I somehow managed to corrupt my player. First, I lost the ability to play levels (in any hold) - whenever I tried to enter the game or the reload screen, I'd crash to the desktop. The first time I saw this I was trying to play a custom hold in it's default state (one room with nothing in it), but that may have been a coincidence.

At that point, I was still able to edit levels and playtest them. However, I then deleted the (only) custom hold, which crashed me to the desktop, and upon returning to the game, I discovered I was no longer able to enter the build screen either.

I created new players, and they work fine.

Unfortunately, without thinking, I uninstalled DROD - thereby losing the player in question (so I can't send it to the programmers to find the problem, as well as now having to re-solve all of Dugan's dungeon).

Have you got the old game (Version 1.5)? If so, just re-install Beta 1.6 and it will automatically update your files again.

No, when I uninstalled 1.6 it removed the old dat file as well (yeah, I should have backed it up).

Look for drod1_5.dat. I wrote the installer to leave it behind.

The same thing just happened to me.

I had made two rooms with very little in them and I just wanted to try playing them. I've created another player and everything works okay with it. But on the one I can't do anything except look at help, where and who. I haven't deleted the other player but I don't know what I should send and to who.
