Hi all, I'm having a problem where I get an error message when trying to load the save game from the main menu. I have so many mods enabled that I'm not really that surprised that there's a problem at some point, but I still want to know why it happened.

I spent probably a good 6-7 hours on this save without problems, then when I try to start it up the next day it won't load. For reference, I didn't update any mods at all during the save, and I'm using the JRE8 library with everything necessary for that.

I don't mind if there no fix for the save, just as long as I find out why it happened so I can avoid it next time / remove the offending mod for next game.

Let me know if you need the save game and I can upload it for you.

Thanks for your help.

[Histidine]

See this thread (contains a fix mod, and a way to fix saves where the bug is caused by an older version of Fleet Action History mod)

If it fails, zip the save's campaign.xml file and upload it somewhere. Someone found a case where Vayra's Ship Pack might be causing the bug, but it should be possible to rescue the save.

[miles341]

I already had that phase fix mod installed and active, and there was no "CURR_BATTLE_CHILD_PARENT_SHIPS" entry in my campaign file, so I tried that already, and I was using the most current Fleet Action History version.

Here's my campaign and descriptor .xml files, hopefully it helps.

This looks new, and is caused by Industrial Evolution, not Fleet Action History.

[Histidine]

Okay, I looked into the campaign.xml file, and it seems consistent with what modder briansd9 said on Discord regarding someone else's save that had the same problem:

The vayra_already_looted_tpc element contains three instances of vayra_mudskipper_xiv_rd... but the first one has an entire fleet embedded inside it, this seems bogus

What I'd try to do is: Open campaign.xml in Notepad++ or similar, find the vayra_already_looted_tpc list.


With the tree collapsed (use the +/- buttons at the left), highlight the <map> line till the start of the next line and delete


Then put an empty map with the same ID back in its place


Can't promise this will result in a usable save. You may have to start over without Vayra's Ship Pack.

[miles341]

Alright, I can confirm that this resulted in a loadable save! Thank you very much for taking the time to help me with this! Now I guess we wait and see if it happens again at some point...
