Corrupt Ironman Save

[AdmiralJohnDog]

Faced a problem with corrupt save when the electricity got shot down, is that possible to restore it?

I dont get achievments on this save as i play with mods (russian localisation, bigger interface and some portraits) and i play ironman for the sole purpose of challenge it provides and it would be sad to lose all the progress.

Thanks!

It is not, I am sorry, for two reasons:

- Ironman saves are encrypted and so cannot be edited in any way

- corrupted computer files are, well, corrupt! Uncorrupting them is like unscrambling an egg, just not possible


I am sorry this happened to you! As our Ironman regime uses only one save file by definition, there's not much you can do to protect yourself from this kind of thing except to make regular copies of the save game, to restore to if you have more such power problems.
