I am getting extremely ****** off with this. I was doing brilliantly with my local club, Wexford Youths, predicted to come last but coming first approaching the end of the season. Game went corrupt.
Started a new unemployed game, got the Weymouth job. Luckily this time I noticed it was corrupt early by not being able to save game so I saved it onto a new file.
I backed the new file up with a third and saved on a different one every two matches or so. The latest one went corrup. I had got two great results, coming back from 2-0 down to Salisbury with an 86th minute goal and an 89th minute penalty. I then beat league-leaders Histon 1-0. I tried to load the game today and it said the save game could not be loaded and closed FM.
What the **** is going on here? How do I put a stop to this?
 
Sounds like your pc is a bit 'funny'. I've never had a corrupt Save Game on any version of FM.
 
I don't know what the **** is wrong! I lost a whole season of good results! And now two very good results on my new career game!
 
I'm pretty sure its save games because the others work. It could be a parsing error though because I've had plenty.
 
No Wexford Youths are in Irish First Division already without editing anything. They're on everyones game if you load Irish First Division. I didn't edit anything and then my unemployed - Weymouth game went corrupt too! Had back-up though and beat Salisbury 3-2 away this time lol
 
No got it from steam, 9.2 Update, 9.2 DB. They automatically download from steam!
 
Nope, never use any FM cheats. Except db editor sometimes to create a club or make a non league club a league club but this is on normal 9.2 db!
Never used in game editors before.
 
Yep, just happened to me too! Some games were corrupting then it seemed to be going ok.

Saved my game off fine on Sunday. Monday the parsing error. Updated. Now my great game is corrupted.

Only using the latest update for FM that I downloaded from here. So **** annoying as I took LA Galaxy from a team that were leaking goals and lucky to draw, to winning the MLS in half a season!
 
Which antivirus are you using Finn? SI reckon that active scanning ones can cause corruption issues in the FM game saves. So it might be an idea to turn off the internet and close down the antivirus programme while playing FM.

Click to expand...

Yeah my antivirusprogram (McAfee), selected FM 09 as "Could be dangerous" and it f**ked up my game.... D:

Yeah I have McCaffee, but I have a Norton disk somewhere so I could uninstall Mcaffee and use Norton instead....
 
Could you not just disconnect from the internet Finn and turn it off? Safes faffing about with changing over antivirus programmes, and maybe having the same issue, if this has been the cause?
 
But McAfee works with me now... i just edited the settings... Not so hard...
 
I normally use Hamachi, steam and FM Base while i'm playing FM....like now. So I can't really disconnect.
 
Try looking through u'r data (savegames and stuff) mine somehow ended up in the trashcan?!? Don't know how ut when i recreated the files it worked....
 
I have looked through my files and all the save games are saved in the correct place...
