today I had a crash due to power issues. After booting up my box I saw that my character disappeared form the "continue game" menu, though the save game files seem to be still on ym hdd. any idear how to recover them ?
%appdata%/7daystodie/saves (type this into the run box or in file explorer)
Go to your game, youll see files with the .bak extension on them. Remove the same files without the .bak, and simply rename the .bak ones and remove the .bak. Do this in the player folder too.
Unfortunatly it didnt worked. The game however creates a file called main.ttw.loadFailed. It its filled with 352748 NULL-Bytes. The same goes for main.ttw (former main.ttw.bak) and the original main.ttw I deleted.
Sorry =/ This can happen on rare circumstances when your power went out, or you disconnected from a server while the game/server just happens to be changing your saved files. I am unaware of any fixes...
Well thx, Jugg. I found a "workarround" by creating a new game on the same map and copying both, the new main.ttw and main.ttw.bak into my corrupted savegane. Now it's loadble again. My Char and Base still exist. Only thing I am missing is my bicycle, but thats not mutch of a problem.
The workaround proposed by Cilazun did the trick for me. reset my game world to day 1 unfortunately but all my stuff is intact. Minibike disappeared from inventory like C's bike. Thanks guys, serious relief not to have lost everything..... deffo doing a backup now!!!
