I recently bought the GOG version of GK2, and have enjoyed replaying it.

At the end of chapter 5, something happened, and it crashed; and all my own saved games went with it. Don't know why.

I downloaded a set of saved games from gkart.ucoz.com and placed them in the appropriate folder. When I attempt to load a saved game, the saves I downloaded do appear in the list of available saves, but upon choosing one I get a message that "this saved game was saved under a different interpreter and cannot be loaded."

So I am stuck not playing the final chapter unless someone has a solution for this.

Tally Ho,

I think you downloaded from a Russian site, though I'm not sure it will make any difference.
Maybe a different site?
There are six game saves on SaveGameServer for Chapter Six and I see that at least one of them is at the end of Chapter 5. You just have to register and log in to download any of their saves and it's free.
Why not try that?

Generally if you get that message about the games being saved under a different interpreter, it means that the saved games are not compatible with your version of the game. Your best bet would probably be trying to find saved games from the GOG version, because those saves would likely be from the same version of the game that you have.

Traveller -

Thanks. That should have solved it, but it didn't. I was able to download the file from SGS, unzip and place it in the correct folder, and yes, it appears as a valid selection when I open the game and attempt to load a save.

Unfortunately, I still get the same message, that it was saved under a different version or interpreter, and cannot be loaded. Hmph.

Update:

I might be back in business. By using the .cat file from SGS and renaming an old saved game from another computer, I was able to make the game run and get back into the middle of chapter 5. Now if it gets past the point where it recently crashed, all is well. Time will tell . . .

Did it work?
Maybe it was just your .cat file that got corrupt, and the rest of your saves were OK.

Yes and no.

I got that to work one time, and was able to play well into chapter six. Then the game freezes after Grace looks at Von Glower with the binoculars. I have tried using other saves, with no success. Always get the same message described above.

I guess I have to give up on ever getting to the end of this game that I bought almost 20 years ago, and recently repurchased. Fooy!

Tally Ho,

I would send a support ticket to GOG.
Remember, they're in Poland and this is the weekend but I've heard that they've always been good about responding.

If you're just over it completely, watch the ending in 123Pazu's perfect score playthrough on YouTube.
You're not far from it.

Gil.

That URL takes you to part 54 but you stopped earlier, I think, so just back up one.

Traveler -

Thank you!!

I watched the last three segments of Pazu's production. Great stuff, even if the ending scene with Gabe and Grace is a tad corny.

I will relax and give up fighting with my saved game problem.

Thanks again
Doug

Hey, you're welcome, Doug, and look at it this way: you didn't have to tear your hair out going through that maze.

Gil.

ROTFL.

I deliberately avoided saying the "M" word; figuring my rant of last week left the forum resonating well enough.

BTW, it was a delight watching our own 'private opera' thanks to Jane's ingenuity. What a production.

That "M" made the one in Shivers 1 look good!
