playing Yandros St Francis Folly and i cant load any save, tried both darkloader and FMsel and all i get is 'Load Failed', i came across this once before on another mission (sorry cant remember which one at mo), nor have i found any thread in the forum that can help......any ideas anyone
ps. i have also cleaned up my darkloader files, didnt make any difference
ps....whilst im here i might as well ask....Requiem for a Thief.....cant get that FM to play either...loading page acts normally, but when i click on continue the mission just goes black and fails to play.....again any ideas ( ps both missions are by Yandros)
Thanks in advance

Do either or both of these mission work if you just start a new game instead of loading a save?

Were these older saves that you're now trying to load up with New Dark 1.22?

@ Tannar
st Francis Folly plays absolutely normally....so if you die you have to start again from the beginning
Requieum for a thief doesn't play at all....
@ Brethren
no im talking about starting a new game today (yes with newdark installed) and the save im trying to load is from the new game i started today

You didn't install Thief in Program Files... DID YOU?!?

last time I had had the "load failed" message, I was trying to run Thief from a read only folder.

@ ZylonBane.....no my T2 is installed in 'games' file....have no problem with playing any other mission
@ Voodoo.....no i installed St Francis through Fmsel by both right clicking on icon on the right of the name FM then clicking on play and through darkloader by installing 1st then playing....

I'll try loading these both up, it's quite possible they don't work well in NewDark. Did they work previously in 1.21 and now don't in 1.22? Have you ever been able to load saves in NewDark, any version starting with 1.19?
I didn't set a value on the mission file in SFF to allow you to save. It's not worth re-releasing just for that - it's only a one-room mission, why would you need to load a save?
Requiem is from the days when we were still being discouraged by Gaylesaver not to include the script.osm file in our mission ZIPs, so it requires it but it's not included. You can get it here: (

don't know about St Francis as i have never tried to play it b4 so can't answer that Q, but i do remember trying to play requeium 2 or 3 years ago b4 i joined TTLG and had the same problem then ( and that was b4 NewDark came out )

i realize that you don't need to save to or even re-load at all whilst playing, its just that i discovered this issue when i saved when on top of one of the pillars and tried to reload when i missed a jump.....my question was raised more as a curiosity than anything else
