Campaign won't load

05-14-10, 01:02 PM

I'm finished with SH5 if this doesn't get fixed.

Ever since I started the Mediterranean campaign, I've had trouble with savedgames occasionally crashing to desktop upon load. Usually I had to revert to the last previous autosave.

Now BOTH my campaign save file AND the autosave crash to desktop on load. I've essentially lost all campaign progress.

I play this game for the campaign, not multiplayer or single missions, so if this can't be fixed I am putting this game back on the shelf unfortunately. It's too bad because I was actually having fun despite the unfinished state of the product. This is a gamebreaker, though. Does anyone know a fix for this?

(I have seen *some* others, but not all, encounter similiar campaign loading troubles, which leads me to think it's likely an OS or maybe hardware issue. I'm running Vista. Is that any help?)

I just got the same thing, but with Total Germany (so only an hour or two of lost play...)

I was submerged with two planes 5.5km away from me 'stuck' like the destroyers get, circling at that range and following my progress. I saved and reloaded to clear that little problem and now both my autosave_in_game and this save CTD when I try to reload... I tried 'progressing' the save by using ACS but it still crashed. Oh well.

Hello,
I'm experiencing the same thing. I posted this :

but there was mention that the remote game saving might be the cause.

So,
I'm going to try and switch to local game saving load up the latest useable game if I can and try that. I'll then see if I receive CTDs and data loss.

You may want to try this too, to see if it resolves the problem for you, then we know that this might weel be a problem common to the remote game saving app.

I tried using ACS as a work around too and it didn't work either.

Are you patched to 1.2 ? I haven't tried it yet.

Yeah, 1.2. I've had online saves turned off for months now after losing a full day of playing due to a power outage and Ubi's horrible "synch" process.

Is it worth you guys listing your mods to see if you have anything in common?
