This is just this one saved game, is that right? Others or new games work okay for you?

Any mods in use here?

Mods used are several from Silva and Choggi's, but trying to load without them gives the same exact result.

This isn't the first time, saved games over around 250 sols stop loading, this is at least the second time it happens.
Any save under that threshold from any gameplay loads perfectly.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever played that long. Do you have a save file showing this that has no mods in use?

 

[Mihzvol Wuriar]

Not currently, I started with these mods because the last game started doing the same thing, around the same time, so I deleted all old files, I had a lot of mods and removed around 50% of them for this new game, I left only Silva's and Choggi's.

I'm pretty sure this is not caused by their mods, which are of course excellent and well-tested. Nevertheless I cannot escalate save game files that have mods in use. If and when you do see this in an unmodded game, please attach it here!

 

[Mihzvol Wuriar]

Yes, I agree, before this, I used a lot of other mods, and had the problem, so I thought if I leave only these two modders, it would either eliminate the problem, or they wouldn't be the issue at all.

Anyway, I'm gonna try to get a clean save from them, I think I can load an earlier save without mods.

Hey, sorry for the delay, I had to move to a new place and it took over a month of my time to get everything up.

So, here are a save that I was able to load with and without any mods, just 3 sols earlier of a save that don't load.

I also uninstalled the game, deleted the whole game folder, cleaned everything I could, reinstalled, tried to load later the saves, crash, tried to load this one with mods, worked, removed all mods, also worked, so I saved without any mods.
Clearly, isn't them, as you predicted, but I also can't imagine what could be, maybe the lakes, I spammed a lot of lakes lol...

 

[AndrewT]

Perhaps I've misread you but did you say that save file has no mods in use? Because it does ... !

 

[Mihzvol Wuriar]

It does?
I removed all mods and loaded the game, it loaded ok (old save) I let it play for a few seconds and made another save, it should be mod free.

I tried a few times, loading it without mods, it does load ok, no problems, mod buildings are changed to a rotating square., so should I delete all buildings?

 

[AndrewT]

Yes, if a save has ever had mods used in it that is recorded in the save. Loading that save with no mods does not remove what effects they have already had on the save file.

When I go to load that save it puts up a warning and lists IIRC 3 mods missing - does it not do that for you?

 

[Mihzvol Wuriar]

Yes it does, but I click the option "load anyway" and it loads ok, just with the mod buildings missing.
Everything else works fine with the save.

Mods can leave stuff in the savefile itself, just removing the mod won't remove what it does/did (sometimes, but not always). If you've only got three mods I'll take a look.
