Unable to save to disk

    On version 50.6, I am unable to save scenes locally. I have even done a complete reinstall of TPT, yet the problem persists.

    I have attempted to save with several different scenes, all with what I assume are valid names.

    Windows Vista 64-bit, if that helps.



    Edit: I should have done some additional testing before posting. TPT must be run as administrator in order to save saves. This doesn't apply to stamps however, which is a bit silly. I sincerely hope this bug is fixed soon, and perhaps that a moderator could move this topic to feedback.

    New addition, of course it's going to have problems. So, wait it out, 51.0 should have a fix.

    Sorry... another update. It's a bit worse than I thought.


    Having TPT in scale:2 mode prevents you from saving locally. Administrator may have nothing to do with it.

    EDIT: You can't save without running as administrator and being in normal scale. Failure to do either one will result in the save dialogue being completed, yet no file being created, and the save dialogue freezing up, respectively.

    Scale 2, administrator and installed
    Still can't save. It might be fixed in the next update.

    scale:2 bug fixed for next release.


    I don't know what the problem is with needing to run as administrator. Local save files are created in much the same way as stamps.

    By "save dialogue being completed" I assume you mean the dialogue closes. But if the game can't write to the save file, it should display an error message and not exit the save filename screen. Are you sure the saves don't show up in the 'open local save' screen?
