kpw Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I had a successful save game going before christmas, but after taking a couple of weeks away i have encountered a problem. When i started the game, none of my save files were showing, i went into the directory and the files are still there but they just don't show up in game. I created a new save and that was placed in the same directory as my existing save files but in game this new save is the only one that is available for me to load. Has anybody else encountered this problem? does anybody have any suggestions of how to fix it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 When you start the game, at the load game screen, select "load game" rather than "Load last game". Then browse to the folder where the saves are stored and select that save game from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpw Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 i've tried this, but only the new save shows up in the load menu in game, but if i go to the directory on the computer all of the save games are there so i'm really confused right now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpw Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 thanks for the suggestion Neil, i'll give that a try and see if it works Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpw Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 I have been able to recover one of the save files by changing the name, but the other 2 are still not showing up, is there something else i can do to get the game to recognise them again?

kpw Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 i have been unable to load the save files in game still, and now the one file i was able to recover and the new save i created to test have disappeared. the files still exist on the hard drive but aren't showing in the game for me to load.

Administrators Neil Brock Posted February 6, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 6, 2019 And you've tried adding .fm to the end of the file names? And also changed the big picture mode settings and/or removed any controller that's plugged in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpw Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 yeah, tried those. i don't have any controllers plugged in but went through the steps anyway in case another device was being wrongfully identified as one. i've tried adding .fm to the end of the files once, twice, three times etc but still nothing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpw Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 is there no fix for this issue? it's incredibly frustrating not being able to play the game anymore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted February 13, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 13, 2019 Okay, please upload one of your save game files which you can't see or load in game to our Cloud and let us know the file name.

wind_aeneas Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Sorry may be i am a bit outdated to reply this post but i really do enjoy my time with FM2019. I did experience the same problem whereas my saved games are not showing in the load save game files. I have, however, checked that the files are still exist. The game simply won't recognise the .fm files even i try to locate them. Please help as this is a frustrating experience, given the time i devoted into this game and my team. I tried to rename the files but it wont work. When i try to duplicate the saved files, a file with minimum size is produced. Grateful if you can let me know any solutions. Thanks!

kevhamster Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Just to check, have you made sure it's looking for local files and not cloud saves? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
