Issue description

Game fails to save when I try to save it.
`Failed to save the game!:
Failed to validate checksum of save file: FailChecksum. This save is likely to be corrupted and not loadable in the game. Verify integrity of your disk and file system. You can also try to save the game again.

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Users\tucke\AppData\Roaming\Captain of Industry\Saves\Transport Shore\Save 2025-08-14, 04-01-32.save'.
File name: 'C:\Users\tucke\AppData\Roaming\Captain of Industry\Saves\Transport Shore\Save 2025-08-14, 04-01-32.save'

Interestingly, when I try to save again, it says success, doesn't output an error.

Check the drive and RAM for errors.

It can be multiple things, Windows write protection. But also a faulty drive. If you have ssd, Samsung has a utility to diagnose it, there are also lots of tools for Windows to verify drives generallly.

This started a whole thing of fixing my computer. Memtest failed, so replaced the memory. Memtest failed again, so I replaced my memory again. Memtest passed with the 3rd set, but was still having weird issues. sfc /scannow and DSIM.exe showed corrupted windows files, but failed to fix them. I started having random blue screens. Ended up swapping the motherboard and CPU, which seems to have fixed the issue (and sfc/DSIM was able to repair my windows installation).

TLDR; this bug was almost certainly caused by a hardware problem. Thanks! 👍
