Computer crashed and game went.

This is all my fault as I didn't make a backup.

I was saving my game when my something went wrong. The windows error message came up and it crashed back to desktop. I then booted it up again and tried loading. The game loaded with standings and messages intact, but all of the players on my team had been replaced by J. Unknown, and they all had stats of 0.

If I try to do anything to move the game forward it crashes to desktop again.

Is there anyway to save my game, or is the dream over?

Give it to me straight. I can take it.

This is a looooong shot but it has been known to work. Do not hit the continue button to start your league try using the load game button instead and select your league to load it. You may have luck there.

Thanks for the advice. Tried it, but it didn't work. Never mind, it will be fun starting again.

Let this be a lesson to myself to back up the files at least once a season.

Crashes while saving do tend to be fatal.

Is there anything else that we can help you with?
