Byzantion_dockyard Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 After freezing at "Deserializing Save File Contents" for like 5-10 minutes, the game dumps me back to the main menu screen, but the UI is missing and I have to alt tab out to close the game. I should note that I thought I was lucky since I had enjoyed KSP2 relatively bug-free from launch until 2 days ago when this serious bug happened. screenshot of the loading bar message on imgur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatsEJstandfor Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I got this message when I accidentally malformed my save file while trying to do surgery on it. It might help the devs if you upload one of the broken save files somewhere and post it here (maybe Pastebin?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byzantion_dockyard Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 It is my pleasure to report success in solving this bug thanks to help I received on reddit. Here's the part the devs need to see: for some reason, a few days ago, the game had a hiccup and copied a TON of (apparently) junk info in the JSON save file. My 6 save files after that hiccup were around 2 gigs each! The advice I received was to delete the contents of ObjectEvents[], all text inside the square brackets. Below, I will paste what I responded to that advice with. "Success! That was the culprit. I deleted 5 of those 6 huge save files and edited the only one I cared about, deleted everything inside ObjectEvents [], which took the file from 57 MILLION lines of code down to 49 thousand lines. No, I'm not joking. Deleting all those bugged auto-added entries apparently didn't effect anything in game at all! At least not that I can see yet. New file size is down to 2 meg, and the new autosaves the game created today are that size too. Can't thank you enough partner!! I will keep an eye on my savegame folder from now on."
