[lime creek]

Extremely frustrated as this save has a combined 2k+ hours in it from like 10 people

[lime creek]

This is insanely bad design, to be honest

[harsh pike]

Yeah but i only lost a lvl3

[stable vine]

https://windrose.support/ there is some fixes here you can try to make things work again

[plucky path]

If you had direct link sure would work but the link search has nothing for me cause my files are screwed up and I am getting load screen of death cause of mutual pc issue which they said they fixed guess no and now my save is lost unless they somehow know another way.

Look in #1491867519395299508 there is a Save Editor in there. How would devs or moderators fix something on your PC though? This is the risk of buying Early Access.

[harsh pike]

I dont have acces to that server

[sturdy thistle]

It is not a server but a channel so head to id:customize to solve that. It is what I needed to do.

[timid fox]

If you havne't used any mods on your server you should be able to restore saves from backup:

#│public-test-instructions do this

[lime creek]

did you read the issue?? this is about your backup mechanism overwriting the backups

with broken data

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

FIX YOUR STUPID F K I NG moderation settings

[stable vine]

i know it's frustrating but please refrain from using insults.

when did the issue start?
have you looked at the saves you have, like are there any duplicates? because I've seen some people having issues with that. Are cloud saves on or off? if they're on, turn them off for now. Are you only playing on one device or multiple? because that causes issues as well as I've seen.

Anyone you play with or are you playing with mods? because those cause lots of problems as well.

are you making a manual backup if possible? and keep that in a separate folder so it doesn't get overwritten?

also have you tried the methods yet the other people sent you?

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1500359619845820546 (my bad diddnt read gfully this is for local saves)

[lime creek]

It's on a dedicated server. The backups are the problem. The server crashed, saved the corrupted save file, and kept automatic restarting until all the save backups were overwritten.

I disagree with "insult", i did use expletives, which i apologize for. My wife and other players are very sad about this breaking.

All the stuff I've been sent either doesn't apply (no cloud saves on a dedi server). The fix for corrupted saves talks about files i dont have, i think that's character saves?

[lime creek]

anyone able to fix my save?

[timid fox]

Hey, captains! We’re rolling out a new Steam Cloud Saves update intended to fix the issue with corrupted saves. We’ll be closely monitoring your feedback and will respond accordingly if any issues arise.

Version: 0.10.0.5.120-073042fb

Save files improvements
Implemented a new storage and backup system for save files

The game now automatically backs up all data every 10 minutes of gameplay and upon exiting

Updated the save file structure for cloud synchronization to minimize syncing issues

Broken save files no longer block the game from loading

Data Recovery UI: If the latest save file for a world or character is found to be broken at startup, a special UI window will appear. Players can either quit the game (e.g., to attempt a cloud resync) or recover data from a backup. The game will automatically offer the latest available one

Save Migration System: Implemented a system to migrate old save files (pre-version %version-number%) to the new format. In most cases, this process is seamless and invisible

Migration Conflict Handling: If the game detects old, corrupted save files that cannot be properly migrated, a notification window will appear with information about the affected files and a prompt to delete them

[lime creek]

Ok but how about DEDI SERVERS ? Did you read my post

[elfin dove]

Brother the games only 4 weeks Into EA you should expect things like this to happen tbh

I've restarted prob 4x now within the last week because of loading issues

[raw citrus]

Brother the game is currently generating revenue through sales so players rightfully expect it to be playable. EA isn't a blanket excuse for a game to become unplayable. Some bugs here and there, sure, but not something so catastrophic it ruins the playability of the game.

[elfin dove]

The game is playable

You just lose progress currently till they fox saving issues

[raw citrus]

Really? Because my game crashes to desktop when I try to load my own save. I wouldn't call that a playable game. lol

[elfin dove]

Even after a reinstall?

Thankfully it's ea then huh

[raw citrus]

Yeah, it was working fine before this morning's update.

[elfin dove]

🫡

[lime creek]

The Backup mechanism was dumb and a rookie mistake. Overwriting the backups on crash means there are no backups if it crashes x times in a row. I can acknowledge it being EA and also be frustrated with the negligence of this implementation

[elfin dove]

Yea the old implementation was pretty bad lol

Hopefully new 1 is good so I can start modding like crazy

[lime creek]

at least i can get to learning how rocksDB works now lma o

I don't know if this changes the way it works on dedi servers

[lime creek]

it doesnt. ikt just backs up over the backup. RIP my save, 15 players and hundreds of hours'

[lime creek]

if any of the devs want to try and fix my save, it's here.

[timid fox]

this save is corrupted sir, can you please send me the enteire Saved folder so I can take a look

[lime creek]

they're all identical due to the bug i am trying to bring to your attention, lol. but, a corrupted save is unrecoverable, is that correc?T

[timid fox]

corrupted save is unrecoverable, but you should have backup versions there that hsould be recoverable

if you can send me the save folder I would loveto take a loot at it and say if i can help

[lime creek]

like ive been trying to say, pardon my frustration, thisis the ENTIRE issue. your server, when it crashes, overwrites the backup with the broken version. it did that 30 times in a row and all the backups are now identical :<<

one sec grabbing the full thing

here

[fluid elk]

Has anyone had success when this process fails? I have restored from the backups and we still get stuck in the game hangup where it loads the sound but freezes at loading menu. Id rather not lose our world so looking for any other ideas

[timid fox]

I ma very sorry I misunderstood yo ufrom teh very begining sir, and yes in taht case when all 30 backups are overwritten, there's no way to recover the same now. Very sorry about that 🙁

[spark atlas]

try this #│public-test-instructions

[fluid elk]

Thank you for pointing this out; unfortunately it worked once for an initial load in but I cannot reload the world as I'm back to getting application hangups.

[spark atlas]

I’d try it again then
