Save game backups

When the game saves, it automatically creates a backup of the previous saved game, ending up with files titled like: save_1392059033. The numbers are a timestamp of when the particular file was created. The latest file is titled merely save; rename older save files to this to load them instead.[1]

Issues fixed

Game crashes (Windows)

In rare cases, the Windows version might crash because of controller support issues and may need to be disabled.[2]
Disable controller in controller.cfg[2]
  1. Go to %APPDATA%\offspringfling\Local Store
  2. Edit controller.cfg
  3. Change enableController=1 to enableController=0 and save the changes.
Enable compatibility mode[2]

If experiencing a crash in Windows 8, set the executable to Windows 7 compatibility mode.

Game launches with a black screen

If the game launches with a black screen, it should detect controller failure and disable it. Relaunch the game.[2]
If the black screen persists, disable controller support manually (see Game crashes (Windows)).

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/211360/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (211360) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
