A few questions about Flaming Cliffs

[Alexrey]

1) What version of Lock On is FC out of the box? v1.1?

 

2) Is the saved game error fixed in FC? I.e. can I load saved games properly?

 

Thnx guys

Ad.1 Yes, it's version 1.1. Then You'll need to download 1.12b patch from a website.

Ad.2 Unfortunatelly it isn't fixed.

It's not fixed?! Then why am I even getting FC! I can't believe they haven't attempted to fix such a simple (for them at least) problem; every game allows you to save and load!

 

Has anyone from the community maybe made a fix for the save error? The reason I ask is because I live in South Africa AND have a 96k wireless internet connection, so my distance + slow internet connection means that multiplayer will be out of the question for me. So singleplayer mode is all I have...

Have you entered Hyper Lobby and checked what's your ping time to LO servers? It's not so much important you've 96kb/s internet connection, just you need less than 250ms ping time between server and you.

Cool I'll give it a try! :)

No. But be careful what you call it, what you mean is SAVED STATE, not Save Game.

 

Saved State is where you save a mission part way through and then start it up again at some later date. For the vast majority of folks (if not all of them) this sadly does not work. So the advice is, do not start a Mission unless you are pretty sure you have time to finish it. Not a big deal as many missions are only 15-20 minutes long in my experience. If the phone rings and it is important, then they will ring back later ;).

 

What does work is saving in a Campaign, ie once you have finished a particular mission in a campaign, you can save your progress so you can move onto the next mission within the campaign

[Alexrey]

Well the main reason why I wanted to save while in game was because it's so damn difficult. So if I dodged a missile or shot down a bandit I'd save straight away! Why has this issue never been fixed, surely it wouldn't be too hard? And for a lot of gamers, online play isn't an option.

[Alexrey]

Okay I can't take it anymore! Singleplayer without being able to save is just too much. I've decided not to get Flaming Cliffs and I'm gonna take Modern Air Combat back to the shop tomorrow. I'm sick of games only catering for online play; not everyone has high speed internet.

 

If you decide to one day fix this major issue then please send me an e-mail ED, but I think that will be highly unlikely. Cheers guys
