Since most recent patch saved games will not load and can not start new game

[niikeb]

totally unusable.

Can not start new game, can not load saved games.
Nothing.

It loads 99% of the way and then crashes.

[gsv.76]

what to do in this case?

[Alexander (Aterdux)]

Can you verify integrity of your cache and/or reinstall? Also, please post your system configration parameters.

How much RAM does your system have?

[ckent7]

Had the same problem. Solution (for me) : either tick or untick (can't recall it exactly) the 'keep aspect ratio button' in Eisenwald Launcher.
I'm playing at 2560 x 1080 borderless - if that matters

[Nyrolph]

Same problem here after updating to .006. Unable to load any save (including auto-saves). Validating the cache had no effect. Messing around with checkboxes on the Launcher had neither.

Sme thing happened to me yesterday when trying to start the game...same solution worked.. I think!? lol

[Alexander (Aterdux)]

I wonder why it happens... Sorry for this issues, maybe something to do with Game_options.ini file... We will look into it a bit more.

[Nyrolph]

Being insistent with the checkboxes on the Launcher finally managed to get the game to load saves. Either that or the problem simply healed itself.

[Alexander (Aterdux)]

I wish I knew what is the reason of this but glad it works out. I thnk it's something related to Game_options.ini file. Trying renaming/deleting it also seems to help in some cases.

[Ulmo]

Try to disable sound in launcher.

[niikeb]

same general solution, unclicked disable loading sounds and saved games loaded!!!

:D

Tyvm!

[Nyrolph]

Yea, I think 'disable sounds' did it

[Mercostol]

didnt work for me, i already had the disable sounds on before
its just not the saves, cant start a new game
verified game cache, deleted game_options.ini nothing seems to work

[Alexander (Aterdux)]

Can you try deleting a few older saves?
