Hi community im facing the following problem. I play mainly on a desktop 1660TI 32GB RAM Ryzen3600. It runs smooth. I've been out of my house for a week and played in my laptop. Game update prompted but i ignored it. This caused savegames in laptop not to upload to cloud.
When i returned home i tried launching game and of course i didnt see any of the laptop savegames. I also updated the game, and nvidia drivers. I cant remember exactly but i think i was able to load a savegame that was a week old (from before switching to play in laptop). After that i updated drivers and i was not able to load any game anymore without getting directx error on "set sail" button appearance.
In the meantime i transferred a savegame from laptop to dektop with a usb stick. This wouldnt load, and old desktop savegames wouldnt load either.
What i did next was update game in laptops and synched savegames (correctly transfered to desktop) and delete all savegames transfered by usd stick. Still getting directx crash error.
I think that either the game update or the driver update broke the game for me. The strange thing is that if i start a new scenario or sandbox from scratch i can play on desktop.

Any clues on how to solve this mess and save my savegames?

Hey there @lungolok!

Welcome to Discussions! Sorry to hear you're running into all of this. Arguing with save files and crashes is never a pleasant or fun experience.

Can you start with verifying your files for me and running through this quick troubleshooting to see if that resolves it for you?

If that doesn't work, please update me with whether this is happening with DirectX11, DirectX12, or both. If you could snag an image of the error you're seeing, that would also help me.

Thanks!
