Problem with loading dat files (iPhone)

Postby Kodo » Wed Mar 16, 2011 10:31 am

I've noticed a problem with loading dat files. Basically if you are moving back and forth from one dat file to another using LoadGame() on an iPhone you start to see old screen memory flash up for an instant just before the new file starts running. Is there some way to force the game to clear the display memory before loading a new data file?

Yeah, this problem is rather unprofessional looking. The only workaround I've found is to put up a black screen before loading the next game. I didn't do too much testing, but is that indeed what it is doing? I thought it might be possible when you load a game on top of another game, it reverts to the original game file, and then loads the next one... but not really sure.

Ah, not ideal but that does sound like it should work. I'll give it a go :)

After a few tests that seems to sort out the problem :) thanks, +1 point.
