Cannot load games after a certain point

Post by Apocalypse King »

Hello all, I'm usually just a lurker on these boards but this time I can't seem to get around the problem I'm having.

Basically, I've reached the Boron/PHQ mission where you have to find the Orca and claim it back from the Yaki. Now the problem I'm having isn't so much the mission itself, but that any saves I make after the mission has started cannot be loaded. I have managed to narrow it down to a specific point. Saves made up until halfway though the previous mission work fine. The earliest I have seen the problem was a save I made in Olmankatslat's Treaty when the captured boron jump through the gate and I get a message saying to regroup at Kingdom End. Any saves I make after this point are unloadable. But I can load earlier saves, and saving/loading works fine, up to this point in the mission. Basically what happens when I try to load one of these saves is... nothing, I just see the loading screen but nothing is actually happening, and I usually can't alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del out of the game either.

Now, it should be mentioned that I do use a few mods and have considered that they may be responsible (I have been using them for pretty much the whole game thus far and haven't had any problems yet). If it is helpful to anyone I could list the mods I use.

Also I can post a DXDiag if anyone thinks it will be useful.

Mostly what I am looking to find out here is if anyone has had a similar problem with this (or any) mission, ie unable to load savegames that were ceated after a certain point ingame.

I'm really just wanting to find out if it's something I might be able to fix, or if I'm going to just have to buckle down and start a new game. Is it possible that the problem would go away if the mission was completed? (I'm not going to be able to do it easily right now as my marines all suck). Or is the problem likely to appear again in a new game?

If there's any other info that might be helpful I'll see if I can provide it. I'd rather avoid starting again if possible, I had almost finished all the plots!

If you are using scripts/mods then I'm afraid we'll have to assume they are responsible for your problem and leave you to work out what's causing it with the author(s) of those scripts/mods in the Scripts and Modding forum. If you can reproduce the problem in an unmodified game then feel free to post back here, but please provide all of the information requested in the very first thread in this forum.

That's pretty much what I thought, actually I do think there's a good chance it's mod-related since I searched and can't see anyone else with the same problem. It was really just to see if perhaps anyone else had seen similar issues and found a solution. I'll try uninstalling some mods and see if that fixes anything.
