Game crashed during self-test

yeah... had just finished building my unbeatable house. self-testing -> game crashes. log back in and house is gone. guess it wasn't unbeatable. seems a wayward tornado touched down and took it out, and with no insurance either...

Fyi, changes you make don't commit until you complete the self-test. If you were building from an empty house and for some reason time out or DC, that empty house is what'll appear on the list.

If you time-out during self-test it is the same as dying during a self-test.  Brutal consequence that stops people from purposefully disconnecting.

when I say just finished I mean that after over a week I had finally put every last thing in there I wanted and upgraded every last wall to concrete or steel.

Ugh. Worst I've lost from some cause or other so far, was a 9k start (got really lucky on a near tool-less scout that turned into payday)... Had a connection timeout that I didn't notice while building... get back in and wham: empty, robbed/slaughtered house greets me.

Re: Game crashed during self-test

Jason got it restored for me. Emailed him with the download code and playback tape. (which was 20megs... heh, thats probly the problem right there hehe... left my game running for weeks on end). anyways, alls good and back to normal. the next self-test was pretty nerve-wracking tho, i could just see it: "So i got my house restored after my game crashed during a self-test and in my first self-test back in I walked onto an electric floor". made it through ok tho lol...
