Hi, After installing the release version 20 on fedora, I installed the current development version with flatpack: flatpak remote-add flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo flatpak install flathub-beta org.widelands.Widelands I am able to start both the release and the dev version, but I cannot find the dev version and where it saves save games. The reason why I installed the dev version is that I was playing the Friesians campaign which got stuck in the second map due to a known bug. I would like to continue the map with the dev version, but I need to know where I have to copy the save game to. There is only one .widelands directory in my $HOME. Thanks in advance, Shrimp Top Quote |

But unfortunately you will have to restart the scenario from the beginning with the new version because the buggy state is stored in the savegame Top Quote |

Found it, tried it and yes: It crashes again. But can you assure me that with the dev version the scenario is working? I don't want to start the scenario again, if eventually it will crash again. Somebody tried it? Thanks! Top Quote |

Assuming you mean the bug where the game freezes after conquering the barbarians and having an argument with Murilius – yes, this was fixed quite some time ago Top Quote |

OK, this is not really related to the topic anymore, but I just wasn't sure if the following bug had been report previously. After installing the latest dev. version, I started from the first Frisian cmapaign again: The Great Stormflood. When I reach the win condition (ship expedition ready to sail), I get the following message in my inbox: Luo Coroutine Failed [../src/scripting/lua_errors.cc:22][string "scripting/mission_thread.lua"]:465: attempt to call a nil value (method 'reveal_scenario') The consequence is that the new scenario is not revealed and cannot be played. This error did not appear when I was playing the scenario with r20. I can open a bug issue on github, if this is new. Cheers Top Quote |

Hi, You could try to make a clean install to solve this. Top Quote |

I don't think that the release and the dev version got mixed, because I installed the dev verion with flatpack, as I described in the first post in this thread, and the release version I installed from the widelands repository with the normal "dnf install widelands" command on fedora. It's the first time I use flatpack, but as far as I can see it keeps the wideland installation quite separate from everything else. I can try and remove both versions and make a clean install and see if this solves it. Top Quote |

Nut sure how often flatpak is updated but according to https://github.com/flathub/org.widelands.Widelands/tree/beta the beta branch there was last updated 3 months ago. Can you see what version number your flatpak Widelands installation has? Top Quote |
