Map Missing Meta

[Duderino]

i have try the beta, and make a copy of all my worlds before
after i make a rollback to vanialla stable version i cant load any old map
Load Error - Missing Meta in XY.db.stmp is there a way to restore the map?
i have tried to take backups from the cloud but not a single map is loading,

i also try to reinstall the game, also on a another pc.. nothing helps

anyone a solution?

Where did you make a 'copy' of your old worlds too? That might help figuring out a solution.

i make a "copy" of the files from c:/progamfiles/Steam/userdata/STEAMID/892970

but these files are not loading anymore, also when i try different backups from the cloud not even backups 6 month ago are loading atm....

its confusing i can load some maps in "Valheim map generator" but ingame all of them habe load error

Use the in-game manage saves menu rather than managing saves files manually.

ingame it says Missing Meta

You should be aware of 3 things:

- Mods can generally corrupt saves.

- Saves that were once loaded on new Valheim version, can NOT be loaded on old Valheim version. Such character save files won't be visible in main menu.

When you switch from old to new version, and load saves on the new version, Valheim will always backup those old saves before updating them to new. The backups will be in the format "savename_backup-timestamp", where the time stamp corresponds with the time when you've chosen to load saves on the new version. If you want to switch from new to old game version, you should also restore those backups via the in-game manage saves button in the starting menu, for both world and character saves.

- Crashes during saving can mess up Steam loading a particular saves. More about that in last paragraph in Section1:Point5 of this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/

You most likely haven't tried the third option, which is not about loading backups.

you should try the default_preal beta with your old backed-up savefiles
