Is it all lost? Please help with CTD..very upset

[Patton21]

Hey guys,

I am playing RS 1.6a and have been fine until one turn when I click end turn, and the game crashes, I get the "RTW Alex has stopped responding". I do not have a previous saved game and autosave is off. I tried reinstalling RS after making a copy of my save game, but when I load the save game, it just takes me back to the menu screen. How do you guys make a proper copy of a saved game? I really hope all my work is not lost!!! Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

If it takes you back to the menu screen there should be an error when you exit, what does it say? I'm assuming you actually checked to make sure the new install actually worked before loading the save game.

I did make sure the game worked before loading the saved game file. What happens is I load the file, I get the loading progress bar with the quotes, then the quotes disappear and the loading bar continues for 2 seconds and then I go back to the main RS menu...no error. Am I doing something wrong?

The error will hopefully appear when you exit.
