Post 2.90 Saved files list is empty!

from Stardock.net Forums

Hi,

Yesterday Ashes was updated to 2.90 version. Today if a want to load a saved gamed the list is empty!

I checked on My Games\Ashes of the Singularity - Escalation\Saves and the files are still there.

I tried to validate my local files and it found a corrupted one and domwloaded it.

in My Games\Ashes of the Singularity - Escalation\RunLog.txt

there is this message

"ChecksumManager: Checksum_GameCore_Summary key not found"

How can I retrieve my saved games?

 

thanks!

 

P.S.

this is the my RunLog.txt

I just checked here

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Ashes of the Singularity Escalation

the dowloaded file is gamedata2.dat

I tried several time to validate file and restart pc but I still can't see the saved files

Your old save games won't work because it is a new game version with many changes that makes those files impossible to open. On Escalation's steam properties, under the betas tab, there is a branch for "Previous" which will revert your game back to the 2.8 version, making your save games able to be loaded again. (But you should go back into 2.9 once those save games are done and you are going to start a new mission or skirmish.)

Thanks for your quick reply!

It would be easier if you wrote somewhere in the release notes that the new release is not "old save game" compatible!

Anyway maybe it's just me but the new version plays smoother!
