Hi all, I am Simon Livesey , Producer of Savage Moon.
A quick message to anybody that might be having problems with the recent Savage Moon patch. Thanks to everyone who’s let us know about it.
This problem only happens to people who have downloaded the trial version then bought the unlock to the full game. Once the patch has installed you may find that your game either doesn’t recognise the unlock or you get an error message.
We’re working on a solution, but there is a workaround for now. If you delete the game, then redownload the trial version and then the unlock, everything should be fine.
Sorry for the inconvenience, we hope to have everything working properly again very soon.
Thanks,
Simon.

Hey, just to let you know this happened to me and my version of Savage Moon had no unlock key
Posted on 8 August, 2009 at 8:21 am by Simon Livesey
Hi BiosNova, thanks for the info. So you bought the full version from the store and at no time did you have the trial version? We’ve identified the issue, but it is entirely down to the trial version, as far as we’re aware. Can you give us a bit more detail about what happened in your case? Thanks.

I hadn’t played savage moon in a while so I headed over to the PSN store 1st to get the new DLC, got that installed, booted up the game and proceeded to get the massive patch. After the install the game came on and at the top of the screen in said ‘Trial’, the high scores option was grayed out and the new DLC which I had just baught was saying ‘view demo…’
I have never played a trial of the game because back when I baught it there wasn’t one. I had finished the game ages ago so why is my game save not working and how come the full game I payed for on release is now a trial!?

Hi fresh191,
Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Just to confirm, you have purchsed both Savage Moon and the Waldgeist DLC addon? Is that correct? Thanks.

ditto to fresh191. i downloaded the full game. there was no trial version. i purchased both the game and addon, and got the error. if i delete/reinstall, will it wipe out everything that i did for the original game?

You don’t need to delete your saved games and trophies, just the game itself so it should all be intact at the end of the process.
Thanks

I deleted my full game, re-downloaded the full game again and not the trial and it works! Game save is there, high scores everything is still there.
Thanks FLuffyLogic

I deleted the save data, trophies and the game reinstalled it. I bet the game again but I still can’t get it to work. I have deleted the game and reinstalled it again like you guys said and it still doesn’t work. What do I need to do??

Looks like the patch is back up, no problems for me so far.

I really like your game guys! good job!
I love the “metroidish” feeling of loneliness during battles, jumping from moon to moon and only me and those creatures, no annoying dialoge/bad voice acting.
The weapons upgrades are great, I really like that you guys fit most of the map in the screen rather than forcing the player to wander around a huge map and deploying stuff “just in case” to later find out it was unnecessary…if I lose the battle it’s just because I understimated the enemies rather than because I spent funds unnecessarily and because of that ran out of credits
I’ll be looking into the DLC as soon as I beat the game.
Peace

I am in Canada. I did the trial originally. I’ve paid for the waldgiest, update did not appear, I deleted the only game and went back to the store and cannot find the trial version, nor can I find any way to reinstall the program…
Can you post more specific steps, what am I missing?

Got it working finally. Freezes on level 12 of 17 of the first new level. Thing there are still some bugs.
Posted on 18 August, 2009 at 5:26 pm by Thomas Rawlings
Sorry to hear that. It might be that an Insectocyte is trapped somewhere or does the game itself, freeze? Thanks.

Im a lil confused as well I thought the demo had all the game data the unlock key was just that a small file to unlock what u downloaded in the demo. I to have been playing savage moon and bought the DLC lastnight to find nothing new in the game, I doaloaded and reinstalled two times and still nothing.

My guess is that it is in and working – you just need to go to the new level select area. Select to play the game: In the level select screen go left to access them. We also re-structured the normal/vengence mode stuff so that we could fit more in and you now select the versions of each level in the level select menu.

Found a glitch. On Odin level of Waldgeist, after a few waves and a full amount of towers on the field, the game will stop spawning enemies and only spawn the smaller bugs that come out of the Womb creatures. They don’t move or attack, but will stand at the exits of the underground holes. No waves will spawn, and even if you build towers next to the holes to kill the little bugs on the final wave, the level will not end and the remaining enemies will not spawn. I noticed it starts happening when the repair, sensor, slow, & amp towers are built.
It’s rather annoying since it doesn’t let the level end and you can’t get to the next level without finishing this one which locks up after this happens.
I have deleted and redownloaded the game but this still happens.
