#Save corruption

yeah, the folder with the whole number string in tle last spell>save>steam yes?
Yes please π You can zip it and if it doesn't fit maybe drive or wetransfer would be great
Could you try to explain what happened with the most details possible as well please ?
I see your computer crashed (I guess blue screen). That would be the first reason of the save being corrupted. What's weird here is that the backup didn't work. We'll try to figure out why
full freeze crash, sound working no bsod, all windows black.
i've been having that issue for a bit which happens (i believe) because my gpu runs out of vram. some issue with firefox not releasing it after eating it up, i think youtube videos or random images i'm not entirely sure
so when i'm close to maxed and boot a game that puts me over it just stops outputting video. usually resets itself but sometimes not
which is what happened when i started up the last spell today π
Alright, did you play on a previous version of the game before that or did you play several sessions since 1.0 ?
this was a pre existing save before the latest patch, tho i'm not sure quite how old
just the one session since 1.0
I'll be honest there's no hope for recovery π, all the files are corrupted, including backups.
I'll see if there is an old version still working from the broken folder, but you'd lose progress in all cases.
We can give you a save though, so you don't have to grind all the meta and maps, where were you at in the game ?
I'm so sorry, hopefully the files will help us investigate the issue and we'll do our best so it doesn't affect anyone else π
no worries bro, i knew i had this issue and didn't do the thing i knew i shoulda done, my own fault π
plus i was thinking i should fresh start for 1.0 and experience the whole thing as intended, but didn't have the balls to pull the trigger
appreciate the look though, have a good day
This is not on you, the saves should be robust enough to survive after a crash, that's precisely why we did backup files in the first place π€¦ββοΈ
Thanks for taking it that way, I'll do my best figuring this one out
we all wear seatbelts but still better to avoid crashing if you can help it, and i could in fact help it π
@hollow dragon Can I bother you one last time and ask for your dump files ? You can find them there : %Appdata%/../Local/CrashDumps
qmlrednerer.exe?
Is it dated to today ?
aye
I guess the most recent one should be the one
I would have thought Unity or TheLastSpell but since it's linked to your GPU who knows
Hello, my PC turned off due to a power outage while I was playing and the progress of 22 hours of play was deleted. I need a solution
Hi ! Sorry for your issue. Not sure something can be done about it but Matthieu might take a look at your saves tomorrow.
You can find them here :
%Appdata%/../LocalLow/Ishtar Games/The Last Spell/Save/Steam
(inside the numbered folder, it's your SteamID, then Profile1)
You can send the whole folder as an archive, it might be easier that way.
where to send it?
Hey, thanks for the save in dm, and sorry this happened to you π
Unfortunately, same as Godofal, there's no way to recover the files, as they've been corrupted by windows because of the crash βΉοΈ
We have a fix planned to make the saves more robust, but to help you enjoy the game, we can find a save close to where you were at if you'd like.
