[BUG] Failing to unload a current game.

from Elemental Forums

Elemental Team,

Here are the steps I went through to create this bug:

1. Start Elemental Beta1A. Get a standard setting skirmish game going.
2. Click "Esc".
3. Click Main Menu
4. Select Skirmish.
5. Set up for a new standard skirmish game.
6. Upon clicking done the game doesn't build a new world, instead it just goes back to the first game. Many of the graphical elements also dissapear similar to the Alt+Tab bug.

I noticed that the generating world screen flashes briefly before returning to the old game so it seems that section of code is running it just is exiting too early.

On a side note I have started a list of suggestions here: www.inthedrive.blogspot.com Most of what I have there so far is UI/Gameplay related so it really doesn't belong in this forum until a later stage in the beta.  I will be reposting links here as you move to those stages and my suggestions become applicable.

Regards,
Bansoma

This can be related to some bugs where loading a game is not working correctly. It seems that when a new game is created or a save is loaded the old data is not cleared correctly. This bug can also explain some bugs where for example water appears on dry land - the water belongs to an old game not properly cleared.

Yeah, I made a thread about Tech trees carrying over between saves.
