Pcm fast editor not saving

[HighRizer08]

Hey so my pcm fast editor (most recent version) worked like a charm on pcm 2019 for a long time but at some point last week it stopped saving. It loads the .cdb does all the editing and goes through the save process like normal but once I close the app the new/updated .cdb does not save. Anyone have a fix?

Hello
What do you mean with "it does not save"? File date/name isnt updated on windows or it simply does not work ingame?

Personally i use another editor (Lachis v34) but it should be the same for both. Open the save, do the editing and save it, like you mentioned. Then you only have to load your savegame manually after editing. I mean use "load" and select the new save file and NOT push "continue last save" because thats an other not edited file.

the fast editor in 2018 didn't save in some period of the year (I don't remember which, sorry) but it did the week after... so maybe it's the same thing happening to you

It happens to me too regularly. This is due to major database integrity errors (visible when using the menu Tools > Clean) that are generated by PCM itself. There are always a lot of errors, but some of them blocks the saving process (unfortunately, that's very hard to locate the blocking ones from the normal ones).

The workaround is to find a weekly save that has not been corrupted yet by those blocking errors. I know you could loose some progress from your current savegame, but that works. That's why I check quite often if my savegame is still editable, at least before the 1st of January and the 1st of August (at the periods I need to ajust the database). Otherwise, I get a previous weekly save. Sometimes, you are lucky when PCM automatically fixes the issues just by playing the game.
