Hi, I was playing the whole weekend (sooo addictive

) and finaly finished my first season, when I decided to save & quit the game on 1st of October, 2014.

Unfortunately when I try to continue the save game I get the Information message, saying the "The backup is 918 game days old!!!!!!!!!":

After loading the savegame all players are replaced by fictional and statistics are gone. By clicking on continue gameday the game crashes:

Would be very disappointing, to lose this savegame. Any advise is welcome!

Thanks!

Try uninstalling OOTP15 (leave your saved game alone, of course), and reinstall it but with today's new build. Don't use the patch; install the game fresh but use the newest version. Then try to call up your game and hope for the best.

EDIT: Oh, and my other advice is to back up more often.

Thank you!

Unfortunately this doens't fix the issue.

I have started a new game and made all the trades I did before. Simuluating to the end of the season now and hope that the development is more or less the same.

Lession learned: going to backup more frequently.
