Saves won't load

[takers2]

None of my saves will load. game goes to load screen for about 5 seconds then back to title screen. I've attempted to file a bug report on Owlcat's website but when you fill out their questionaire and attach all the data they want then hit submit it just starts spinning with a load circle. Not a computer issue as everything else works fine. I don't use any mods either. Anyone resolve a similar issue?

================================================

When you have an issue and start checking, make sure to make a general check to get faster to a possible solution:

■ Is the version you are playing the latest?

■ Are you using mods? If yes, do the issues still persist when you uninstall the mods?

■ Are the game files integrity still okay? After multiple patches there is no guarantee that some leftover files might lead to unknown issue which would usually be cured with a verification of game files.

■ Are you playing the game with combat in real time mode or turn based mode? If you are playing it in turn based mode, do the issues still persist when switching to real time mode?

■ Make sure to provide information which OS you are using. There are differences even between Windows versions which can lead to certain issues.

■ Keep your drivers up to date. You might be surprised how a corrupted file with video drivers, usb drivers, etc. could cause the game to crash. Before reinstalling the game after all files have been verified, you might want to make a clean reinstall your gfx card drivers first, as it turned out to be an uncommon yet not rare issue with crashes.

■ Send a bug report ingame by pressing ALT+B to open the reporting tool. Your save file and gaming system's specification will help the developers to identify special causes of rare issues.

Their form works fine. Have you tried a different browser?

I experienced the same issue after I moved my install folder to a new drive. The problem was that the mods I had been using hadn't carried over to the new installation. Once I reinstalled them via Unity Mod Manager the saves loaded fine. I did have to grab a new version of UMM first.

How come people forget about mods so often when so many of them clearly says there is a save dependency when you use them?

I didn't forget, I remembered, or else I wouldn't have been able to fix it :P I initially assumed the mods would simply carry over because that's pretty standard for most games that don't have to have their mods injected into their bloodstream via the magic of harmony.

It also doesn't present the save dependency information in game, like many other games do, which would probably help.

Possibly the mod manager might have detected the issue, but it didn't carry over either.

Sorry if you felt addressed by my comment. I was generally "speaking". My words carries a little of frustration caused by other individuals saying the default steps are not useful. But then when I see comments like yours I like to think of them as proof, that there is a reason why it is mostly the same answer every time someone think they have a bugged game.
