Fate and UAE saved states

[mondblut]

First things first, hello everybody. I am not a german speaker, but this appear to be the only place on the internets for indepth Fate discussion. Been trying to play this lost gem of a game for a number of years now, but kept being intimidated by its sheer size by the time I explored Larian

Anyway, recently I discovered UAE's wonderful little feature called "save state", and armed with this knowledge, I decided to give Fate another try. However, something is wrong - whenever I engage in conversation after having loaded a saved state, the NPC chat gets crippled. Sometimes immediately, sometimes they give a correct response or two, but then I always get a mess of symbols for a response, and then the chat goes all wrong, with irrelevant PC questions and NPC answers apparently taken randomly from the database. Anyone else experienced that? Any solutions?

My version is english 1.6, HDD preinstalled (not WHDload), and it works more or less flawlessly when UAE save states aren't used.

Welcome to this forum

I think, the reason, why "save state" won't work is, that Fate is its own operating system.
Olaf didn't use AmigaOS.
WinUAE tries to save the states of the AmigaOS, I fear.
You have to use "Save Game" in Fate! Tough luck!

Maybe you can try to cheat, if Fate3D is ready to use
But it will take a year or so, to be ready to test

Strangely, I restarted the game and found no problems this time. Other than near killing my GPU which decided it's just the proper time to block the airducts with nicotine-laced dust and overheat fatally, haha.

Could have had something to do with higher UAE settings I was used previous time, after all (they are saved with save state as well, apparently). Dropped them down to A500 level and chat looks fine, save states or not.

Consider me interested Will it have english version?

Speaking of which, how is Fate 2 doing? I browsed through forums, but web translation just isn't comprehensible enough

I think that I will make it multiligual. But at first it has to work

I'm not sure, but I fear, Olaf isn't continuing with programming Fate2 at the moment.
