Error loading save game

[JanusTalaiini]

When I try to load a saved game, I get a "Failure to uncompress game data" error. Any idea what causes this?

What version are you using? That happens if you edit the files.

A New Dawn, 1.55. It's odd, because I was able to reload the autosave from the very beginning, but not ones later on.

I changed to playing the Orion custom map (was playing a pangea random map before), and haven't had the issue so far. Crossing my fingers!

That is a known bug in that version. Afforess has fixed it in the beta version.

Short Explanation:

Firaxis caused it.

Long Explanation:

Saving fails rarely in the official AND 1.55 due to unforeseen circumstances. Particularly, units that were not part of any unit_combat were never meant to be given a . However, there are units in RoM that do have no unit combat and a strength, for example, the trade caravan. This caused the game to have a buffer under-run and fail to save the bit stream properly. A friendly programmer jumped on board and caught this, gave me the fix, and it appears AND 1.60beta is 100% stable.

Ahh, I see. Well, guess I'll have to grab the beta then!

Thanks for the explanation. Great mod, by the way! All the new buildings and resources and tactics make the builder in me leap for joy.
