Failure to Decompress Data with Autosaves

[Afforess]

I've never seen this until now, I can not load my auto-saves. If I save the game regularly, and reload it later, it works just fine. However, if I try to reload an auto-save, I get a "Failure to Decompress Data" error, and CTD. I know that the error means my game files have changed in some way, but that doesn't make any sense. I haven't touched them...

Has anyone else experienced this?

Nope, I have loaded from an autosave a couple of times and it has been fine

I will see if I have this problem now. I have not tried loading an autosave with 2.8 yet.

Yes, I have a few days ago. Had a long session and thought it would autosave and that would be it if a ctd comes. Well, it came, I tried load autosave,... you know the story. I then reinstalled RoM, did a few tests duel size, save, reload, earth map save, reload. I worked again. I now saved regularly and it works (no CTD yet and I come in renaissance now, lets see what happens, wish me luck!). We must have a telepathic connection, experiencing the same bugs and stuff, lol.

Hadn't touched the files either, exept the phyton hotfix I added before mentioned session, as zap said it wouldn't be gamechanging. I then contemplated that it might interact with your mod somehow and thus
haven't installed the phyton fix this time like before when the error occured, only 2.8 full, your beta8 and your posted gamecore.dll from Beta-testers-thread.

My autosaves are loading fine.

Are you using the autosaves that the new BUGmod created? I got that error when using it so I shut that off. I just use the regular autosaves that are set from the game itself. That's the only thing I can come up with at the moment.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet?

I've been getting it and I don't want to give up my game!

I've had it with autosaves, and just now with a normal save. Seems like for some reason the save gets corrupted somehow, only thing you can do is go back to an earlier save that works

Ok, so apparently every semi-recent save has become corrupted... there goes my game :/

I got one idea that might be the cause but according to python documentation it really shouldn't cause this kind of problem...

In RoM python files I've used optimization

import cPickle as pickle

where there was by default

import pickle

cPickle can work 1000 times faster than pickle and this can drastically improve mod's performance and the reason why I've used it. Yesterday I noticed couple files still had the line "import pickle" so I fixed these for the next hotfix. I'm not python guru so I don't know if this could be the cause but perhaps someone could investigate it further...
