Saves not working

[kitai2011]

So i loaded this game again after a few months due to ac rubicon, and saves dont work? I played till mission 5 then went for dinner. Returned and everything reset, I had manual saves after every mission and when i tried all they were all reset to mission 1.

[gintoki_madao]

Hi, sorry it has happened to you.
Saves are visible on the saves list, but when you load them you have only the first mission unlocked and items lost?
Were the saves working ok a few months ago?
First thing I would try is to run the game as admin, and add the game to antivirus white list - probably something is preventing the game from creating/editing save files

[kitai2011]

Well i tried admin mode, put the mks exe on white list, put the whole steam app mks folder on white list, put the save folder on white list and nothing works, still have only mission 1 with default hanger loadouts. Wierd thing is the saves show correct date and time saved but no diff. As for whether it was working before i think it was, i made it to mission 20 and ran raids for a bit before uninstalling. Oh well it was fun while it lasted, hopefully this will fix itself when i come back in a few years lol

[gintoki_madao]

Sorry again it has happened to you - I would also try to remove all .es3 files from the saves folder than trying to save the game again - perhaps some data was corrupted and is preventing from loading the file.
I can also try getting a save file from someone with all of the missions unlocked, please PM me if you would like me to do that.

Could you explain it in more detail, also would you terribly mind posting your pc specs?

It might help the dev with the trouble shooting.



He's always tried to help us out when he can but he is just a single dev working on this game.




I was able to fire up and load my old save just fine, but i'm windows 10 pro, gpu is a gtx 1050ti, i7 7700k processor.(so my hardware and OS are old but I find them reliable for the gaming I do. (i tend to play more older titles than the new stuff coming out).

If your hardware and OS are newer you might need to trouble shoot it a bit to get it to work. There's been a few players on here who have tried to help with trouble shooting on and off.

[Moodydata]

idk if player.logs file in this situation would come in handy or not, might be worth a shot

[gintoki_madao]

I will do everything I can to resolove this issue before the DLC and new patch comes out.

If anyone would like to help, please send me Player.log from this directory C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\MKS\Mecha Knights
Just after you had a problem loading a save or starting a new game

This seems to be a rare problem, so any log file would help a lot

Temporary solution, if you cant start a new game would be to remove .es3 from the directory above - though this will reset your progress. Please let me know if it helps

[kitai2011]

so i'm back after seeing the cloud save update and still cant do any saves... now its wierder, i have a save file in the folder but its not showing up in game

Heres my player log

[gintoki_madao]

Would it be possible for you to send me your .es3 files on my discord if thats not too much trouble? http://discord.gg/anGWFaS my nick is gintoki_madao
That would help a lot, I could load your save file and debug the crash in Unity.

There seems to be a problem with the autosave file - HangarAutoSave.es3
Do you perhaps have manual saves that you could try to load? In that case you could remove HangarAutoSave.es3 and then load maunal save slot.

Sorry for the trouble, there seems to be a problem with data corruption in the plugin I use to create/edit save files. I will do my best to fix this in the DLC patch.

[kitai2011]

Alright sent to your discord, as for the delete and load manual saves it dosent work, once i quit and return the manual save returns to only having mission 1 and no new equips

[gintoki_madao]

I decrypted the save file and it seems that saving process was corrupted and not all of the data needed was saved.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention - I want to add Saves backup folder in the DLC patch that will store all of saves you make, they are only 20kb each so there shouldnt be problem with storing them. So in case of data corruption like that you will be able to get your previous save file.

Alright cool, glad you could find out what was wrong, looking forward to the dlc, great work so far
