This is totally my own fault, I know. I had the game up to find some information on a mantis issue, but forgot I never closed it. When I went to go play later, I started the game up, loaded my world, and played for a while. After I was finished, I quit and noticed that AVWW hadn't closed. I looked and found my player still standing there. The autosave is very robust and even killing the process from the task manager wouldn't save me, or rather, did save me. Maybe there could be a lock file in the save? That would just lead to crashes not allowing the user to start up again. I don't actually know how you would fix this, or even think that you should. But it happened, so I thought I would write it down. |

For 0.934: * Preventing further reality-shattering cataclysms: ** When you try to load a world in either single-player or multiplayer-server mode, the application checks for the existence of a "lock.txt" file in the world's folder. If one is present, it fails to load the world and tells you what happened (and how to circumvent the lock if you're really sure it's appropriate; namely: delete the lock.dat file). ** If the lock file is not present, the application creates one and continues normally. Thanks :) |

Just remember to call it the same in both instances: There you called it both "lock.txt" and "lock.dat" :P |
