I was recently playing a long skirmish game and had a few saves. Then, yesterday, I uipdated lOUD and went to load the save game. It loaded OK then locked up after a few seconds and I was then ejected from the game. Is this normal? Should I not update until I have finished with the save games?

We had this issue reported yesterday, and immediately went and found the cause. It has been patched, and updated, along with a few other unit script errors that we didn't catch, so it's dicey if the saved games will be ok - but update and try it. The underlying cause has been repaired and won't plague you again.

Ok - I can't really solve them here. If you can join our Discord (link is on the front of the launcher) I'll be able to give you immediate and direct help on the matter. There you can share your save file with me and I can see the error as it happens.

I have similar problem. I can't open my old saved games. So I played new skirmish game yesterday for about 2 hours. Today I can't open it. It is loading, then crashes and switch to Windows and show "send error report window.

This is not at all unusual after an update - saved games are often invalid or will desync almost immediately.

This issue appears to have returned. I've found I can no longer load save games as of a day ago. Lost hours to repeated attempts to play a long game.

I'm using the following mods:
- 4th Dimension Units for LOUD
- LOUD Unit Additions
- Supreme Score Board 1.24
- Loud Structure Upgrades

5000 unit cap per player
40km maps

The most recent game it will load is yesterday midday

Bluecats - if you can, join our Discord and submit the save game to our 'Replays' channel. I can diagnose the issued directly. However, it does sound like your game has simply reached the point where it cannot be reloaded.

While reloading a game, SCFA briefly requires MORE memory that it would need to actually run the saved game - and this could be why it's crashing. I can diagnose this, and some of the contributing factors (there can be many) so that you can enjoy the long games.
