And what version do you play?
People should stop being so vague (and sometimes flippant) on both sides and talk more. Saying "works for me" isn't helpful. By the same token only saying "saves are broken" is so meaningless it should be ignored.
For someone saying they're tired of people being flippant, you sure know how to embody what you apparently hate. In troubleshooting, you typically ask questions for more information and provide information in return to try to isolate a problem. It is
very common that someone who says saves don't work hasn't played for the last several updates. How am I supposed to know how recently they played the game? If someone is using a save over 9 months old, it's extremely possible something might have broken in the mean time.
How is what I asked "vague"? I was actually specifically trying to rule out what might be causing the problem. And what do you mean by "on both sides"? I'm not on anyone's "side" about anything. I was trying to find out what might be wrong.
I also never saw mention that they were using a compressed version this time and uncompressed previously. Just because you might have guessed correctly doesn't mean this is automatically the problem, either. It
might be the issue, but it could also be something else. Did you even ask for any information to learn whether what you suggested even applies? I actually hope that uncompressed-to-compressed
is their issue so that it works for them now. But the aggressiveness of your response was completely unwarranted. I'm sorry your day apparently is going badly for you.
Also, if my saves worked and their didn't, it's possible providing a save file would let them continue anyway; maybe I was suggesting that if we didn't figure out their issue they might be able to use a save that worked for me. But that's not helpful? Sure, if you only say that to be a douche; that's not what I was doing.
