Auto-crash when loading saved game

LetsGoPreds · 10-21-2017, 06:44 PM

Last night, I finished half of my second season after starting with the 2017-18 NHL season. Today I went to load my saved game and FHM 4 simply crashed to desktop. First time in 50 hours of play that this has happened. I tried to load the game a few more times with the same result. I zipped up the save folder and uploaded it to your server via FTP - the file name is "Nashville Crash."

Crashes for me as well; it looks like a lot of the files in the save have become corrupted - I see many of them are 0 KB in size, so they're empty. Doesn't necessarily mean the game is lost, though - if you haven't turned rolling saves off, the rs_one folder in the save will contain the second-to-last save. You can copy those out of that folder and into the main one (overwriting the corrupted files) and that should restore the game to playability (just missing whatever happened in the period between the last two saves.)

I was able to roll the game back by copying the folders over from the rs_one folder - thanks.
