Saved games 'Out of Sync'

[Blancandrin]

Finally got around to installing the new 1.8.5 build, and decided to revisit some single player levels, only to find that any games saved using the new build throw 'Out of Sync' errors upon being reopened. Is anybody else having this issue?

3 questions:

1) What is the version number shown the top left section of the main menu?

2) Is this happening with all saved games, or just some?

3) Could you share some saved games were that is happening?

Hi Blancandrin, thanks for posting this.

I see you copypasted some of your myth_log.txt, but it's better to post the whole thing.

Also as Jon God said, a copy of the saved games could be helpful here.

I tried playing The Great Devoid on 1.8.5 and doing a lot of save/load but I did not get any OOS. So there must be some specific detail involved here, hopefully to be revealed by additional info.

Also, is it possible that you changed your local folder after saving the games?

I have the same problem after load saved game.

It's strange becouse if I start the mission from the begining, then save and load this messahe 'Out of sync' doesn't appears.

Thank you matlbr that is a good datapoint.

Blancandrin are you also on mac arm64?
If you post your full myth_log it would show us the platform.

Hey all, sorry for the delayed reply.

i imagined the issue might be with games saved from the previous version, so i started a playthrough of The Fallen Levels, and so far no problems. But right toward the end of Bagrada, i restarted from a save and again got an OOS error.
