The underlying issue is known: https://github.com/widelands/widelands/issues/3671

But this is not good, not good at all…
Can someone please test whether b20 savegames can still be loaded with master? If not we need to fix this very very quickly

the culprit is https://github.com/widelands/widelands/pull/3933
and savegames containing barbarians, frisians and atlanteans will fail therefore.

Sorry I didn't think about savegame compatibility.

My idea for a quick fix will be to use the on failure fail parameter. I need to test this though.

I opened a pull request to just start the main program when this happens: https://github.com/widelands/widelands/pull/3960

Handling savegame compatibility while loading the game is better performance rather than doing it continuously throughout the game.

Could you please test your savegame with https://github.com/widelands/widelands/pull/3961

Thanks!

I checked some b20 savegames and they load fine except for the scenario Surprise, Surprise! which throws this error:

A save from the scenario The Great Stormflood loads but on mission completion shows this error:

Error in Lua Coroutine
[../src/scripting/lua_errors.cc:22] [string "scripting/mission_thread.lua"]:458: attempt to call a nil value (method 'reveal_scenario')

Tested in r24654[c8ca093@master] (Release)

And on the topic of game being slow, the performance does seem to have degraded noticeably since build 20.
