1.7.8.2 update: Bugs with the new save system

bugs with new save system:
1) loads map for a few seconds without terraform textures restored
2) has a ready button near the top right corner always visible
3) crashes after load with access violation after about 10 seconds

doing more testing with another save, the game doesn't crash but the terraform textures are still not loaded at all. This used to work with the old save system in a previous version of the game.

another bug: unit control groups are still not saved

another issue, replacing a save doesn't update it's timestamp

another bug, unit move and cloak states are not loaded and are reset on load. Likely all unit states are not saved/loaded. From the description this update was supposed to save more things not less.

it also takes longer to save the game (makes sense though if more things were actually saved)

sound effects are also sometimes messed up after load.

Here is the ticket for it: https://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=6274

Some issues are gameside and others are engineside. I'm mostly translating between the tickets. The yellow ready box was recently fixed in the engine.

Link to crash reports and save games that cause these crash reports.

They'll likely be solved given time. The unit states issue is half resolved.

The new system saves many details about what is going on. All the physics and internal game mechanics states are saved. If you watched a saved game stitched together from the old system then units would jerk around and projectiles would likely exhibit weird behaviour. Things like antinuke missiles not missing upon loading a save game had to be coded in explicitly. That you didn't notice the jankyness is more a testament to the quality of the sleight of hand in the old system rather than its precision.
