Corrupt Save File after Game Update

Clarky · 09-11-2025, 10:48 AM

I updated my copy of OOTP 26 on Steam this morning. When I tried to load my save file, the game says my file is corrupt. I tried restoring from auto save, restoring from a backup, and manually moving my auto save file to the parent folder but nothing has helped. Recent messages say that my save file is from a previous version of the game and not compatible. Is there a way to salvage my save file with the recent update?

Can try to send the file to Tech Support, so they can look into it. Also can check your auto-save file to see if a different save may work. Might be from an earlier date. Try to reload the earlier patch and see if the file works
