Save Disappeared

[Waviest]

Hey guys,

I'm having an issue where my Save Game isn't showing up on my available Loads that I can boot up when I launch the game. I've looked into the matter briefly and found someone else who had the error prior to me, it appears that my "SaveInfo.txt" is completely empty when I go into my Save folder.

I will attach my save in a zip file, maybe Interkarma will see this and help me out?

Best Regards,

Waviest

Hi Waviest,

Well, there's enough redundancy between that file and the others that it's possible to guess what it contained (except the exact name of the saved game, but it's not a big deal to make up one), so here's my best guess.

Saving could probably be hardened a bit, even if issues are rare. Some hardening could have a slight performance impact too.
It will always be a good idea to keep several saves in Daggerfall, and it can also be a good idea to make backups.

Hey, welcome to the forums.

Something has interrupted the save process. Fortunately only SaveInfo.txt appears to be affected. Copy-paste the following into SaveInfo.txt and save it again, and you should be able to load your save. I was able to load your save after doing this.

Code: Select all

{
    "saveVersion": 1,
    "saveName": "Recovered Save",
    "characterName": "Emmett",
    "dateAndTime": {
        "gameTime": 12598182731,
        "realTime": 637324884119133716,
        "$version": "v1"
    },
    "dfuVersion": "0.10.24",
    "$version": "v1"
}

Also, based on your screenshot with the old-style stretchy SDF text, this save appears to be from a very old version of Daggerfall Unity.

If you haven't already, please upgrade to 0.10.24 before resuming play. DFU has over a year of bug fixes and other refinements since the last version of the game with that stretched font.
