WTF just happened with my save file?!?!

[Lurker]

Game just hanged on my turn and I can't my save file. I was playing on Ironman. In \Documents\Xenonauts I see AutosaveIM2014-08-02_23.06.12.sav file. But it's not working, I tried to change file name, and open it but no luck.
Any suggestions?

You're going to need someone skilled with a hex editor to fix that! Perhaps ask over on the GH forum, see if a friendly coder is willing to take a look?

so in other words I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥ :)
I invested so much time into this game... it hurts

yea it is the same when you get the no loading/crash bug when it is loading ground combat, it comes very late and it always happens, so you have to airstrike all large ships which sux due to all xp lost, not to mention it breakes the game as you can never do ground combat again

Lurker, play UFO Extraterrestrials Gold edition instead, a better x com clone anyway
wanted to try xenonauts, but like ufo AI, senonauts is also a failure to let a bug arrive after soooooo many hours and it is a constant bug, you can never do land missions again

Lurker, beofre you declare "I'm starstarstarstar-ed", at least try. If you don't try then you are definately conceptually challenged.

niklas100,
yeah it happened with me on a ground mission for "huge" or whatever ufo for 60k-65k. And it was my first mission on ufo of such size.
And yes, I finished extraterrestrials gold a long time ago, it was good game, but this one I like more for some reason. Hopefully they will fix this abomination, because I prefer to play on hardcore, and won't start normal game just because of a bug.

Pingu_the_Great,
I'm too lazy to ask on another forum. Also I googled and didn't find anything, besides old bugs from 2013. And opening binary files is not something I would like to do in order to occupy my evenings, especially not knowing what to modify. But thanks for support anyway )

Funny you should say that. Here's a post by the dev about a proposed update:

Yeah indeed, no save game issues mentioned. And I'm still too lazy.

Lurker, the bug was in teh valkyre drop ship, when I went back ot shiri or what it is called before it loaded combat missions again,

so somthing wrong with that ship, but not a big problem
