[Con] Buffs are not restored correctly while loading a game

Hey @Zoljin, are you experiencing the same issue as in this thread?

Moving the view while loading a game can create errors

Title: Problems loading a game Summary: When loading my saved game upon restarting the game, I first got a fair number of error messages, and when I moved the camera around I only saw sky, only to finally find that I was way at the ground, perhaps inside it a little. I could probably have zoomed out to restore to a more natural camera position, but given my broken mouse wheel, could not manage to do so – but more generally, it would probably be a good idea to just have the camera be at either…

I didn’t move my camera as i loaded in though so that is weird, i was patiently waiting for it to just load and it did that to me

@Ponder and @not_owen_wilson are looking at this right now

To be honest that’s the same as me, Zoljin. I’m not entirely sure about the title of the thread. However, the game-crashing effect probably only happened upon the moving of the view – the other effects (e.g. being all the way into the ground so you only see sky) happen as soon as you load.

Got it–we were trying to index the map of buffs by the value of the buff, and not its uri. (The buff would still be destroyed, but would sit around forever, and then get dehydrated/rehydrated on save/load, and then when its duration would be set, would be incorrect). Kinda surprised we didn’t run into this more often when testing.

Keep 'em coming!

Woo!

@not_owen_wilson

Keep 'em coming!

I wish I could put a numerical value on the generosity of this statement, but if I could, it would be astonishingly big, like the size of the sun.
