Re: [Rails-users] [Rails-announce] Rails 1.3 is now available.

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

I have seen cases where saved files would not load because the D-train
exchange was executed (and recorded) incompletely: the D was obtained at the
exchange price, but the 4-(or whatever) train was not turned in. I have seen
this caused by pressing 'Cancel' on the which-train-to-exchange question.
This error has recently been fixed.

I don't know if this might explain your problem; if not, I'm willing to have
a look at your saved file to check why it fails. But I doubt if there is
much chance to rescue it.

I tried starting at that point and replaying the missing moves and it 
still doesn't work.

I think the problem is that when I selected to exchange the 4 for the D, 
it doesn't save the fact into the log or something of what train was 
exchanged so that rails 1.3 knows what was exchanged when you load the 
save game.  It chose which train I wanted to exchange automatically (as 
that was the only train I had to exchange) but as it was automatic, that 
might be causing the bug of not saving which train was exchanged.
