Well, BS2 completely and utterly broke my data files for 40k on my computer to the point where I can't even get BS1 working again. Add that to BS2 being buggy at the moment and data files not neatly transferring from one version to the next and you have an equation that leaves me screwed for keeping up.

 

Good luck people, I'm pretty much just hoping that my phone doesn't somehow corrupt and that I don't have to go back to paper/spreadsheet lists before BS2 is properly figured out by those who created it.

Can you not just uninstall both and reinstall old BS?

:lol: oh, friend, I tried that first. I'm the kind of guy who keeps .exe files from previous versions of programs just in case this crap goes down. Seems the files from BS1 are one way and the files from BS2 are another way, one reason is what Taeknologik (sp?) pointed out: the roster types (Baal/Angel's Blade Strike Force) are in different spots and don't seem to function outside of their intended version. On my phone it seems the two can share data but not so on my computer.

 

I'm sure it will be sorted out eventually, but in the meantime I can't do any alterations to my BA file here. It's in a real sweet spot and there's another (inferior, of course :P) public file available so it doesn't matter much. It's really just an annoyance for me because I finally found a minute to go and tweak a few little things and I got met with a whole lot of BS (...and I don't mean Battlescribe :/).

I can take a look later today re. BS2 files.

 

To keep playing with BS1 in the meantime, I believe these are the 'last known good' files for that version:

(ie. getting back a valid wh40k file the ba file references)

I went to open one of my lists in BattleScribe on my iPhone (v1.15.10) and it crashed. I now can't open any lists without it crashing!

 

I've tried adding the data from the post above and creating a new list but this also crashes it.

 

Can anyone help?!

BS1 still works for me. BS2 also isn't as bad (in my opinion) as everyone has been making it out to be, but I also never paid for the full version of BS1 and always just dealt with the ads/having just the basic functionality. I'll probably end up deleting BS1 since there's no support for it anymore, and because BS2 meets my personal needs just fine.

Even if there's bugs with BS2 it will be worked out as it's the supported version of the app. When it was first rolled out the public data files hasn't been officially converted over so there were issues, I'm sure that's (at least mostly) sorted out by now.

 

 

Edit: likely not, with regard to old lists. They were made using differently built data files.

Thanks guys I'll give BS2 a try. Is there a way to import lists from BS1..?

When I downloaded the new Battlescribe, it asked if I wanted to import lists from the old version, however when I tried to do so, nothing actually got imported, and those same lists were also removed from the old version. I lost around a dozen or so (Blood Angels) lists to that. So I would recommend not trying to import; just manually create each list again, using the one from the old version to make sure everything is the same.

BattleScribe 2.0 had a bit of a rocky start, but I think we're doing OK now. There's been a lot of fixes and performance improvements, so make sure you're up to date with the app.

 

Refresh your data regularly too. The data guys have been updating rapidly.
