Error accessing this save. Argument cannot be null.

[Brandon_b]

I was going on to ksp to continue a game that I had saved but when I went on to open the save it said, "Error accessing this save. Argument cannot be null." I looked up how to fix it and it said to change the persistent.sfs file but I am no too sure how to do that. Can someone tell me a step by step process on how to access this file and change it.

 

Thanks

It can be found in directory/saves/yoursave.

1. ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP.

2. Open with text editor.

3. Do stuff.

4 launch game.

Before you try to edit that file manually, you might want to try one of the backup files that the game makes. You don't specify what version of the game you use, but this has been part of the game since 1.1.0, so you probably have them too.

First, make a backup of your current persistent.sfs (maybe add a date or something to the name so you can identify it later).

In the directory <KSPinstalldir>\saves\<yoursavename>\backup, you'll find 5 backup files of previous moments in your save. Test those to see if they will fix the issue, by copying them into the main save directory and renaming to persistent.sfs.
