[Fixed] ZDoom Savegame Bug

[Kate]

This bug is simple:

Start ZDoom.
Go to the Savegame menu, select a savegame, and hit backspace.
ZDoom will prompt you if you want to delete the savegame. Press N.
Go back to the Savegame menu. Every entry will read as <New Save Game>.
At this point you are advised to back out of the menu and exit ZDoom. If you like damaging your computer, though, press the down arrow in the savegame menu.
Your system will lock up and won't respond to anything, even Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

OMGWTF?!

Uhh... Locking up your computer won't damage it. You will of course lose any unsaved data, but your hardware will be perfectly fine.

This is kinda like saying you shouldn't lock your keys in the car because the engine might explode. o.O

Uhh... Locking up your computer won't damage it.

It might just be my computer then, because after a program locks up(or the computer dies, or some other fatal error occurs), the next time windows boots, the computer hard reboots at the login screen, and continues to do so until I run scandisk on it(!).

Now see that's just screwed up.

By any chance have you been feeding your floppy drive cheese sandwiches?

Memory is volitile (Except flash and CMOS/BIOS), the only reason why your computer would screw up after a lock up is because either data was being written to your harddrive and failed, or the data written was corrupted. What does it say when you run Scandisk? And what OS are you using?

What does it say when you run Scandisk?

I get a few errors about some files being the wrong size, but other than that it says my disk is fine(?).

And what OS are you using?

Windows XP Professional w/ Service Pack 1

Fixed.

Windows XP Professional w/ Service Pack 1

If you don't need to access your files from a Windows 95-based OS, you should convert to NTFS. Then you won't need to run scandisk unless something very, very bad happens.
