Saved game not working

Cubfan2001 · 06-19-2017, 10:29 AM

I'm having issues loading a saved game, at first I was being told the first screenshot yet it still autosaved the game however when I closed down the game and just tried to re open it right now its been saying the last two screenshots and it wont load at all.

This is not an imported game from an older version its a new league from the 18 file.... does anyone know how to fix it in detail? I'm not very techhy

It sounds like the file might have become corrupted. The first thing to try would be to see if you can load from the auto-save.

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. If it's successful, it will display a message letting you know it's cleaning up text files. This might take several minutes to complete (or even longer if the auto-save backup is older, like from the beginning of the year).

Let me know if that helps or not.
