Corrupted save game file help?
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2025 7:45 pm
When trying to load my 500+ hour factory I get the following message:
Corrupt map: unknown entity prototype ID 41035. File has likely been corrupted due to failing hardware.
I can't load any of the autosaves either. Worse, my Steam cloud save was updated with the corrupted one, meaning I don't have the uncorrupted files anymore to play on other machines.
Since the error mentions hardware issues, I did extensive stability and memory testing and it came back negative, I have also removed the slight overclock I had and I still can't load it. None of my other games or programs are having issues.
I spent a lot of time in it, is there a way the file can be recovered so I can at least upload it to Steam in a working state? I know some of them can be recovered because I found it in this forum, but I havent really found the method. Can someone help out?
