Afan Lido: For the love of…

This one will be quick. Firstly, I’d like to apologize to my fellow writers on the site. I haven’t had a chance to comment on your stories much this week, but I promise I’m reading and throughly enjoying them! With the Christmas holidays rapidly approaching, I’ve been seriously strapped for free time.

Secondly…and unhappy doesn’t even begin to describe my mood, I just got this when I tried to jump on FM for a quick match or two:

One time is painful, a second time is very suspicious. Short of having to reinstall everything, I’m not sure what could be causing this issue. I’ve uploaded the save in hopes that maybe one of you will be able to load it, save it, and send it back to me. Otherwise, I’m extremely fed up with this nonsense (I’ve tried both of the backup saves, and they’re doing the same thing)!

I’m at a genuine loss for words here (and that doesn’t happen often), and any help you guys could provide would be amazing. I even went so far as to try and open the file in a database editor (MySQL), but it just comes up as gibberish. Thanks guys. :'(

    The only thing I can think of is that you’ve installed some new software on your system, and that’s causing your game to corrupt, but tbh, I’ve no idea :(

      Not that I’m aware of, in fact I did a clean wipe of my laptop not two weeks ago. :(

    i believe if you go to documents\si\fm2012 and delete the crash dumps foler it should work

    My suggestion would be to just start all over again. Uninstall FM then reinstall and start fresh. In the end I think you will find yourself happier as the current situation is very furstrating for you and I want a story from you ASAP :)

    Stromson mate do you use any custom databases? Might want to disable them and see if there are any more problems

    Also get Steam to check your game cache and make sure everything is fine, then give your computer/laptop a virus scan too while you’re at it, just in case it’s something wrong with your computer/laptop

    Good luck with your issue, I will try and see if your save can be loaded

      Done all the Steam bits, and I’m 99.999999% sure my computer is clean. This IS the same save file I had trouble with before, just an earlier version of it, so I wonder if that’s the issue.

    Tried to download your save mate, but unfortunately i couldnt load it either :(

    I hope you get the problem solved soon, because your stories kick ass :D

      Damn, thanks for trying Jordy.

    Stromson, how far into the game were you? Whats the specs of your machine, mainly how much memory has the machine got? When you come to saving your game do you have much running in the background, whats the memory usuage in the task manager showing when playing the game?

    I seem to recall a similar problem on either SI or Dugout I think it was where save games where not saving correctly due to memory problems.

    Also tried to open that game and no joy. As soon as I clicked to load the game the error message came up instantly, assume that was the same for everyone else.

      It’s a fairly standard specced laptop. Dell XPS 15 with Windows 7 Ultimate, 2nd Gen Core i5, 4GB of RAM, 750 GB hard drive, NVIDIA GTM 540, that kinda thing. Nothing usually open in the background beyond Spotify and a web browser, and I’ve never come close to maxing out the RAM.

      Only thing I can think of is that this is essentially the same save as the first crash, just from a much earlier date.

        Def nothing wrong with those specs. Has to be some corruption in the database of that file especially as it has happened previously. May have to put this one in the bin and start again, can understand your frustration mate losing a saved game on anything is a pain in the backside

    That is shame mate, hate it when these things happen. Thankfully the last major issue I had was back in FM09 I think. I wonder if its got something to do with your computer as opposed to the game? Either way I feel for you.

    Oh no… I’ll try to load that file when I get home today.

    I tried to load the game, but also got the error message. I’ve had a look internally at the file, but that doesn’t reveal much, because understandably it’s in a proprietary format, but there was nothing that looked obviously wrong, compared to my own save.

    WOW you really havent had much luck on FM12 have you! Hope you manage to get it sorted mate.

    Oh no!

    I had the same problem last year with my Coruxo game no matter what I tried it kept saying the same thing.

    I have also had some problems on this year game with it crashing so am finding myself saving more times than I usually do to be sure.

    I really hope you can resolve your troubles and are back writing soon.

    You’ve had no luck with FM this year … :( What’s your next move? Starting again or will you embark on a new journey?

    I guess it’s faster to start a new game rather than waiting to solve that. You need to start a new story fast mate. We are waiting :).
