The game says my save is broken but not which part of it is wrong

A save that fails to load with a vague message leaves your AI guessing at the whole file. This entry compares a save with the shape it should have and names the exact place and what was found there, including the sneaky case of a missing number.

Why this works

A message that says the save is bad forces a search through everything. Walking the save beside a description of what it should look like turns the complaint into an address and a finding, so the repair touches one spot.

When not to use it

It cannot help if the file is cut off or not readable at all, or if every field looks right but the story inside is nonsense. Then restore an older save, or compare the file with one you know works.
