How to restore broken save file?

[DetWolf]

Right at the time of saving the game I got game crash. I was overwriting my old save game. After next launch I didn't find any saves. In the "FarCry2\Saved games" folder I found one *.sav files, and its size 0 kb. I guess It has corrupted. Is there any way to restore it? Or mb restore other deleted sav file?? I wasted 30 hours and didn't complete even once

nope. start over but remember to save every chance you get, just in case. and always hit the road with full mags.

well.. it's the only way :)) thanks
I tried some soft, that recover broken files and even files after hdd formatting, but it didn't help

The same case here, just happened.

Why would anyone keep using the same file? Every time I save the game creates a new (separate) file. I'd have to try extremely hard to only have one save file, and have it get corrupted, as I would have to purposefully pick the only save and specifically overwrite it repeatedly. Just trying to understand why someone would do this.

Even hitting Quicksave actually generates a new and completely separate save, unlike the majority of games that overwrite the previous quicksave.

Yea FC2 will never be stable enough to recommend overwriting saves. If space is a concern, just wipe the old ones later. F5 every few minutes to be safe!

Anyone requiring a saved game please submit Mission Info for what point in
the game. - I'll get as close to that as possible but you'll have my stats, and be
aware that I always do all Weapons Shop and Buddy Missions first.

If I get too many requests I'll have to retract the offer. - sorry 8-/

I have a few saves as well. A few thousand.

I also don't mind sharing, if it will help even the load some. Might also be an option, if there are a lot of requests, we could just upload a sequence of them to something like Dropbox. It's crazy easy to use, and we can make it a repository that we both (or more) have access to, as we see fit. (Everyone would be able to still access it; but whoever we set as managers, or whatever it's called, could upload / delete / modify the saves.)

If it were needed I'd say great idea, but In the past 3 years or so I haven't seen that
many requests.

- I've been meaning to pare out saves at the start and end of each mission so they
can be easily accessed at any time; -UL the library and post a link.

Would take a bit of time but I'd like to have the entire listing IN-game and regularly
delete later saves as I see fit. -Something I loved about Thief 1 and 2 is that you
could name your saved games and even make notes on your maps.

If any one wanted to chip in - saves could be in the town, (not the Faction HQ) shop or
bar just before getting the assignments and debriefings - so that you have confirmation
of the mission as soon as you load the game.

Would also be helpful to have screenshots the assignments in your journal and on your
map.

ummm - HOW many mission are there in total ??

[EbonHawk]

Main plus side plus buddy? Not sure..

Game Stats screen lists # out of a possible:
Main 33
Buddy 12
Side 8
Underground ?? (I have completed 3 but not sure what the total is)

That's at least 56 there so far.
