WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?!

I was trying to load one of my saved IGC games, but when I went to load it, I couldn't pick my country. In fact, no countries showed up.
When I went to look at the saved game, the size went from 1900kb to 0kb!

What's happening?!

I guess it got corrupted, sadly

 

[unmerged(2377)]

But how did it get corrupted? It's happened several dozen times with the IGC.

Virus

This is very interesting AAR, can you continue?

 

[unmerged(2377)]

I'm just pissed because it ruined my AAR of France.

How's there a virus?

 

[BiB]

Feck knows how it happens.

You must be happy. Now you can start again, and experienced as you are, unify the world with France.

Doubt its a virus.. its a confirmed bug for some people. Might be fixed in 1.09 though, who knows?

To then crash again halfway thru ...

 

[unmerged(2377)]

I've given up on France. I'm trying to create a Greater German Reich.

I hope it doesn't crash this time

 

[unmerged(3459)]

Actually, from what I hear it crashes twice.

LOL!

Germany vs The Rest of the World 0 - 2...

I can see Dan Cooks' AAR now...

I played...
It crashed...
I shot my computer!

Bad luck with the corruption, happens to me sometimes too. Don't know of anything that can be done except to fervently pray it doesn't happen again. Also, if you do shoot your computer, be sure to target the actual computer, not the screen.

Dear Dan Cook

Well, to your crash....

try to open a former file of that game(I hope you looked in your savegames before), and open the "crash file"(savegame files end with .eug); now on top of file there are the playable nations, now copy the one you play with(or all as you like) into the "crash file"
maby it works


excuse my english

I've had this bug a gajillion times myself, here's he solution:
1) take saved games folder
2) empty into backup folder on desktop.
3) copy latest uncorrupted game file back into the game
4) make as much free space on the hard drive as possible
5) start playing.
I did that, and never had a crash since. Some of the stages may be unnescessary, but clearing the saved game folder definitely seems important.
I hope it works for you!
