skullage Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I just opened up TEW10 to carry on playing my favourite save and when I selected the game it just said "0 (Began 0) - Players yet to be assigned" I tried loading the game and a box popped up and said "This game cannot be loaded, as the control file is empty." What does this mean and is there any chance of recovering my game? I would be so annoyed if I've lost the game as it was my best/most fun game that I've played on TEW10 so far! Any help on this would be appreciated.
20LEgend Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Do you make sure to right click the TEW icon and click "Run As Administrator" everytime you open up the game. (If using vista or 7) Did you shut down TEW in the wrong way last time you played it (i.e End Processm or closing with the top right little red x rather than the X in game)
CamillePunk Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 You could also try your backup save and see if that still loads.
20LEgend Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 To solve it, go into the database and go into the save games (this in windows explorer) and find the folder with the name of your save game, see if you have back up files, if you do copy these and paste them over the files in the save game you have chisen. This will take you back to the previous Sunday. Then try and open the save game up again, it is safe in THIS CASE to ignore the corrupt data warning after you double click the save file. If this is unclear say and I will go through step by step.
skullage Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 Thanks for that backup save thing, I will try that now (hope it works!)
skullage Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 It worked! Thanks so much for the quick response
