Game crashes on load of save

[Powerfreak1230]

Hallo there, i was just playing ys and got to darms tower floor 15. There the game crashed multiple times to desktop without any warning. After finishing the Entry for the scorpion enemy i save and the game crashed. Now it's crashing on load of that save. Can someone help me, i also don't know where a crash report or log would be.

Okay, it was floor 17 and it crashed multiple times when cheking the notes for the enemy.

I know this is an old post, but I'm having the same issue right now. Did you manage to find a solution?
Too bad the other damn save that I have is outside the tower so I might have to do it all over again

I had a feeling that was the case, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
So I'm guessing the game crashes whenever you close a menu in floor 17 for some reason, cuz once I just checked the bestiary in that area and it also crashed.

Hopefully Ys 2 doesn't have something like this.

Bumb.
Same issue here.
I'm not replaying the whole game because of a save bug.

My game is also stuck on 17th floor.

Minidumps would really help for this sort of issue.

that's tech language that I don't know. sorry.

How do we do that?
I mean, all what happens is: you load the game, the game closes.
No error message, nothing.

is there a tool I can use to report back?

There should be .mdmp files in the game folder generated by the crash. I say should be because frankly I know some crashes don't generate anything even though they should.
Still, if there are minidumps and they can be uploaded somewhere, it'd really make problems like these easier to check into, because I can basically just load them into my debugging software and find exactly where in the code the crash is.

Sorry, I've checked all the game files and there was none.

I really couldn't find a solution, changing the resolution and stuff didn't do anything so I had to redo the whole tower.

If you have to replay the whole game then oof. I'd suggest just play it on nightmare right away if you care about achievements, but then you would have to suffer through getting the complete bestiary on that difficulty. It's like pick your poison at this point lol

Lucky me, I was spamming save once and then I had a "backup save" on 10th floor.
I was playing on Nightmare already, filling the beastiary also.

I still need to redo the game since I missed that stupid Dr. Klaus.
One and a half nightmare runs are enough.

This bug is very real and CAN corrupt your save. There is something about the scorpion spawn area in the narrow hallway that must do something odd in the game's memory as if you pause and do certain things in the menus (like view the bestiary) the game will crash, and if you save, the save will crash on load.

To avoid your save corrupting, I would advise everyone to NOT SAVE while on this screen, and especially not in the corner where the scorpions spawn. If you are going to save, or even if you are working on the bestiary entry and want to check your progress on that, exit the room to the outer tower walkway first.
