Saving/loading problems

Age of Empires II: DE II - Discussion
1

With the new patch (released yesterday), I’ve experienced significant problems with saving and loading. Often, the game would not save at all, and other times, the saves get corupted and a game freezes when loading them. Am I the only one or does anyone else experience the same thing?

I’ve had issues with one of my scenario files vanishing.

Oh yeah, I checked out the integrity of the files before making this post, just in case something happened in my case. But all my files were valid.

If I may ask you for a favor, would you be so kind to try loading the attached broken save, and if it does not work, try loading the working save, play for 3 minutes, then save again and load that new save - if it gets broken for you, too.

Would confirm that it’s not an issue on my end

I can’t. It’s invisible.

Where did you place the save files?

~steamlocation~\userdata\~id~\813780\remote

or

C:\Users\~user~\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\~id~\savegame ?

the former one is used for the cloud, the latter one is where you have to place it.

I clicked “Save”. Then turned the game off and it’s gone.

But it still exists if I go into my computer’s files. In fact I transferred it to someone else, and it’s invisible to them too.

that’s weird. Thanks for trying! I’ll try playing the scenario again, and then another one, to see if it’s the patch problem, if the game got randomly corrupted when I played it, or if it’s a scenario problem. Thanks!

This should have been posted in the [Bug] section of the forum.

I think it is more or less the problem I mentionned here.

This was just a question though, I did create a separate bug to be honest:) Though the bug section is so spammed, that the devs will often ignore these reports…even though it takes moments to read them. Also, thanks a lot for that bug, I missed it yesterday…

Anyway I’m glad I’m not the only one…so you’re saying that when the 10 minutes pass, you’re able to save and load again? Because I always make saves in order not to defeat my last enemy without wiping off every other structure off the map beforehand 11
