Are you able to load other saves (either for that mission or in general) or is it only that one specific save that causes the crash?

I'll check this evening. Is there a way to make some backup of the saves before trying others things ?

All user data (including unit repositories, saves) is located in <Windows Documents>/Uncrewed Game. You can backup that folder if you wish.

Also, when saving in campaign missions you can use one of the other save slots.

After playing a little with saves, I think I've found what crashes the game. I'm able to load others saves, but still unable to load saves that seems "corrupted".

The main difference is that for the corrupted saves, I previously removed some units from the repository, and these units are still ingame. Moreover, I've removed some unused parts of removed units that are still in game too.

Here is the step I think will reproduce the problem:

- create a new game, with a factory (inside a campaign for me)
- create a new unit
- clone a structural part
- modify it (I'm not sure it is mandatory, but it will ensure the original part cannot be used inplace)
- create a unit around this modified part (I tried with wheels, a computer and a battery around a bended stuff, but here again I think the only modified part can constitute the unit to trigger the bug)
- build it with the factory
- save
- enters the repository
- remove the previously created unit
- remove the previously created part
- restart the game (mandatory ?)
- reload the save : it should crash before displaying the continue button

In case of, I've a backup the directory before and after the operation.

Yes, this indeed appears to be an oversight in the save system - that is removing custom modules (i.e. cloned parts) that are still used by units in the save will make the save unusable.

A patch will be issued very soon that will resolve this problem. In the meantime, until the patch is available, please avoid removing unused modules while on a mission.

Thanks for the report!

The game has been patched and the issue should be fixed now. Your old unusable saves should also work now.

Hi i'm having a similar problem where my first save doesn't work but if i make a second it does.

Unfortunately this bug can't be reproduced so far. Does it happen every time you try to save in a campaign mission? Or did it happen just the one time?
