Save file gets stuck at "loading nation flags"

Ile · 05-31-2015, 06:34 AM

Hi,

I have a very precious save that I have problems with. It loaded up just fine this morning, but my comp is a bit crappy so it got stuck on my team scouting players in between 2040 and 2041, so I had to ctrl+alt+del and restart the game. I was a bit worried I had interrupted it during an auto save but it seems fine, since save date is at 12/22.

But, now when I try to load my game it gets stuck on "initalizing database, 30% loading nation flags". I can load other saves just fine.

Can I just delete the nation flags or something? I hope there's a solution... And yes, I know, I should've made a back-up file... But I've been playing since 13 and never had any issues whatsoever.

Edit: Oops, put the thread in the wrong subforum... Can a mod please move it to tech support for me? Thanks.
Edit2: Just found the saved league... Gonna try to transfer it to my laptop. I'll be so sad if the save is corrupt.

Okay, so I tried it on the laptop and get the exact same result. Do we have any save file doctors that can help me save my baby? There is no way I'm starting up a new save and I wanna play more before OOTP17.

Edit: It started working on the laptop all of a sudden!! Gonna play one day forward then save and back it up! I wanna put that dancing banana smiley here, but there seems to be none.

I know this is super late but it happened to me and all I did was sit and let it load. It took something like 2-5 minutes on my mac book with 8 GB ram.
