Savegame after update is damage.

Issue description

Hello,

Following the update, I updated several mods, but 3 of them failed to update. I’ve tried to remove them, but I’m unable to do so and keep getting an error message. I also tried deleting them, but that resulted in a notification that my savegame is corrupted.
I would appreciate some help with this.

Thanks.

Reproduction steps

Save game is corrupted

Mods that haven't been updated and cannot be removed

Game version and build number

v0.8.8 (b627)

Which branch of the game are you on?

Stable

Operating system

Windows

Thanks for the report! This is caused by a mod, so please let the mod's author know. If it started after a game update, you can keep playing on the previous game version (Steam legacy branch) until the mod is updated, or continue without the mod (recovery save). See the Mods not working guide for how.

Thanks for your response.

I also tried reverting those changes, but that didn’t work either. I removed several mods that I suspected hadn’t been updated, but the game still indicates that the save file is corrupted. That is why I am reporting this now.

Can you share the full error message?

Het spel kon niet worden geladen omdat het opslagbestand beschadigd is. Meestal komt dit door een mod die niet meer bij deze spelversie past.

The error message says 0.8.8 (4.3), did you try option B to go back to 4.2 until mods get updated?
Or are you trying to load the .recovery save (option C)?

I tried it with option B, but now I’m going to give option C a go.

If you want to try again option B (which is arguably the best option of the 2) be sure to select and download the exact version of the mods used by that save:
