How old is the restore file? As soon as a patch comes out for AoE2DE, old saved games from previous builds/versions of the game probably won’t load.

They haven’t supported the loading of saved games very well for a decade or more

For example: Save game today. Patch comes out tomorrow. The saved game probably won’t be restorable after patch.
