[0.17.79] Saving the game cause bad save/bad zip file help

Post by Keenparchment »

When I was saving my game, the save bar would go halfway until an unexpected error popped up. It said to post the contents of the log file on the Factorio forums. When re-opening the game, there is a Notice that said: Opening zip C:/Users/pcmcp/AppData/Roaming/Factorio/saves/ROBOTWORLD.tmp.zip failed: Bad zip file.

While playing the game, I am running a lot of mods, however, I did not install any other mods mid-game. I still have the main save file, as well as the three _autosave files.

Does the original error reoccur when loading and saving the latest loadable save?
What kind of help do you need?

Yes, I have tried to save the other files, and the error still reoccurs with the Notice message and the Unexpected error message.

The help I need is if the map can be saved, or do I have to restart.

Upload the latest loadable save to google-drive or similar and post a public link to it here.

Is the map able to be saved? or is there no hope.

There might be a chance, but a dev would have to take a look at it and that might take a while.
