Toaster1996 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I am fed up of starting a new game and then trying to load the game up at a later date and always says 'Game cannot be loaded' so I've decided never to buy Football Manager again. I have started 100s of games this year and it has done it for every single one of my game saves. I've uninstalled Football Manager 2011 and I've put it in the bin.

cruyff14 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Most people would ask one of the guys from SI on this forum to help them maybe upload your saves so they can look at them rather than being so dramatic but if that's what you prefer to do then fine can't see you getting any sympathy on here though.

I Why bother to tell us if you're not looking for someone to agree with you or help you? You could of just binned the game and left it at that no need to tell us all.

hugo_rune Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 :confused: I'm sorry - you started 100s of saves, and they all had this problem? I would have investigated why it was happening on the first instance... you might have saved yourself some amount of frustration by doing so. Ahh, why do I bother...

snootyjim Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 snooty_jim, Don't even know what that is pal. In preferences, you can set up a rolling save, with 3, 5 or 10 saves I believe, with fixed save points. It means that you always have that number of backups - so if one game gets corrupted, you have the others to fall back on. You'll lose one week, two weeks, one month (whatever you set it to) of save data, but you won't lose the whole lot as you do when you only have one save. I would also suggest that if it's happening that frequently and predictably, you may have a problem with your hard disk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster1996 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 I'm sorry that I was getting frustrated. My mate has came round and it has happened to him before and he's going to try and fix it for me. Once again, I'm sorry! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Injektilo Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 How do you access backups from the rolling save game files? I'm having the same problem with FM10.3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snootyjim Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 They should appear in the savegame list, with numbers in brackets after each save - i.e. Save; Save (v01); Save (v02); etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Injektilo Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hmm... I'm getting the same message with the backups... Game could not be loaded. Looks like my FM2010 career has come to an abrupt end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Guy! Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I am fed up of starting a new game and then trying to load the game up at a later date and always says 'Game cannot be loaded' so I've decided never to buy Football Manager again.I have started 100s of games this year and it has done it for every single one of my game saves. I've uninstalled Football Manager 2011 and I've put it in the bin. Well, as that sounds like an issue with your computer and not the game I'd say that its your own damn fault and I for one look forward to not hearing you complain in the future. Also, if you did want to correct your own issue here are a few things you could do: 1. Make backup saves, that is each time you save, save it to a different file. ie. Call the first file 'Save 1'. Then the second 'Save 2'. Then the next time save over 'Save 1' and then over 'Save 2'. Rinse and repeat! 2. Use the autosave function like any normal person with a few rolling saves...

Wiitastic Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 if its happening again and again to the same person saving it the same way, exiting the game the same way then it clearly has something to do with what you are doing. Do a defrag and also check to see if there is any spam on your computer. restart your pc and it should be fine, maybe you are exiting the fm11 when the game hasnt finished saving yet. Or are you doing any editing ? too much editing during the game can stuff your saved game up also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.G. Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 The longer you continue a Football Manager save, the probability of it being corrupted approaches 1. I've just reached 2027 and my players' histories have suddenly gone missing, I'm mentally bracing my self for the ol' "Game Cannot Be Loaded."

AndyRich Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 After the first 2 or 3 times would it not have been wise to come on here and ask the forum/moderators what to do? seeing as almost, if not every problem gets resolved in the end. But instead you decide to try loads of times, write a thread about your frustration, and say you are retiring... still not asking for help... Is it just me or does the whole point of this thread seem a bit stupid? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
