Help Forum Sharing violation GOG Albian Years    qcailleach   9/1/2012 I keep getting a message that there has been a 'sharing violation while saving newworld.sfc' (newworld being the name of my world). This occurs every 10 minutes, so it's obviously on the autosave. When I close the game, it's unable to save the world data, and when I reopen, the file type isn't recognized. I can revert to the last saved world by copying over the corrupted world with the backup, but when the game goes to autosave, I get the sharing violation message again. I've tried starting over with several worlds. It doesn't happen right away - it starts after a couple of hours of game play. Has anyone else had this happen? My OS is Vista.   Jessica     9/1/2012 Is this for Creatures 1? The name of the current world file should be "world.sfc" and is typically located in My Documents. I usually rename any worlds I'm not using, and know that the current world.sfc is the active one. I'm not sure what else this could be, though. I haven't run into the issue in the past, either with the standalone CD version, nor the GOG.com version. Hopefully this helps out a bit. I also should ask: Do you have the remastered patch installed? Doesn't seem to be the issue here, though. Discover Albia   qcailleach   9/3/2012 No, this is C2, so you can create and name a new world with the Worldswitcher when you start the game. (It also keeps insisting that my world was not created with the Worldswitcher utility, even though it was).   Patient Pirate ylukyun Manager   9/3/2012 It might have something to do with the weird ghost directories that Vista saves game data to. If you uninstall the game and reinstall it in your home directory (like a folder on your Desktop), what happens?   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     9/3/2012 It works fine for me and I use Vista. Under normal circumstances it should already have installed a Creatures 2 folder in My Documents and placed the World.sfc file there, to compensate for Vista's oddities.
