Corrupt Save File

Post by ubergeekking »

Is anyone able to recover a save file that fails to load completely?
The game crashes halfway through loading. No mods. Tried two different pc's. Even the three autosaves crash the same.

Save and Log are in my shared folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

I posted on the subreddit, didn't know it should go here first.

The file you've uploaded on google drive is not the same one in your crash report.

Your log file says:
Loading Level.dat: 42893707 bytes.
And when I load it mine says:
Loading Level.dat: 42800967 bytes.
Does this save load for you? https://www.dropbox.com/s/mcystu7pw2xnmhq/test.zip?dl=0

It worked. Thank you! Is there anything you changed on it to make it work?
I'm not sure why the the file size is different though.

Edit: I think steam sync messed it up. This save is missing about 3 hours of game time, which is how long i played on my other pc. My internet connection has been spotty all week.
