I just finished Beethro's Teacher, completing all the secrets I visited, and got "100% secrets" on the hold completion screen, even though I definitely didn't find all of them. The restore screen also says that I've solved all the secrets. E.g. for level 6 I see "Explored:100% Secrets conquered: 1/1", even though I didn't find the secret room (and the room isn't displayed on the restore map).

Game version is 5.0.1.6061 on Linux x86-64.

This sounds suspiciously like that bug way back in 3.0 when demos would merge their secret progress with yours.

That's indeed possible since I watched demos from several H&S threads.

Bump. This is a pretty major issue.

I agree this is a major issue. I don't think it must be included in the 5.1 release, as it doesn't directly affect game logic or demo validation. Let's focus on officially releasing 5.1 and we can include a fix for this in a 5.1.1 patch soon thereafter.

I've peeked at the code and I don't really have a satisfying answer. If anyone can still reproduce this issue I'd like to ask you to send me your *.dat files (except drod5*.dat). In the meantime I've added one assertion that may or may not help identifying the problem.
