Save game outdated?

[Hwangchung]

Just got an error loading my new save from last night saying "The savegame cannot be loaded because it is outdated. Its version 0 and the current version is 12."

This was a new save with no mods. Anyone else have this and figure out how to workaround?

I have the same problem, but I didn't find a way how to fix it, so I'd appreciate some advice as well.

According what I could find from "Resolved" threads, this tends to occur when either your save file is corrupt or you have conflicting mods. If disabling certain mods did not help or you're not using mods of any kind then you're in a pickle so here's what you can do.

Assuming you didn't save a copy of your save file (Do this after every time you play the game or just create a scheduled task, google this if you don't know how) but you have system restore enabled, you might have a copy still on your computer from before this mess. Right click on your save folder and click on Restore Previous Version... This may be found either in the context menu or in Properties. If there's no previous version then I'm sorry but it seems that you're out of luck.

I have found out how to fix it: 1.Start Skyrim
2.But now choose 'Load'
3. There you will find all your previous saves and the unusable saves have some kind of error description
4. Search for your newest usable save and load it
5. Now you will be able to play again (it can be that you might loose a bit of your effort, but you won't have to start a new game either

I was lucky only one save was an error file. I hope you're lucky as well ^^

What if we only have one save and that's the corrupt one
