Saved characters don't show up at character select screen.

Hope this is already fixed in the svn.
Exit&Save button? I just pressed Escape when it said to, then it brought up text (right over the normal ingame text, no less), and then it brought me to the menu when I pressed enter.

EDIT: Although the character is indeed saved, it's as if Egoboo can't see it...Any ideas?

Is your save folder missing any files?

Or maybe your version contains that ancient bug where the first folder in your save folder is not loaded. (try making a copy of that savegame into the same folder)

I'm using the "stable" 2.81, and you're saying to copy my saved game into the Egoboo folder?

no, simply make a copy of the same savegame into the same folder.

Example:
saves/loggy.obj

After:
saves/loggy.obj
saves/loggy2.obj

Ah, okay. I just wonder why this would be an issue.

Sorry I haven't replied for three days, but apparently copying/renaming the folder did nothing.
