100% Vanilla Save got Marked Modified

[afarina1]

My 100% Vanilla save that I have had since launch got marked modified yesterday some how.

Let me reiterate before anyone comes in here and starts asking if I installed any mods ever.

NO, THE SAVE IS 100% Vanilla! I HAVE NEVER INSTALLED ANY MODS OR DONE ANYTHING TO MODIFY THE SAVE FILE OR USED ANY 3RD PARTY ANYTHING.

Please Egosoft, help me get this fixed as I am no longer able to do ventures because of this and I refuse to start over for ventures.

Is there somewhere to put in a support ticket directly with Egosoft?

[afarina1]

I really think the ventures are an awesome idea and I really like them but it really sucks that something bugged with the game now I cant do the ventures anymore.

Please someone tell me a way to fix this

The solution to your scenario, HBK, demonstrates why "me too" posts are not particularly helpful in Tech Support.

In the OP's case my first suggestion would be to verify the game files using Steam's verify option, in case any files have become corrupted.

Tried that.

Problem is that even if its an error that caused the modified tag it appears there is no way to ever remove that ever.

Once you've made a modified save, that tag remains with that save, yes. The issue is whether previously-unmodified saves still get marked as modified, and what we need to identify is what has happened to your game installation if that's still happening.

Can you confirm that for the save to be marked modified by modified game files (and not by save game tampering), the game would have warned the player with a "modified" tag on the "start menu"? (the menu where you can "new game", "load game", etc)
