Playing through Settlers 2 : Gold Edition, and the loading screen for the save/chapter shows a weird bug : see attached.
This is only on Chapter 4 saves so far : The first 3 chapters displayed correctly (on save game) the number, the chapter number, the title. Then on Chapter 4 games, it adds this "save\mission2.dat" to it...
Is this a known bug?
Is it fixable - a file to edit
It's not game-breaking in any fashion, just ... irksome, especially on the save/load game box, which is much narrower than the loading screen...

The problem is in DATA\MAPS\MISS203.WLD – the name for the map is too long by one character within the file. This leads to a buffer overflow, the last character is expected to be a NULL character (0), but it isn't so the next thing in the string buffer is read, which happens to be the filename. It then ends in the expected null character.
The only way to fix it is to rename the map by editing the file. You can use the map generator provided at GOG.com to do that. This may not fix the existing savegames though.
The name of the map is IV - On the high seas, you can shorten it to IV: On the high seas (which makes it shorter by one character).

Hey
Thx for the tip.
I've corrected that error, thou it didn't appear on my machine for some reason.
So - it's new installer with that only map changed. Futures download will be fixed then.
Best

it happened to me too, in the name of the savegames for the 4th map. But I ignore small things like that :) definitely won't write anywhere for that one..
