Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy - Unable to save

Post by Gringo974 »

Hi there!

I use ScummVM version 2.5.0 on my Android 8.0 device.
I added the game "Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy" but I can't save my game.
After selecting a slot and entering a save name , nothing happens.
Then when I try to reload a game, I have no saved game..
Could you please help me ?

Hello,

Could you clarify a few things for us please?

1. Do you have access to a Windows or Linux, or Mac desktop, where you can test with a recent ScummVM version to see if the behavior is similar there as well?

2. Did you set a custom save games path or are you using the default one? If you are using a custom path, can you switch to the default to see if the behavior improves?

Thanks for your answer.

1. I tested a Windows version 2.6.0 and the behavior is not the same: the save button is working well.
2. I didn't customize anything so I assume it uses the default path.

Are you using the "original save/load screens" option?
If so, can you disable it from the ScummVM launcher, re-launch the game and try again to save/load?
If not, can you enable it, relaunch and try again?

Does that make any difference?

Also, currently the stable Android port version is 2.6.0. If possible please download that from the ScummVM downloads page and update your Android version to 2.6.0 and check if the issue is fixed. The 2.6.0 version is not on the Play Store because it does not meet the updated requirements for storage access that were introduced in Android 10+, but it should be fine for your device.

If the issue persists in 2.6.0 please open a bug ticket for this on the ScummVM tracker here:
https://bugs.scummvm.org

I tested the "original save/load screens" option but it's still the same.
As recommended, I updated my ScummVM version to 2.6.0 on my Adnrdoid device.
But unfortunately the issue persists.
So I created a new ticket on the ScummVM tracker.
Thanks for your help.
