Ace3: Cannot load Save Games

[Dshrike]

Arma 3 Version: `Game version: 1.56.134627 - Main*

ACE3 Version: `3.4.2.0. - Stable'

Mods:
@CBA_A3
@ace

Placed Modules:
None

Description:
Unable to load save games with the ACE mod active. First, I receive an error: "cannot load "C:...\continue.arma3.save" (or whatever save file it attempts to load). Then, I receive error: "Error 0x00000001 – UNABLE_TO_INIT_DXGI"

Steps to reproduce:
1.) Load singleplayer/multiplayer scenario.
2.) Save while in scenario.
3.) Leave game by pressing "save & exit"
4.) Re-load scenario by pressing "resume"

Where did the issue occur?
Possibly after the eden editor update?

Can reproduce with CBA 2.3.1 and ACE 3.4.2 or ACE master
Cannot reproduce with CBA 2.3.1

I have no idea what this is. Seems to me like BI fucked up serialization.

i know this problem from a while ago i try to load a Save game from 1.3x to 1.4x and i had this same issue.

They are new save games.

Bug caused by initPost event handler in interact_menu module. (compiling interaction menues)
BI broke nested array serialization. Nothing we can do.

Just to confirm, we'll need to wait until BI decides to fix the issue on their own?

Probably yes. We might try to rewrite the menu after 3.5.0 in hope of preventing this, but there's no guarantee that other modules or mods might not have similar issues that will prevent saving/loading anyway.

Just to be clear, it's not that we changed anything on our side, but that serialization in the engine is not working properly anymore.

Is there any sort of work around for this?

[commy2]

Well, removing ACE_Interaction.pbo and all those other modules that require it.

I'm actively working on this btw. Don't be discouraged by the backlog tag.

It works for me - > https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/commit/6a58af5b33b86cde97480b20b49fa7520db5a0de

Great work guys! I can load save games now. I appreciate you guys looking into this. Being able to load save games will let me and my group of friends enjoy more scenarios.

Big thanks to Commy2, and esteldunedain for getting this all done.
