I was in a game. I saved the game. I tried to load the game, but it didn't work. I got the error message.

Failed Launching URL

Thanks so much!

For some odd reason, every time I quick save the game and then quick load it, it just crashes and goes straight to my desktop. I don't get any crash errors either, and honestly, I don't know what to do.

Do you have the latest release? I updated the file above. Redownload.

Make sure you put the game in C:/ shorter paths are better for old Unreal engine 1.

Try downloading the new file. I tested it again along with a few people on the team and it should be fixed.

I downloaded the game last night after you updated but I will try again.

What did you guys do to fix saving?

I JUST downloaded the game. Quick-saving (F5) still just prints "SAVING" on the screen and hangs the entire game, forcing me to ctrl-alt-del out of it. I have Windows 7 and the game in the parent directory of an SSD drive. The DNF Restoration First Slice works on my computer.

All the map packs are available and work with that so feel free to just copy and paste them into there!

How does regular save/load work for you?

HUD scaling no longer works at all. With HUDScale=1.000000 the HUD is very large and does not change at all with other HUDScale values. Fix please!
In version FIRST SLICE v1.00 everything worked fine, in subsequent versions it was already broken.
I made a quick save, exited the game to the desktop, then did a quick load and the game crashed to the desktop with an error message. In FIRST SLICE v1.00 everything worked fine, in subsequent versions it was also broken.
Version FIRST SLICE v1.00 is still the most stable: fast loading works properly, HUDScale works properly. Windows 10 Pro x64 (22H2)

Booted this up for the first time (Windows 11) and got this error message:

Debug Assertion Failed!

Program: DukeForever.exe
File: C:\DebuggingApplications\BugsalyerUtil\CrashHandler.cpp
Line: 422
Expression: 0 != dwTemp
Last Error (0x00000000): The operation completed successfully.

Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Regardless, thank you so much for your efforts on game preservation here! This is awesome to see!

Make sure it’s installed to a short path like c:/duke

Thanks for the quick response as well.

the first time i played the game i had errors on the rooftop against the cops, i couldn't play again, after deleting my profile i started again, this time i passed the rooftop but suddenly the game closed again when an infected civilian appeared in the apartment rooms. and i can't play any saved game anymore. is there any solution?

I've been waiting for this game since I was a kid and it makes me sad that the game has these errors that corrupt the progress.

How I wish it there was a Linux version or at least the source code with instructions to compile it on Linux (AMD64, ARM64) like EDUKE32, I don't use Windows, and I can't make this game work properly with WINE on ARM64
