Really need some help with a save file!!

will_d19 · 08-30-2017, 11:21 AM

So my computer crashed as I was saving my game and I'm afraid that the file is corrupt! Can anyone help me with tips to see if I can fix it or resolve it in anyway? I'm in my 10th season, playing every game so I've put so much time into this. I'd be so angry if I've lost my game!

Please help guys!!

Restore from your most recent backup. You do perform regular backups don't you?

If lucky you may be able to use the Auto save remnants. Sorry but I don't know exactly how to do it.

yeah, don't try to load again until you secure those "Auto-Save" directory contents somewhere safe (in .lg directory - your league directory)

copy that from safe location over main .lg directory contents -- copy/replace. then try to load the game...

if something bad happens while playing, in some instances i will "end process" to avoid an auto-save in order to preserve that data. bad = screw up, not bad 'baseball game' result.

if you screw somethign up and it auto-saves, no more backup from that auto-save possible.
