Any way to Salvadge game Saves? : IV

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 6:57 am

I've got some old games I'd pretty much given up on, they might go another few fays, maybe a week, but their just Doomed to crash for no apperant reason. They might start out crashing every couple hours, but continue to get worse until their Unplayable.

I suspect more information is needed. Presumably you are patched up to date. Do you use the bash feature to clean bloated saves and so on? What mods are you using?

I've tried the Bash options with no differance, there seems to be something in the save file that's slightly corrupted, I can start a new game and it play's just fine with the same load order, I've had several games go bad that way, even with Vanilla...

**Here's an LO for this paticular one

One thing on this game is Miscardand?? was kinda screwed up, the creatures had gauntlets "Missing Name", and I was able to get the Giant Welklamd stone, even though I'm no where near thet point in the Quests, I also managed to aquire two of the Elven Helmet quest items...

I'd try cleansaving every mod you can without messing up the game completely (losing important items or resetting quests)

edit: Yeah, sometimes a game gets a corruption that doesn't become noticeable until further down the line. And then the save is pretty near unfixable.

In my current game I haven't saved over a single regular save since the beginning. Burning them to disc instead.

I backed it all the way back to Oblivion.esm...
I managed to reformat the drive it started out on, I did go back from a Lvl. 45 to 27, but it seems to be Doomed before that point

**Actually at the time it was corrupted I didn't have much at all loaded,
