Hardlocked computer, rebooted, game now won't load

[malichai11]

I imported an OOTP19 save. Played for a few hours. Then my computer hardlocked on me in the middle of OOTP20 simulating in January. When I tried to reload the game, it told me the game was an OOTP19 save file and to use the import. ****. Okay, so I tried to load the world.dat that was in the OOTP20 save game folder and it says, "OOTP cannot import this saved game because it was saved with OOTP-1. This version of OOTP can only import saved games with version #19."

Seems the save is corrupt.

You should be able to restore from the autosave function. Instructions on doing that follow:

To restore from the automatic backup, do the following:

1) Open the game and on the start screen, click on Settings (or Preferences in OOTP 11-14).

2) Now click on the tab "Troubleshooting".

3) Click "Open folder containing saved games".

4) Now open up the league folder you're wanting to restore.

5) Then select all of the .dat files in the folder and back them up (just in case) by copying them to a temporary folder or creating a zipped file with them

6) Open the folder called "auto-save".

7) In there, select all of the ".dat" files and copy them to the league folder (the parent of the current folder) overwriting all of the ".dat" files in the league folder.

Now start the game and load your league.
