Hello, it seems that saving games really doesn't work on 2.1.9. The game can be played without problems, but that's it. (I have always played only local games.) Using sysinternals process monitor to check what happens showed: civserver tries to use expanded HOME path in utf-8 encoding Please note that it's only the *server*, *client* handles this part just fine (verified). Of course this does not happen when you are on on system with English folder names and usernames without accents and such. For reference, eg. here on Czech language version of Win the "Application Data" folder is called "Data Aplikací". I created the garbled path and symlinked (sysinternals junction - gotta love these guys!) the final .freeciv folder to the "normal" one so that using both paths ends in one folder. This works. I'm on Windows XP SP3, using the precompiled version linked from main page, downloaded on 5.5.2009 http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/freeciv/Freeciv-2.1.9-win32-gtk2-setup.exe?download PS: sorry for "I" overload ;-) Regards, Vladimír Slávik _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
