Saved Game Doesn't Work Under New Patch

[Enkidu Warrior]

I just installed the new patch and now the game crashes immediately when I try to load my saved game. I can start a game normally but my old saved game seems to be dead. Is there anything I can do to salvage it?

No, only Firaxis can do something.

Out of interest: do you have the Deluxe Version with Babylon?
Because then it's known and they are working at the problem.

Hey guys,

As some of you already know, today’s 1.0.0.62 patch introduced an incompatibility with save games created on older versions of the game for those of you who have the Digital Deluxe edition of Civilization V.

We have identified the issue and are currently working on a hotfix. Unfortunately, this fix will not be ready for release by the end of the day today. I don’t have any specific ETA for the hotfix, but I am sure that it will not release before Monday.

The good news is that the fix will allow you to load your old saves once it is released, so if you hang on to those saves you will be able to continue them soon.

We’re really truly sorry for the inconvenience, and I will keep you updated if anything changes or when I get a firm ETA.

Also note that this only applies to the Digital Deluxe edition of the game. Players of the Standard edition should be able to load their old saves just fine.

I do indeed have the deluxe version. Can you link me to the problem in question?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm having the same problem, but no Deluxe Version here. Although, when I start the game, I have the option to "explore deluxe soundtrack" in addition to dx9/dx10...

I dont have the delux version, just the store bought vanilla CIV 5 version, and the game works fine, but when I try to load a saved game it just crashes!! out of the fire into the frying pan

Does the soundtrack option work?

Any savegame, or only .20 savegames?

Standard edition....saved game crashes on loading screen post patch...

I have Deluxe edition and have the same problem with my old save game. Starting a new one is fine. Good to know it's a known issue.

For the non deluxe versions: Try to delete everything in My Documents\My Games\Civ5\Cache and try it again.

It doesn't work. I still get a run time error when loading a saved game. Can't get pass turn 120 with out it freezing my pc. When I try to reload via auto-save, I get a run time error. Never got run time errors before the patch. The game is now completely unplayable. I want my freaking money back! This is unacceptable! This is the kind of crap that pushes people to pirating games. If I had pirated this, I would not be upset by this cluster f*$#. But, I didn't, I spent my hard earned money for this.

That isn't a patch problem. That sounds like another technical problem.

and you came to this conclusion why?

In fact: We can't say if it's a problem with the patch or not, but it's a lot more probable that the patch would have directly influenced it, and not after some time.
