Savegame corrupted?

[Zakalwe]

Hi,

seems my last save has gone south.

When I`m loading it, it loads until the screen goes black and "noch nicht so lange her..." appears. A few seconds later, the game crashes and XP asks, if the error should be reported. The earlier save loads fine, same with a single mission, so it doesn`t seem to be a general problem.

Any chance to bring that save back to life as I sunk a ore-freighter and a Southampton cruiser in that save..... :damn:

TIA

What does the error message say ?

Should be " click here "

Will give you the cause
simdata.dll
simact.dll
etc

Helps narrow things down

[Zakalwe]

Yeah,

I already wanted to post it, but it seems I can`t mark and copy from the appearing screen, as nothing shows up with a right-click.

[bigboywooly]

Only needs the error as I posted above
The rest helps but not necessary
Or take a screenshot and post it :up:

[Zakalwe]

It`s not very helpful,as no dll or something is mentioned, but here it goes:

Exception Information:

Code: 0x0000005 Flags: 0x00000000

Record: 0x0000000000000000 Adress: 0x00000000004c5afa

Below there are bunch of modules, some related to SH3, but this seems to be only what was running when the game crashed, not the cause.

Hmmm
Heres one I just manufactured

Note the blue text " click here "

Brings up this

Have highlighted the error in this case

[Zakalwe]

THX for your patience.

It brings up the following:

AppName: Sh3.exe Appver: 1.4.0.1 ModName: sh3.exe

ModVer: 1.4.0.1 offset: 000c5afa

I checked the windows errorlog too, there only sh3.exe is mentioned also.

edit: btw. this is stock GWX 2.0 with 16km and advanced damgage enabled

[bigboywooly]

Start through SH3commander ?

If not try disabling the enhanced damage mod and try restarting
Longshot

[Zakalwe]

Yes,

I always start via SH3 commander, even rolling back everytime closing the game.

edit: just checked, I have no medals on crew and the alternate loadscreen enabled too

[bigboywooly]

ok well try loading the game without SH3commander

If no good

Unistall the enhanced damage

Then try again

May make no difference
The SH3.exe error can be anything unlike other errors

[Zakalwe]

Oki,

will try tomorrow and report back.

Off to bed now.

`night

[Zakalwe]

So,

tested it, disabled all options, loading with and without SH3 Commander results in an crash.

Seems the save is toast for whatever reason, I even think there wasn`t any ships nearby when I saved, as I still was on my way to the assigned patrol grid (BE 31), so I let the convoy go after the first attack. Was on the surface too.

[bigboywooly]

Hmmmm
Last try

Try deleting the main.cfg in My Documents\SH3\data\cfg and run

[Zakalwe]

Hi,

this didn`t help either. So I try going on with my older savegame.

THX for your help! I`ve saved my SH3 folder in case anyone comes with another idea.

I had this happen to me, and bascially, I just had to start again. I save fast and often and back up my "My Documents" folder poretty often as well. ;)

The save game feature is by far the worst thing in this game...out of all of it.:down:

[vodkavera]

Exactly this happend to me the other day.
I just had to load up prev.save when in port.
Luckily it was a crappy patroll. Bad weather & no contacts.
