Corrupt Save -- Looking for any help whatsoever (I think it's lost for good)

[bryonato]

EDIT: meant to put this in tech support, not bug reports, sorry!

My game crashed in the middle of saving during the offseason and did not appear in the "Continue Game" section of the main menu.

I followed the typical instructions to restore from an autosave, but I think I really messed up due to misreading them. The instructions say to backup everything in the League folder, then copy over the files from the autosave folder. I uh... I backed up the correct files but then copied them and overwrote the autosave folder. Yeah, I know.

I tried deleting the temp folder that I saw but I keep getting the error "could not load players file!"

I think it's lost, yeah? I can send over any files for analysis but I think it's all lost. I would imagine it has to do with the timestamp on my world.dat file not matching the rest of the .dat's.

If you miscopied and overwrote the files in the autosave directory, then yeah you're kind of screwed UNLESS you have been periodically backing up the save.

That's what I figured, thank you.



It turns out I have a backup from a about a year ago in-game time. It's better than nothing I guess, it just sucks to lose ~14 hours of real life progress.

Trust me, we have all been there.

Honestly it makes me feel a lot better knowing it's a shared experience lol, I was pretty devastated.
