Save games cannot be loaded anymore

PepsiCan · 08-06-07, 02:55 PM

Hi

I find myself with the following situation:

1) start a new carreer
2) After a while, in mid ocean, surfaced, nothing in sight, I save the game
3) shut down SH4
4) start SH4 again (say, the next day)
5) Load game
6) Crash to desktop

No idea what the issue is. Any advice on where I should look?

Sounds like a good ole corrupted save.

Do you have a previous one to fall back to ?

Even the autosaves when leaving port will cause a crash. That's what puzzling me. Seems that any save file automatically gets corrupted.

Not following you.

You mean any NEW save or any save at all ? Dont you have any saves prior other than in base saves ?

I keep at least 4 seperate save games on top of the in base saves and rotate through them (overwighting the oldest).

Ive got this problem to. i might have to go back 6 or seven saves to get back into the game which is just a pain.

Its saves all ok and theres no error. but when i load it up. Bang!! straight back to desktop.

I dont wanna go back an hours play just to do it all over again with the risk of it happening again!

Strange. I've got a save game which crashes sometimes. Then again, I wasn't far in the career when it happened. Everytime I load the game it works. But if I try and leave the career or go to the main menu it crashes out to the desktop. :hmm:

I wish they would properly finish this product. It still has an unpolish feel about it. Hope they do a v1.4 patch. Things still annoy me even now. It is alot better though with the v1.3 patch, just.. why produce a game with exclusive material, tin boxes, official soundtracks, badges, maps when they do a half-baked version.

I'm ranting... sorry folks!
