@real lance did as far as i could understand the backup, but the game is still saying my save is broken. It's not a offline game i'm playing on server.

real lance

hello!

#

i need to understand if you are having isseus with saves on you client (i.e. you've lost your character or your offline world), or you are having issues with the save on your server (the server world got lost)

#

or something else?

First the client because the game isn't starting and i'm getting this screen.

#

I also already did delete the SaveProfiles folder, started a new game. Closed the game copied over the backup and started the game. Everything with cloudsave off.

real lance
#

but you've lost your progress?

#

have you tried clicking that confirm button?

#

it says that it is a world that has been corrupted for some reason, but you say that you are playing on a server. so the world save should not be a big issue

#

No, i didn't confirm that. I'll try that. Give me a minute.

#

After confirm, the game loaded it fine, just waiting for the server to show up in the game.

after the update this is how the save system work:

Backup/Autosave System Operation

  • The game creates an autosave every X minutes for any databases that have been modified.
    • This backup is placed into the folder <db_root>/RocksDB_v2_Backups/<data_base_type>/<data_base_id>/
  • The game also creates a backup upon exiting the game.
  • The backup is packed into a .zip archive and stored at <db_root>/RocksDB_v2_Backups/<data_base_type>/<data_base_id>/
  • Each backup filename contains the <data_base_id>, the game version on which the backup was created, and its creation time in UTC.
  • The most recent backup is marked with a _Latest suffix.
  • The absence of a _Latest file is considered a critical error in the save system.

Loading Saves

  • At startup, the game sequentially loads the saved states of databases from backups — first the account, then characters, and finally worlds.
  • To do this, it checks the folder <db_root>/RocksDB_v2_Backups for the most recent save of each database marked with _Latest.
  • If an archive is found, the game loads the database from that archive, overwriting the contents of <db_root>/RocksDB_v2/<data_base_type>/<data_base_id>/
  • If the _Latest archive is missing or contains errors, a backup recovery process is started.
  • The game searches for the newest backup for that database, verifies its integrity, and prompts the player in a special window to confirm restoration from that backup.
  • A backup that contains an error is marked with the prefix Broken-
  • If no functional backups are found, the world, character, or account is considered permanently lost
#

so look at /RocksDB_v2_Backups for _Latest archive of waht eve you need to change

Ah i see that actually pretty clever, good system. So after another restart of the server everything is up and running and looking good. So kind of wasted your time for nothing, but better safe than sorry. Thank you.
