None of my saves will load

My saves used to load just fine, but ever since yesterday, they would crash the game when at 63% on checking players. Not sure what happened.

I uploaded the saves to the ftp. Should have my username in the name of the zip files.

The WHA save loads and plays normally for me, but the other two are badly corrupted - there are multiple files in each with a size of 0, when they should be much larger. That's something that we usually see when the save process has been interrupted; since it's happening on multiple saves you may want to check for a possible problem with your hard drive (or something as simple as being low on drive space.) You may still be able to recover the saves by using the rolling backups - copy the files in the rs_one folder of the save into the main folder, overwriting the ones that are there, and then see if you can load it. If that doesn't work, try the other backup in rs_two.

Both rs_one and rs_two didn't work.

So is the game dead or is there another way?

No, unfortunately - the data in the other two saves was completely gone, so if there weren't working versions of the files in the rolling backups, there's no way to get it back.
