Savegames not loading/appearing in game

October 31, 2023 1:18:37 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire II ForumsSins of a Solar Empire II Forums

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my savegames. All savegame files are in the sins AppData/Local/sins2 folder on my harddrive, but only a handful of them appear when entering the load screen ingame. The older ones seem to appear, but only under the tab "autosaves", the newer ones just don't want to show. I tried both versions, regular and test version. I also tried moving the savegames between folders, renaming, etc. Nothing. Any ideas? It's killing me, I had great games and can't continue....

Thx!

It's because of the version lock.

If the save was created on a different version than the current gamestate, the save won't show up (nor work).
The exception is when it is a hotfix, then you can change the settings to make savegames show up again.

Go to your settings (under %appdata%, go back to local (instead of roaming) and find the sins2 folder, go to the main settings file and change the value under `enable_strict_saved_game_filtering` from true to false.
