2.60 : Save file not loading (no extensions/mods ever) - Save corrupted by early exit.

[Dreyloc]

Quicksave file will no load. Says initializing, then displays a quote, then the foundations background image, then fades back to the main menu.

I have not used any extensions or mods, I have not save file edited, etc. I did shut my machine down pretty fast after the last time I saved and exited the game. That's the only think I can think of that was different than the dozens of other times I have saved/loaded.

Debug log is:

If I need to I can find a way to post the save file. Hoping perhaps not necessary.

Thanks in advance for any help possible.

Crap, I can see the issue in the extracted XML file.

$ tail -n 10 quicksave.xml
<command type="freetrade"/>
<commandaction type="searchingtrades"/>
<vars>
<value name="$builds" type="table" value="413"/>
<value name="$debugchance" type="integer"/>
<value name="$list_criticalresources" type="list" value="6700"/>
<value name="$needsmineables" type="integer"/>
<value name="$problemthreshold" type="time" value="18000"/>
<value name="$resources" type="list" value="38627"/>
<value name="$ta_problemresources"


... xml is just truncated.

Bummer.

Well I guess the moral is, don't exit the game really quickly after a save because it must stop the compression of the save. The data is simply truncated inside the gzip file.

Sorry for the unnecessary thread.
