Broken Savegames

[HahTse]

Three times I have started a new game after Capek (each time with the Tebrid Homolog) and three times I have encountered this after starting the game up again on the next day:

The first and second were Iron Man runs, so I decided to go n00b for the third time and just saving manually.

Has anyone else got this problem?

I have seen no other such reports, no, sorry.

I see these are all cloud; do local saves suffer the same problem?

 

[HahTse]

Haven't tried that yet.

Here's a zip of the save files, if anyone wants to have a look at them.

 

[AndrewT]

Please do, as that will test if the issue is a network/cloud.Steam issue, or something more local. Thanks.

I just saw that some of the saves in the zip are purely local saves (I guess those are the ones I did manually)

 

[AndrewT]

OK, so not a Steam or external issue.

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-Stellaris
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Stellaris AND Documents/Paradox/Stellaris folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Stellaris or Documents Stellaris locations, before installing again.


If that doesn't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach your Documents/Paradox/Stellaris/settings.txt.
From your Documents/Paradox/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach system.log .

I did all that and it seems to work again (both for cloud (autosaves) and local (manual) saves).

Thanks!
