My main save (8h46min playtime) ist stuck in loading screen, gave it a max time of about 30 minutes once. There are two versions, my own file and the automatic save, both won’t load.
New games work, my smaller village loads normally.
I have found no 2nd location, all my safes are on C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Farthest Frontier
I tried opening it on my 2nd computer, same loading issue.
It keeps getting stuck on around 10GB RAM total system usage, last time i had it opened the total usage was at about 14.4 GB. (nothing else opened so the game took about 8GB RAM) My mainboard only has two ram slots, so I have 2x16 and no ram errors.
I’m new to forums in general, I’ve seen one post like this, but i dont know how to ‘promote’ it… and dont know if to post the problem there.
If you could tell me that would be great :s
I’ve just fixed it, somewhat by accident. For better overview:
I have two maps, I’ll call them my first game (main, doesnt load) and my 2nd game.
I double clicked on the folder and there was no save with the name of my game, so I checked on my other save. In the folder of my 2nd safe there was:
the auto saves
the map file
the save file with the name of my map ‘2nd one’
AND the save with the name of my main map.
I copied it to my main saves, of which two exist ?! now it did open.
Do you still want the save files? I assure you, I did not open my saves before^^ so I didnt move them by accident. When copying to my other computer I took the whole ‘Save’ folder.
I am also having this issue. None of my saves will load. The .sav file is in the folder. I am unsure what to do. I have tried, uninstalling/reinstalling, verifying files, turning off third party overlays, etc. All the little “quick fixes” that are going around. None of it works. I am sending an email.
After 14 hours into the game (edit: 8+ hours ingame time), I tried to load the save file and it got stuck at 100%. I waited up to 25 minutes in the loading screen and it would not finish loading for any of the recent save files. Game version is v0.7.4. The map was started with v0.7.4, too.
I will send the save folder zip to the support email for you to reproduce.
I’m having this issue too. I am about 7 hours into my world and am unable to access any of my saves/autosaves. I was unable to replicate what morc described. I am on v0.7.4 as well.
First thing for you guys to try is to make sure you have latest drivers and to try setting refresh rate to 60HZ and toggle off Vsync.
If that still doesn’t work. Try wiping out your save folder and see if new saves continue to have this issue. In either case though, we’d like to see the saves.
Wiping out the save folder: I don’t completely understand. When I delete the folder I can’t load the save file, so how am I supposed to see if it works? New saves don’t have the problem, I can load them just fine. Also, for the corrupted save I have another file from 1 hour into the game (opposed to more than 8 hours now), and this can be loaded just fine.
I sent the folder and dxdiag to the email address.
I would like to challenge the idea that this is coming from a memory leak. Attached you can see my memory usage during the loading screen (German only, unfortunately). As you can see, memory usage does not increase much during loading. After being stuck at 100% loading time, it continues to stay at the same level of ~12GB total memory usage.
Edit: if you need more assistance for reproducing / hunting the bug, I am happy to help. Being a software engineer myself, I may be able to help.
While there may be other issues at play, such as timing out at 80% when some substantial game elements are loading, there absolutely is a memory leak in the current build associated with reloading/rerolling maps that does contribute to this issue for some players. That memory leak should be addressed next update.
Hi Guys, I am having exactly the same issue described in this post.
Unfortunately I ain’t no luck with any of the solutions proposed.
This problem happened to me with 2 different cities, and my feel is that it’s somehow related to the level of complexity/size/population of our city.
I am going to send my savefiles as well, hoping this could help.
