive. It still works perfectly
    with all other programs.
    
    Anyone had this problem? Do I have to send the disk back?

3072.1	What version is it?	YUPPIE::WILSON	Tony	`Mon Nov 06 1989 08:54`	5
	I had a similar problem with a copy of DM that I bought. Not only would it not save, it also GURUed after a certain point in the program. I returned it for a new copy and discovered that the first one was an old version. The latest version I know about is V2.0 (it shows in the upper left corner of the screen).
3072.2	I'll check..	SHIRE::FITZGERALD	A change is as good as a rest	`Tue Nov 07 1989 03:39`	5
	I'll have to check the version. I got it three weeks ago, and it was guaranteed to be the latest. I bought using a Visa card from Castle SW in the UK. Interestingly they do not give any sort of receipt, so it will be difficult to prove purchase date when returning to the US (If necessary).
3072.3	Dungeon Master Write Routine Bug	BANKS1::TAYLOR		`Tue Nov 07 1989 09:18`	7
	I've encountered the same problem with my recently purchased Dungeon Master I purchased at system eyes here in Nashua. Thanx for the info., I'm returning mine asap. Todd Taylor
3072.4	Back it goes	SHIRE::FITZGERALD	A change is as good as a rest	`Thu Nov 09 1989 03:20`	4
	There is no version number on my screen, manual or disk. I will send the disk back, and hope. Maurice
3072.5	What is this? Anyway!	CREKE::DUDMAN		`Mon Nov 13 1989 00:36`	7
	Hello DM'ers, The problem previously mentioned happened to me also. The disk is bad and you'll need a new copy. After version 2.0 the feature is fine and I have had no problems with the disk at least (the monsters are another story). SKULLOFDEATH
3072.6	Version is on the requestor	JGO::CHAPMAN		`Wed Nov 15 1989 03:24`	10
	Mine is v2.0 and I've had no problems. The version number appears ONLY on the requestor boxes that appear when you load/save a game (top right corner), so MAy only refer to that part of the software. Presntly stuck on level 12 and its getting tricky.... Colin
3072.7	Why Me?	NEST::CURRY		`Mon Apr 08 1991 21:30`	7
	Could the "problem version" possibly be version 2.2 ? It would be just my luck! I just got this game 2 weeks ago and I'm already having troubles. I keep getting interupted by a message that tells me that there is a software problem and that I should click on the right mouse button to continue....... Mike
