Description of Capx

Layout1 - Starting layout

Layout2 - Save game layout

The starting layout is layout1. It has a single save game button that takes you to layout2. The text objects are hidden and will show up accordingly if the game either successfully loaded or failed to load.

Layout2 aka save game layout has a button to save the game to a slot named 'slot1'. The load button loads 'slot1'. Since Construct 2 only saves the layout currently in use, saving works by writing global number 'saveslot' to 1 and loading Layout1. Layout1 sheet then saves the game to 'slot1' if 'saveslot' is 1, resets the number back to zero and writes 1 to 'saved' global number which works as a failsafe and then gets back to Layout2. Back in Layout2, the 'saved' number is read and if 1, it assumes the save is successful and prints out "Did the saving work? 1" or alternatively "Did the saving work? 0" in the layout.

It does work this far.

Loading is made in the same sense. Global number 'loadslot' is used and checked in the first layout to load the game. Global number 'loaded' works as a failsafe.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Step 1: In Layout1, click 'save game'
• Step 2: Click 'save to slot1'
• Step 3: Click 'load from slot1'

Observed Result

Loading save slot flicks to Layout1 and then back to Layout2. "Did the saving work?" says 1, after saving, meaning it should've saved in the slot. "Did the loading work?" says 0, meaning the game didn't even read the sheet before throwing back to Layout2.

Expected Result

Layout1 should've successfully loaded from the save slot, with the text "LOAD SUCCESSFUL!" visible.

Thanks, I did all that. I entered my e-mail and it read on the website that this is the address they send the redeem code. All checked out, but I never got the e-mail and there was nothing on my spam folder.

I have gotten other e-mails from Scirra and they have arrived fine.

My ISP uses SpamAssassin from their end, so it could be that it has deleted the e-mail before delivering it to me, but in my opinion that's unlikely. My humble opinion is that it's all because the check-out process didn't go all the way through. But I guess we'll see sometime next week when Scirra is available.

This is kind of complicated, so I start from the beginning...

I went to Scirra's webshop (not Steam), bought Construct 2 and paid with paypal. The site said that after that, I should've been redirected to the next page for downloads. That didn't happen. Instead, after I paid with paypal, it redirected me to PayPal's account page. There was no way going back to the webshop, so I went there manually, only to see Construct 2 was still in my shopping cart. I got a receipt from Paypal, so at least funds were withdrawn; but I didn't get any redeem code (I e-mailed support about that).

I'm thinking the problem here is that I wasn't logged in (or even registered) when purchasing. I also entered wrong password for my paypal account when I bought the product first time around.
