My computer crashed earlier today while playing PL. This was not the fault of PL, I’ve been having issues with my system lately. But, now when I try to load or save a game in PL, I am getting the attached error.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no success.
Hmmm, your autosave is corrupt so when trying to load a game it will be checked for game data and the game crashes because of this file.
As soon as you delete the autosave.xml everything should be fine for the moment.
Your other savegame (.xml) is okay so not everything is lost.
I also assume that the game probably crashed during the autosave and thereby corrupted the autosave. Getting rid of the autosave should fix the issue in the meantime.
OKay, that makes sense. It would be nice to see a better error message or automatic recovery from this type of error in the future.
As far as getting back my game, when I rename the autosave to autosave.xml.old I now have no saved games when I click load. Have I done something wrong?
