BEWARE OF LOADING SAVES

[The Bold Attack]

I don't know if Harmony or the base game is doing this but the game started corrupting any saves I try to load. Be careful when loading a save. I would wait for this issue to be solved before playing the game again.

(Note: I use a lot of mods but I know THAT'S NOT IT because I was playing Rimworld yesterday and everything was fine.)

just reload the save. Also, try using the dub mods like dub minimap and and performance analyzer. The minimap is very useful detecting bugged pawns that sometime happen when loading a save.

When I load into the game I start at the world view and when I try to click something the game freezes.

Also the tool bar is gone

[The Bold Attack]

Oh and my base is gone.

[The Bold Attack]

I do use the analyzer but I can't use it if the button to use it is gone.

Have had the same problem since the update. I thought I was alone, since no one seems to be talking about it. Even if I load earlier saves, new ones will start getting corrupted after some time.

[The Bold Attack]

We should just wait till this thing gets fixed

[The Bold Attack]

I got lucky when I discovered this when I picked a save that was very close in terms of time to an auto save. I was lucky I didn’t lose everything

Quoting the Dev:

This update is still on version 1.1, because it should be compatible with savegames and mods. If for any reason you have trouble, you can set your Steam beta branch to 'version-1.1.2624' to keep playing on the previous version.

Having the same issue. Tried to reroll to the old 1.1 version. Same error

[The Bold Attack]

Did some testing. Its not Harmony. Its not the mods that have Error warnings. Vanilla saves work just fine even with Harmony. In conclusion this sucks. I WANT MY SAVE BACK.

i need yang back :(

after update and with tons of mod, so it must be your mod compatibility. i have the same problem with my tons mod playthrough, but not with my vanilla one

I happen to be playing vanilla. My pre-update save loads normally after this update.
Just mentioning it for others wondering if broken saves are from mods or not.

[The Bold Attack]

I will have to check ALL my mods to see if they’ve broken anything

[Raymond]

save broken isn't anything new or exclusive to the recent update. I have (modded) save files that are corrupted in various ways since 1.1 and they are usually caused by mods. Do remember that during this period modders are constantly updating their mods. Although independently they don't cause trouble, but if you are using large number of mods the game might not be able to implement those change correctly.

It also noted it is quite difficult to notice a save file being corrupted at first glance, you won't notice it at first unless you monitor your dev log frequently and notice stuffs not being spawned correctly or rendered as they supposed to. So if you only notice your save being corrupted today, chance are you have been playing a broken save all these time, and it only get worse as you save/load the game.
