Game Corrupted

[15+ Cans of Beet Soups]

I went in and disabled the autosave function so that I could see if there would be any other Contract offers a race later in the season. There wasn't a change so I went ahead and quit the game and rebooted... Unfortunately when I loaded my save file I get a prompt that says.

"this save game is corrupt and will be deleted" with the only option being 'ok'

Is there any way of going back in cloud save games and restoring a save game from maybe an hour ago?

I think thats the usual response I've seen when people are having issues with a corrupt save game. Must be a pretty comon issue with codemasters titles.

It's unfotunate because I had just finished the qualifying for Sao Paulo running the whole season on Expert @ 50% race distance... IN A WILLIAMS... I feel as if I should go outside and enjoy the rest of my life as doing this over again would take me ages.

I figured something out actually, I started a new game with a mod called True Life AI, which allows you to pick one of the top seven teams (RedBull, Mclaren, Mercedes, Ferrari, ect.) right out of the young drivers test. Its obviously not the best option as your race results will most likely be lost but its better than having to drive a Sh*t car for another season.

Also if you go into your savegame file (G:\Steam\userdata\*********\223670\remote) you can backup your 'corrupted' save game (e.g. ~User/documents/Backupf1folder) ,

Start f1 up, delete and start a new game, back out of the game,

You should now have a fresh set of 'savegame@profile~' files in your ((G:\Steam\userdata\*********\223670\remote)) folder , I would recommend backing this folder up somewhere aswell so that you have it in the future while you attempt to find the corrupted files.

you can then go in and drag and drop files one by one from your 'corrupted backup' (~User/documents/Backupf1folder) into (G:\Steam\userdata\*********\223670\remote) and launch the game inbetween each individual file transfer, if you are able to load your 'new' Save Profile without recieving the "this save game is corrupt and will be deleted" that certain file isn't corrupted.

Continue to do this until you find the file or files that cause the corruption and delete them from your backup (~User/documents/Backupf1folder). You may be able to retreive the entire save game but at the least might be able to get your race results back.

I'd honestly try out the True Life AI mod, Drive for the team you want, and the racing is so much more realistic.
