I looked through this forum to see if anyone else had this problem but didn't find anything.

Anyways, I installed this earlier tonight and went to play a bit. Saving seemed normal until I tried to load. The preview picture is missing (while the name is intact) and when it gives me a Y/N prompt pressing Y does nothing. If I restart the game it acts as if the save never existed. Quicksaves don't work either. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's my eduke32.log:

open the files eduke32.cfg and duke3d.cfg with notepad

scroll down to [setup]

change ModDir = "whatever you have here"

to either

ModDir = ""

or

ModDir = "/"

I forgot which one is right. Try the first one first and see if it works.

Thank you sir. It was "/"

Works great

Also, you should install OpenAL 1.1:

You're welcome, but IIRC it was DeeperThought that first found this solution awhile back so he deserves the credit.
