_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 hi, my first post:) yesterday i was reading a thread about playing in windowed mode/full screen. i then liked the thought of playing in windowed mode, so i tried it. but when i tried to load one of my games it wouldnt load, saying 'the save game could not be loaded'. so i thought this might be something due to the fact i had changed to windowed mode. so i went back to full screen(deleting the bit that you have to add on to make it windwowed mode), but for some reason it will still not work. i have tried loading another game and that loaded perfect on both. but this one(which is my best game ever on FM's, and has lasted until 2013 at the moment) will not load. does anyone know why, or can tell me how to fix it(preferably so i can play in windowed mode, but if not full-screen will do) thanks. -_- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 No, I couldn't see that having anything to do with windowed mode. Have you installed the 8.0.2 patch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark wilson27 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Not sure how you can fix it, but in future try and save the game on two different saves, so you at least have a abck up, cos I lost an old story to this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 no i havent installed the patch, still on the original, and i think it must be something to do with this(thanks for your reply though), because i have been playing this game for months, and it has never done this once before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I am not sure installing the patch would fix it as other games do load, that saved game file could be corrupt. Do you use rolling autosave or have a back up of that save? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 rolling autosave i think, but once before something happened(i can't remember what, but some of the game was lost), and it had 'NAME OF THE GAME(backup)' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Did the FM close or crash when the game was saving as then that most certainly means that save is corrupt and can't be used I'm afraid? If you have a back-up then that will probably load. Try loading that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 i dont have a back-up and no fm didnt crash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 How did you lose some of the game, then? Also you said there was a file NAME OF THE GAME (backup). That is a back up. And if you are using rolling autosave then there will be back ups albeit you might lose some of the game depending how often you have autosave enabled for.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 the auto save interval is set to every month but it dosent show a backup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 If it is on rolling autosave then there will be back-ups. You will have saved games with the same filename except with v2 and v3 after it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
