Save file loading fails with I/O error

Post by Mr.LexALex »

Hi!

I had a "blue screen of death" on Windows, the game itself is installed on an SSD. After that, I can't load the save. Before that, the game was saved without any problems, I always saved manually. The crash did not occur during saving!

Please help!

Likely your hardware has failed and the same thing that caused the blue screen crash corrupted the save file.

You need to figure out which piece of hardware is broken and replace it, or it will just keep happening - corrupting more saves and crashing the computer.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
