Savegame corrupted
« on: August 18, 2019, 03:24:26 AM »

I'm getting an error while loading my game. I'm not using any mods or anything. I checked the save folder and there's only one save file. Nevermind I found the back files. PHEW, nearly had heart failure.

Here's the save file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8bn53rclwpjshlx/save_monday_4093183462700857272.zip?dl=0
And here's the log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xiv80mi5n71akdl/starsector.zip?dl=0

Is it possible to repair a save file? I really don't want to start over. The .bak savefiles worked.

Whew, glad that worked.

Took a look and the corrupted savefile was completely zeroed out, for some reason - I've seen this once or twice before, but have never been able to figure out the cause. I'm leaning towards thinking it's some kind of file-writing failure either on the API or OS/hardware level, but it's just such an odd and very rare one, it's hard to meaningfully debug.
