| Summary | 0023918: Old Save Deserialization | ||||
| Description | All saves I have from a campaign prior to the Spire DLC are getting Deserialization errors and cannot be loaded. This is the only campaign I have that is affected - up until recently I could still access them. Attached is one example save. | ||||

Ah, thank you for this! I have been wondering about compatibility with certain older saves, so this should be a help. |
|

Thanks! * It turns out that in some older savegames, we already had the wrong data types on certain other objects, such as having DoomData on certain ships. ** We fixed this in later versions of the game and had them become more strict with how they are loading the related data in order to now allow for this sort of wrong data to persist, but in turn this made some older savegames (from the 1.3x timeframe and prior) unreadable. ** For those older savegames, we've now relaxed the restrictions to allow for the bad data to be read in, and it will throw a warning message as you load those saves but should still actually get them open properly (the example save that we have now loads fully). |

Yay! |
|
|
Also this: * Further updates: after a savegame with old bad data is loaded in, it now discards that old bad data after it loads it. This has no effect on gameplay, it was data that wasn't being used anyhow. But this does make it so that if you save it in a newer version of the game and then try to load the NEW save, you aren't just right back in the same boat with it not loading the save because of that bad data. Cheers! |

I request this be reopened; none of the saves in this campaign are loading on my end including the uploaded one, in v. 2.617. I'm attaching what happens, after the game hangs for about 10-15 seconds. |

Never mind, it did let me in it just takes a long time to load the saves, probably because it's sorting through the errors. We're good here. |
