[16.36] Invalid or corrupt save file. info.json not found.

Post by Bame »

So today my 150+ hours save file got corrupted and i can't open it anymore. I'm not really sure how it happened since the game didn't crash or go through any glitches last time i played.
First the error was "Bad zip file" so i went to the saves folder, found my zip file and repaired it with WinRAR, and now it says "info.json not found"
I tried making an info.json myself(I'm not really sure if this is what i'm supposed to do, but i don't really have options), but it won't let me copy it there because "The file's size is too big for a ZIP folder, use RAR"(same thing popped up if i renamed it to rar)

Anyone know how to fix this? Or do i have to restart sadly?

Do you have original zip file?
Try to open it in any editor that can show it in hex. If you find that big part is 0's it's damaged beyond repair and nothing will help.
