Title: Failed to load map
Post by: Pretendant on January 01, 2017, 03:17:34 PM
This message appears when I try to load my game. I was playing just fine it just won't load the game anymore. I can start a new game just fine or load old saves from the same map. I don't know what happened that could have caused that...

The log is REALLY long I don't know if it is normal.

The save is 676KB so I can't upload it here
Here's a linx with the files (2saves : one that does work (an old one) and the one which is bugged + the output log)

Thank you for your time!

Thank you for the log and save file(s). They really save time when it comes to diagnosing problems.

As I went to load your save file I noticed you were using mods (and haven't got time right now to track them all down to load your save), so have you made sure that all your mods are 100% up to date?

And moving this to mod bugs (as that seem to be the most likely cause right now).

Well I tried de-activating all of them and map wouldn't load (seems reasonable) but I can load the map just fine from an earlier save. With the same mods thats why I thought it wasn't coming from the mods

Hhhmmmm, that's a good point. Maybe there was an error during saving that was unrelated to using mods.

Did you get any sort of error message when the game was saving that particular (broken) save game? Also, I assume you continued playing this game from an earlier save. In which case has this problem reoccurred with any future saves since then?

I'll leave this in mod bugs for now though, as Tynan generally prefers any issues that might be mod related in some way to be kept out of the main bug thread. Plus it might be a one off bug that occurred during saving, and caused by something unrelated. But if you have, or do, encounter the same problem again then that would be good to know about, and if you can find a way to reliably reproduce this error then that would be even better (as then it can likely be determined whether this is a mod or base game issue).

I didn't played that again (the earlier save is really much earlier and it felt too much to do it again). I'm pretty sure I was able to load the game even before (I tend to savescum a lot) although I'm not 100% sure. I have like 7-8saves that I can't load anymore (the latest is from the 27th december so I'm pretty sure I was able to load this one earlier.

I had no error message when I saved those games. I'd say it came from either me loading the same game (and map) too many time, that or some mod bug which messed up my game. I'll post again if that happen again.

Did you try to download the game and load the map yourself? Maybe you'll see something if you got the time,

My game was doing the same as well (Saves worked until a few weeks passed).

I turned a bunch of mods off and I've been pasted my first year without breaking the save.

I tested yours. The only connection I could find between our broken saves is that the Trading Spot mod.
Might need to test that out some.

EDIT:

Yep. It's the Trading Spot mod. After manually removing it from the save file they both worked again.

Wow thank you. How do I locate it in the save file and delete it only?
