trying to load a old map

Post by smiley meow cat »

i haven't played factorio in a while and i was trying to play one of my old maps on version 0.12.35-0 and i get this error

...Data/Roaming/Factorio/temp/currently-playing/control.lua:1: module defines not found; no such file C:/Users/potato/AppData/Roaming/Factorio/temp/currently-playing/defines.lua no such file C:/Users/potato/AppData/Roaming/Factorio/temp/currently-playing/defines.lua no such file C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/data/core/lualib/defines.lua

i've tried everything i could think of to fix this problem but nothing has seemed to work, i honestly just want to save what i've built on the map and i don't mind losing my items. i had some other maps that were on the same version and they loaded up so im not sure if my map is just gone forever or if there's a way to save it, any help would be greatly appreciated

I am also sorry for late reply (busy weekend). I can load the save without trouble, are you sure you uploaded the broken one?
I loaded it and resaved it in 0.15.34
