v1.14 Update - Robustness
This update is to cover some gaps in the game's robustness. I watched a stream of the game earlier today and saw the streamer really enjoying the game and discovering how it all worked, but then they died and kept getting an exception when entering the 'restart' command. The problem was that when the game restarts it deletes the "Game" folder which contains the game world and then re-creates it, but the streamer had left a file open (the Mysterious Letter) which was preventing this, and so they were getting a big nasty unhandled exception and ultimately gave up and moved on to something else. Part of this update is to handle that properly and just create a new folder if it's not possible to use the default one.
Also some of the guys in the chat seemed to think it was a virus (I'm not too sure, it was Indonesian), so I'm now trying to make sure no big scary exception messages get printed to the console and instead you get a clear error message asking you to inform the dev and pointing you to the Logs folder.
v1.14 Changelog
- Removed mention of a map from the Mysterious Letter, I saw a few streamers read this and then be confused when there wasn't an actual map.
- When starting a new game if the game encounters an error while deleting and re-creating the game world in the default directory it will then try "Game1", and keep trying all the way up to "Game10" before it gives up and just tells the user something is wrong.
- Unhandled exceptions are now caught and a user friendly message is displayed.
- After an error the console will now wait for the user to press any key before closing so that error messages aren't lost.
