this could be outdated mods, or poorly modded characters.

But it could just be some screwery with the save file syncing and steam cloud.

Uninstalling the game wont help in either situation. You have to delete the save folder and let steam cloud repopulate.

The save folder can be found by typeing

%localappdata%

into the windows taskbar and pressing enter.

In the window that pops up, look for the stateofdecay2 folder. Yhen cut and paste that stateofdecay2 folder to the desktop. Steam cloud should repopulate it

It didn't help(( steam created a new folder but the problem remained. I've created a new community and everything works flawlessly. But I need the old save. There I upgraded the base and the characters. Tell me I did the right thing. First, I copied the folder state of decay 2, then placed it on the desktop, and then deleted state of decay 2 in the %localappdata% folder and restarted the game, right? Eh, is there really no way to restore my save? I play without mods.

no modded items or modded characters ising the "community editor"?

[Lokieys ★]

weird

[Planewalker]

Savegames are in
\AppData\Local\StateOfDecay2\Saved\Steam\numberstring\numberstring\Release\v2\

I am guessing English is not first language or that Yoda now teaches English.

What was said above, verify files.
Also, shut down completely to clean that cache. Use a PC cleaner if you need to. Use memory check and video check to make sure not failing hardware issue.
That done...
If the bug is in the save, and you try to make new community and it repeats, then you will need to delete the save unless you can roll back to earlier game version.

if everything else fails, grab the community editor (it's in nexus mods). it does exist to try and fix those bs situations and bugs that the game does too often throw at you.

see if it is able to read in your old save file. if it does, export the survivors and the locker content and import them to a new save. you'll lose most progress (plague heart kills, enclaves and such) as it basically is starting again on a new map, but it does get rid of issues and bugs that tend to start happening on long running communities

Hi, sorry for the long answer. No, no third-party programs, mods, nothing installed. I like the game as it is, it's awesome. But the problem remains((( Do you think if you contact technical support they will help? I just don't know what to do with this problem.

Yes it's true, English is not my mother tongue and maybe there are spelling mistakes and it's hard to understand me. I'm still trying to get the point across. I will do again as I was advised by WarBucks player but I will reboot my pc. Tell me how exactly to check, quote ( Check memory and video to make sure it's not a hardware problem) ?? what app to use ???? I really don't want to delete the save I've been playing it for 2 years slowly and I've pumped a lot of stuff .

Can you give me a link to nexus mods? And where can I read a guide on how to use it I would be very grateful to you.

I just can't understand why this happened ( I played a long time ago and there was no hint of a problem. Could the problem be that the game is not English? Mods and other modifications never put. And is there any chance that support will read my message if I contact them?

That's it, I'm back to the old save. Thank you mate and THANK YOU to all of you for all the help and advice you have given. I'M GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE. I did as you advised, then just rebooted my computer and everything worked Thank you. Now I can enjoy the game and my progress.
