Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has had these issues before and fixed them. I have an old laptop and a brand new over the top desktop. I copyed all the files onto the new system, including all files inside (program file x86), so I could play my old saves. I now save (external) just the 'saved' games folder and copy and paste them onto the laptop sometimes if I want to play when we go away. This has worked well for 6 months, and all games are fine apart from 1. The one I want to play. The last 2 weeks. (by open I mean the actual saved game, full game opens and can run the CK) It wont open half the time, it crashes when i try and save half the time. Crashes when exporting horses half the time. It has become very frustrating as it works best on the slow laptop (which overheats), on a windowed tiny screen. Currently it opens on there but wont save and wont open on my desktop. It seems to crash when i save at different dates depending on the machine. The screen res I feel can make a difference, but never know which one will work. Before I go full nucular and reinstall, does anyone have experience of fixing this. Also doesn't anyone know the uses of these 4 files, genset.idx, hdb_, db.i and atg1.db These are the 4 I paste back in when I lose my export horses. Maybe I don't need all or have mixed them up? Sorry about the rant, but many thanks in advance Ash |

This could cause problems if you did this instead of a proper install. The hdb files are your exported horses, there should be two of them .db and a .bak. The .bak is a back up of the .db in case it is lost during a crash. No idea what the other files do. Only time I had issues was when my hdb file grew too large (around 18MB) and was causing a lot of crashes so had to prune my exports. If all your other saves are ok then this is probably not your issue. |

Thanks, Yeah I've gotten the hdb file down to 6mb (900 horses), but this was only 1800, so doubt that was the issue No it was a proper install then pasting in the same course edits/schedules i had used. |
