Game Saves successfully but will not load
« on: October 02, 2018, 08:19:03 AM »
I have been using save copy and after a certain point I am unable to load games saved despite continuing to play on that file for hours after, and make more saves as I go. When I check the log I get the below error. I am able to load games from 2 hours in, but after that I get this error.

The wording on the error is

"Error loading saved game, see starsector.log for details
its possible that the save game is from an incompatible version or was created with mods that are now disabled."

This happened from saving a copy in the campaign map then trying to load it seconds later and it still would not work.

If nothing else I'd like to figure out which mod is causing this so I can stop losing campaigns to it, if I cant figure out how to fix this.

Could you link to a non-working save? It looks like somehow invalid data ends up in the XML, exactly where it ends up could help point towards how/why that happens.

Thank you! Looking at the line the log indicates - line number 344863 - it's the following:

<savedVariant z="147117" hId="SRD_Ascordia_default_D" v="0" c="0" hVId="SRD_Ascordia_prototype" vDN="Prototype" s="REFIT" mAAW="false" q="0.8" gV="false">

In particular, this part: vDN="Prototype", which is the variant display name.

The exclamation marks are not the regular ascii ones. So I'd say that whatever is creating that variant with that name might be to blame. A good quick test would be to open up the not-working savefile and delete the exclamation marks, then trying loading it to see if it works.

Problem solved!

It worked and I loaded in successfully. Thank you so much! Also showed me a bit on how to troubleshoot this myself if it happens again.

This would have cost me a playthrough that I've been uploading on Youtube so far.

Nice! If you don't mind, could you let the mod author know this is an issue? That is, if this is indeed mod-related.
