Hello, just got this game and started building a nice sized civilization when the game randomly crashes a bunch. So i let be for a few hours and come back to find that when i try to save my game, the save option comes up however nothing actually happens. and i have to start a new game everytime.
Created a new game for this post.
Trying to save 30 seconds in:
Nothing happens when clicking new save, but do get the overwrite option.:
still nothing happens.
also quitting to main menu does nothing.
and now back to the beginning, there isnt even an option to load or continue my new game.:
Yeah, I’ve had this a time or two myself. Corrupt saves are corrupt, is my best guess (note: I still have various files in my saves folder, just nothing in-game - is this the same for you?). Hopefully it’ll be fixed in Alpha 5 though.
depending on the number of saves you have, you can (sometimes) sequentially delete the most recent game(s) until you work back to a pre-corrupt version…
Or alternatively, right-click on Stonehearth in Steam, go to Properties, then the Local Files tab. Click Browse Local Files to open the main SH folder .
When you launch the game, on the main menu there should be the release written somewhere in little (I don’t remember if it was at the bottom of the screen), or you can click a button that says patch log if it isn’t visible, and there is written in bigger what alpha, build and release you’re playing.
That’s what you want ideally. If you’re using an earlier release, again go to the game in Steam, click properties, then Betas, and select the latest build option. Not sure if you’ll have to restart Steam so it takes note that you’ve updated this setting, but it’ll result in you always having the latest version of the alpha .
ehh been good for a while, but now i just click continue and instantly get a crahs with a windows warning saying the game stopped and the only dialogue is “Result”
