[Fixed 1.03][Bug 1.02] Crash on Load Save

Hi Cliff

this savegame 1drv.ms/u/s!Aqt01UfokMBglSp2nTRlgHtFnkEA and its autosaved cousin seems to crash the game on load

unlike the old games which were saved where the game crashed during the save and produced a corrupt file this one looks to be entirely complete (again its my superlarge factory churning out a car every 3.5 seconds or so)

The game crashes with no error in its own logs and windows reports this

Ok…I know what this is and am working on a fix for 1.03. if its any help, when that patch is released (probably not for a few days) I suspect this save will load in fine.

Ok I fixed it and…wow thats quite a cool factory :smiley:

Also getting a crash on a load save, looks to be same fault offset and exception code - I can provide the save if needed, but I’m assuming it’s the same bug.

I got this error message when I tried to load a saved game in 1.02: “missing tag: targ_x:…\src\SIM_LoadGame.cpp 1197”

Updated to 1.03 and now the error message say this: “missing tag: targ_x:…\src\SIM_LoadGame.cpp 1216”
Another attempt gave me this: “missing tag: hours:…\src\SIM_LoadGame.cpp 1216”

In all three cases the game crash.

A missing tag error essentially means a corrupted save game I’m afraid. A bug relating to autosave managed to do this until the latest patch. Those games should be created from 1.03 onwards…

Oh, crap. I was really happy with my factory…
