Hello all,

I was playing today and I realized something odd. That there was only a '-' sign instead of counstruction turns and then i realized i couldnt move my fleets. So I exit the game and open it again. Now none of my save files are working even the autosaves. It just freezes while loading. 

Please help me that was my 5 hour campaign.

Having same problem clearly an issue with autosaves not loading, was starting to think I was the only one having this issue.

Same story here! Very annoying! i had it also happen when i was getting into victory score screen

  Hello there,

It's not just the autosaves, all the save files I have(Including my own saves) are freezing while loading them. Music keeps playing on background but it never loads.

I posted my reply on steam forums but I am having the same issue as well. My latest save was at turn 214 and was able to load the game at 103 but saved games beyond that are all broken. Hopefully this will be fixed, that's over 100 turns worth of work I have to redo and I'm really not in the mood to do that.

We are not hearing from folk who are playing long games 200 turn plus.  Multi players are probably finishing the game in one session so saves are not an issue.  I only play against AI on large maps over many sessions and I am yet to be able to finish a single game since update due to saves becoming unloadable or a node doing some really strange things like not being able to split up fleets, or disband them.  Freezing on node so you have to click on another system to free it up.  Has anyone managed to playtest this game going over 500 turns, and multiple sessions?

Ok

It just happened again, on my new game which I proceed to turn 150s and after today's update I tried to get in my save file. It froze again. I just lost all my excitement for the game. It is frustruating. How the hell am I suppose to proceed in game while it does not opens my save files.

I seriously dont wanna open another campaign. I hoped a dev would say something about it but that didnt happen too.

Im heartbroken at the least.

It does sound like it is based on number of turns. I was able to load my game the other day around turn 80ish, but now I'm at turn 128 and I can't load it anymore (autosaves included). I did read on the steam forum that there is a chance for longer games to become corrupted, but I'll try some more troubleshooting again after work. Maybe this new hotfix fixed it.

I had the new one after the Hotfix. My first one was 68 this one is 158. I tried everything on Steam base. Verified game cache looked for the missing files etc. Its just not working.

I don't think it has anything to do with Steam.  The game seems to have a problem parsing the save files.  Only the Dev's can fix this, I am a little surprised that we have had no feedback on such an important issue.  This game has to play 600 to 1000 turns at least for single player games on large maps on supremacy and conquest victory conditions.

Exactly and when it starts feel really good, I cant play that campaign anymore. I was actually waiting for a dev to say something because its marketed as community friendly and this is not just a visual glitch or a typo. I cant play my damn game. I stopped opening new capaigns because there is no point to it. Everyday Im checking for replies but it is just a dissappointment.

I can Imagine that the Dev's are very busy.  They will get around to fixing this, although looking at the forum most of the fixes are secondary if the game will not play as a single player game.  It's like choosing a paintjob on a new car when the engine is not working.  I just hope they take there time in getting this ready as a finished game that plays as intended.  We have seen way to many big game releases fail at launch through premature release.  Bioware has lost millions in lost revenue and reputation due to marketing pressure and hype.  Amplitude beware, this is a great product so make sure it is the best it can be and it works.

I am also having the same issues of corrupted saves. Now occuring around turn 165. (I have many many hours invested, I played Methodically)

I, along with others I'm sure, would really appreciate a reply from the Dev Team. I know it's Early Access still (although we are now less than 4 weeks out from launch) however I would imagine this would be a high priority issue, it's not a visual bug or typo, you literally can't play a 4x game without being able to save progression.

Heres to hoping for a reply, it's a wonderful game, I fully endorse and support it to everyone. (I have a very well rated review for it on Steam)

Hello everyone,

If you still have saves that you are unable to load, please upload them if you haven't already!

I'll be collecting a bunch of saves to pass them on to the rest of the team for analysis.

If you have been posting in multiple thread, just post your save in only one, we are going to collect them all anyway and we don't really need duplicate saves

Thank you for your help!
