[Beta 9] Game hangs on loading Beta 8 game saves

I don't know if backward compatibility is not guaranteed between betas, anyways when I try to load Beta 8 game saves the game hangs on the loading screen ("Please wait while loading the game" popup message).

The following error shows up in "stdout.txt":

Code: Select all

[MODULE LOADER] loading module	Tales of Middle Earth: The Fourth Age	[mod.load]	::	nil	nil

No backwards compatibility at this time. Darkgod has said once the game is out of beta he plans to keep things backwards compatible as much as he can but for now, expect each beta to break the save files.

Very well, as a software developer I really can't blame him :D
