Invalid Database Version

MaxB · 12-08-2013, 11:23 AM

When I try to open my saved game, an error message says: Invalid Database Version.

I never had any problem with that game before.

How can I solve the problem?

Did you download another patch before playing the game again? Also what game are you trying to play (Historical, Custom or Modern)?

No, I have downloaded the latest patch one or two days after if my memory is good, and I'm playing in modern.

You mean you downloaded the patch one to two days after you started playing your game? Might be the reason why the database in invalid (new db came out with the download, but don't know if it wipes out old roster db's in old saves).

No, the new database shouldn't affect saved games, which should be always be compatible with new versions now. Unfortunately, the most likely explanation is that something in the save is corrupted, so it's probably unrecoverable.

Thats a plausable explanation, although I don't really like the final part

But thanks for helping, I'll start a new game instead of wasting my time trying to recover this one

did starting a new game make a difference for you?

i can get the message about invalid database version when i try to
start new game from opening day (i think that's how it's described) but
every other way works.

I have encountered the exact same problem. Just crapped out on me on 2019 after the draft. Very disappointing to lose that far in if that is the case.
