Crash to desktop-Can someone help please??

[John MountoBlader]

Hi there.
So i had a 93 in-game save. I went from Danmark to Norway to complete a quest, but when i landed on Northern Norway (close to Odin cave) it crashed to desktop. 
Before i post the rlg_config, some information:

1. Every other save works perfectly when i load them. Its only this save.
2. When i load the save, it does not crash immediately. The loading screen reaches the "Launching game..." and crashes 3 seconds later.
3. I am aware of the  "last_savegame_backup.sav" solution. However, the last game saved on my game is another save file, not the save file im interested in. So i cant use the trick.
4. I dont know if that info is helpful, but my cooling fan do not work temporarily. (for thr past 15 days). Although the game never had an issue.
5. I have Windows 10
6.System info: processor: Intel core i5-6200U, 8,00GB Ram 64 bit please let me know if there is any other important info that i didnt uploaded.


Now, for the rlg_config, i go to (C-Users-My name-documents-mount&blade warband-->rgl_config:

post a link to download your savegame (Dropbox, GoogleDrive, etc) so devs can look into it

the short answer (not official) is that a corrupted savegame on Warband (and any module like VC DLC) is lost, gone, dead. You can't fix it or restore it. That is why is highly important to keep backups (use multiple save slots). This is a very old issue with Warband and it is unlikely we will ever see a fix (after 12 years).
--> VC team is not part of TW (creators of Warband). They can't fix the engine issues. Only DLC issues.

as a player you should be able to replay your campaign using cheats and other tricks to quickly go back to the same stage (if you are OK with that). Just don't try to force your way in, play it as normally as possible, just get free cash/troops/relationship points/etc to simulate the normal workflow of the game. It shouldn't take more than 30min to restore a 90days game.

Yes, i know that i can start a new game but i would prefer to try and save this one first.
The problem is that forum wont allow me to upload th link that contains my file because i need to be in the forum longer

If you exclude the exclamation emojis then you will be able to post the link and download my file.

just to be clear: I am not a dev/part of the VC team. You will need to wait for their reply for a official word. The corrupted issue is a well know problem with Mount and Blade games.

Cheers

Hi John MountoBlader,

I'm sorry to say Kalarhan is correct  The game got corrupted and there is nothing We can do
