Unable to open save
My save game apparently is broken overnight. It consistently throws a checksum error. Is there something I can do to fix my save?
could you send your savegame and a screenshot of the error? also, do you have any mods?
@tobspr @EmeraldBlock Is a/ my save salvageable? Hate to loose all the hours put into the game.
Seems your save, when decompressed, has a bunch of corrupted characters - it's too much to fix manually, and I don't know much about the compression algorithm. Did you ever touch your save file or open it or something?
(Sorry about the late response, should've been clearer earlier - I was busy at the time and asked in case future me / someone else had time to investigate)
I have only opened the save through Shapez. My corruption seems related to #1388 which corrupts a save when the application crashes. And the 2 minute time gap between backup and the save itself is not enough to be of use.
The game crashed and I noticed that co-insides often with the saving process. It will turn the screen black and I have to go to Steam and click on stop to stop Shapez.

In general, this is best avoided, because after a timeout, it is just killing it like task manager (or End Program from a not responding message). If a game window is still open, it is best to click the X button or Alt-F4, and try to wait some time. During such operation, it may be running on the main thread and take longer, meaning it doesn't send the window signal to receive events and "respond" to the window manger.
