Save Won't Load

ChanceWinston · 12-26-2021, 06:19 PM

Bought today. Played for a couple hours on an Historical Save with Buffalo.

Went into load it, keeps getting to like 65% loaded and then game crashes. Not sure what the issue is.

Played FHM 3 and 6 for 100s of hours, never run into any corrupt saves or anything.

Be good to know if it was just a random corrupt file, don't want to start another file and sink more time in and find out the same issue occurs.

That's pretty badly corrupted, about half of the files are empty. However, one of the backup folders appears to be in slightly better shape: most of the files are intact,.although there are a few non-essential ones that appear to be damaged and the save crashes when it gets to the league file. I think there's a chance we may be able to recover that one, we'll take a closer look at it and let you know.

Thank you sir.

Not sure what would’ve happened. Any feedback would be great even to ensure I don’t have something set up that’s screwing it up.

I have OneDrive, wondering if I was disconnected when starting and saving this file so that’s why they’re just empty? Seemed to be acting weird earlier and then I synced everything up and thought it may work but if they just never were saved properly maybe that’s it.

When a lot of the files are empty, that's usually a sign that something interrupted the save process partway through. If it's saving to OneDrive, an interruption to that connection might do it.

Unfortunately, it looks like there was a little too much damage to the backup save, it's not going to be recoverable.
