Guys/gals/..., I know it's not a FIX whatsoever, but the following approach seems to work for me:
- Load your savegame (--> if all your current savegames fail to load, I'm afraid this approach won't well help either... and I'm truly sorry for your loss, I know it sucks donkey d*ck)
- Continue playing
- NEVER use the autosave functionality
- Save your game, but ALWAYS choose "Save as" and give it a "unique" name without spaces --> I like to use stuff that is currently going on in-game as part of the file name next to my club's name, so "LiverpoolCupGameNext" or "LiverpoolTransferWindow" or "LiverpoolStartNewSeason" or something like that, you get the picture I guess. I don't know if the "without spaces" part is important, I simply did it like this so that's all I can tell you.
- RESTART FM20 at this point, like actually close the game and restart on Stadia
- Load that savegame you have created in the previous step by using "Load game" and not by clicking on the automatic savegame suggestion that FM20 gives you
- Continue playing
- Repeat the steps above
In short: never save your progress twice in the same FM20-"session", use "save as" when saving and always use a somewhat different name for your savegames. I constantly have 4 or 5 savegame-slots occupied for 1 save, and my habit is that I delete the oldest one every time I create a new one by using "save as". I don't know if there is a limit on the number of savegame slots one player can have, I sure hope not, but I simply won't take the risk and that is why I tend to clean up every time I create a new savegame.
Disclaimer: I truly know this is not a fix, but at least it keeps my savegame going. I have been using this workaround for the last couple of weeks, and I can honestly say I have never encountered the infamous issues again. BUT it can also be 100% luck, so don't shoot me if it doesn't work for you. Remember: a month ago I couldn't save my progress either, so I feel your pain. Luckily one of my savegames kept loading, so I could experiment with it, with this result. I hope this approach works for everyone, but I can't promise you that of course, since I'm not a SI-developer :-)
@Ben Allingham: I am under the impression that the issue mainly occurs when overwriting an existing savegame, rather than using "save as" and creating a new file, so maybe using the same filename over and over messes everything up in a way? Hopefully this can narrow down the debugging :-)
Godspeed everyone, and stay safe.
Thanks matey. I'll give it a crack - worth a try at least!

So glad in a way it's not just me. I've just had 2 saves in a row corrupted and am loath to invest time and energy into another one. Gutted Really really annoyed

Hi,
I've posted a lot of sim tests with different teams in EPL using Cerber V4 or Fighter V2 tactics so if you go back few pages back then you'll find them
Sorry, must've missed them. Will take a look

What premier league squad do you guys think is best set up, from the start, to fit into the V4 Cerber formation?
P.S Thanks for all these tactics @Totalfootballfan

Not that we should have to do this, but thanks - this has worked for me. Got to the year 2024 with no issues (yet!).
