Save file corruption

[Liorash7]

Hi there.

I'm in Act 2,

Spoiler: Spoiler Alert

had reported to Graven Ashe in Iron Hearth about ending the Edict of Storm by putting a tragedic end to his daughter and his granddaughter, in Sentinel Keep

, later I've traveled to the Mountain Spire and than to Lethian's Crossing. The game working fine, but after I reload any save game, a game state which has been save or in Mountain Spire or any other map/location after I've been in Mountain Spire, the game freezes, showing me a weird screen which I'll show later down below.

If, and a big IF, I choose not to travel to Mountain Spire, directly to Lethian's Crossing from Iron Heart, or choose to travel to any other map/location, just not Mountain Spire, and save regularly, and reload, the game seems to work fine.

It's something in Mountain Spire which disrupts game data and after that reloading is impossible.

Now I'll show you screenshots from Mountain Spire, after I reload there:

As you see, I'm Eb! The game is automatically paused, no ablity to restart, or simply to continue. Any other companion or me is missing from the screen as physichal and substantial characters in the map beside few vendors or whatever standing there near Eb, or in the menus- only data about Eb is displayed. Values are broken, quest and missives are missing, and etc.

I'm requesting your help, is just such a big bummer to play this amazing game and have this issure occuring out of nowhere.

It seems in Discussions in Steam Community I'm not the only one have that problem, related or maybe not related to the Mountain Spire map.

Help will be much appreciated.

Hi there @Liorash7 ,

I'm sorry to hear you're having this issue. In order to look in to what's causing it and how to fix it, could you post some save files from before and after the corrupted state occurs? On Windows, the save files for Tyranny can be found at C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\Tyranny. If you name your save in-game, that same text will be in the file name so it will be easy to find.

Also, if you could send a copy of your output log after loading one of the corrupted saves, that would be extremely helpful. To find the output log, go to your Steam library folder and navigate to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Tyranny\Tyranny_Data\output_log.txt

Thanks for your patience!

Here the save games and the ouput log you've asked:

Hi @Liorash7 !

Thanks so much for the files. I've passed them along to the dev team and hopefully we can figure out a solution.

In the meantime, could you let us know if you had used any console commands during this playthrough? Additionally, is there any chance that there was a time when two instances of the game were running at the same time on one computer? Answers to those questions could help our programmers narrow down what could be causing the issue.

Thanks again!

Yep, I've used these console commands: addallcompanions, additem money_01_ir X, the one which changes an ability like lore and subterfuge for example(only used for lore).

For the second question, no.

Thanks for the response!

 

[Liorash7]

Bump

Any status?

Thanks

Hi @Liorash7 ,

After taking a closer look at the saves you provided, it appears that the issues are due to having multiple copies of the same companion recruited (due to using 'AddAllCompanions' after some companions were already added). Unfortunately, we are not able to fully support saves after console commands are used, since they can alter the game in such unexpected ways. Our team is still checking into it, but I'm sorry to say that it appears that this is something we may be unable to address.

Yeah it seems I have two Verses, no way to reverse that?

For example is there a way to kill a companion permanently through console?
I'm trying through combat but after a permanent death a new Verse is spawning up.

This is the same issue I am having even the same with Eb being the only party member, everything paused, etc. In addition to this all my old saves seem to be corrupted as well. I have a save in Vendrians Well for example and in it the only party member is Lantry, but everything is paused just like the Spire save.

I have never used a console command. Can someone please look at my save and let me know if there is anyway to fix this?

 

[Davh]

I am in a similar state in my game. I've never used any console commands or the like. I posted it in a thread before I knew this one existed here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/corrupted-save-files.998257/

Thanks,

Dav

Can't wait to start playing again in this amazing game!!!

[Kragg]

Also eagerly waiting a reply. If there is anything I can do or provide to help move this along please let me know.

 

[Liorash7]

News any?

 

[Obsidian_Taylor]

Hi everyone,
Our team is still looking into this issue, and unfortunately we don't have any news at this time. I'll be sure to post updates as soon as we have more information.
Thanks for your patience!

[Kragg]

Taylor. Thanks for the response at least. I had a great time playing so far and if the save can't be restored I understand, but I just want to know what to do to avoid this issue if I have to restart.

Same here. Didnt use any console commands, it all started when i tried to pick up baric, but got 3 crew members instead. Thean i was unable to change any party members, when i reloaded the save file i've got the same issue as the topicstarter

 

[Elethre]

I have the exact same problem. Found an older save that was not corrupted and loaded that, but soon the error occured again. Now all my saves are corrupted. Now i get only a black screen or an empty map after loading

 

[Wil MaX]

Great. At first i was able to load an earlier save to continue playing, died once, and after loading got this crap again, black screen, default portrit and game paused. So, i bouhgt the game not to be able even to finish it? Now all of my save files are corrupted!
