Cannot load save - XMLStreamException re an invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0)
« on: June 22, 2020, 01:48:24 AM »
Hi folks. Just wanted to report a failure to load a savegame.

This is early on in the game as I'm still in the tutorial, no mods are installed, and it's the latest version 0.9.1a-RCB.

I think this was a manual save from the menu rather than a quicksave in case that's important.

Please find the log:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XPRgoEXpXdPwTDwkeGC4p_QoAPygshlA/view?usp=sharing

and a link to the save game folder:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uGzu5TwmFMIfLJceyucyEVEhZdPQM6va/view?usp=sharing

Sorry, I would paste the log snippet in here, but I get a forums database error when I do so.

Edit: After replacing the yen symbol with a normal Y, the forums can now deal with the stack trace

Looks like your save got corrupted somehow:


Your backup save file doesn't have this problem though, so you should be able to recover it. In your save folder, try renaming campaign.xml to campaign.xml.broken and renaming campaign.xml.bak to campaign.xml. Hopefully it was some sort of fluke that won't happen again, but if it does you should post here again so we can try to figure out what's going wrong.

Were you using any mods?

Thanks for the reply!

No mods as it's my first time playing, and a fresh install also.

I was able to crack on with the backup with no issue (luckily just a few minutes prior) and haven't seen any problems since, but I will shout if it recurs.

Since this happened, I'd suggest making liberal use of the "save copy" feature once you get into the campaign, so you've got more save points to go back to in case there's an issue.

(@Sundog: thank you!)
