Multiplayer COOP saves corrupted.

Does anyone know how to recover from the corruption of multiplayer COOP saves by the game?

We are at turn 256 of an MP Coop campaign (Empire & Bretonnia) and for some reason the last three saved files have become corrupted and claim that our games are incompatible, despite the fact that they clearly aren't.

We can reload the fourth hisotrical save, but this was several turns and two really difficult battles ago, and we would prefer not to have to go back that far.

Any idea's?

You should feel lucky you got to turn 256. This happens in pretty much every total war game that has co-op. You can't ever finish a game. Me and my friend couldn't even get past turn 1 on this game without Desync/crash so we both refunded it.

Often the resync will work, but if not then its a question of relaoding from the last Autosave, Quicksave or Save. My son and I have a rule that we Quick Save before every battle, and complete a full save after every major event.

So far we've been lucky in that save corruption has been rare with Warhammer, even though syncronisation issues and crashes are quite common. We actually had more problems with Rome 2.

However, we have discovered that in some cases you simply cannot win a Co-Op campaign. Instead, when you meet all the victory conditions the game just crashes to desktop rather than present the victory screen. it also has a habit of crashing when it loses a major battle.

Guess the AI is just a really bad loser.
