Hi all, I'm playing the steam version of Avernum 2 crystal souls on mac, and I'm having some issues with saving/loading. This error started when I tried to enter the Test of Speed.
I can't manually save, I can only quicksave. When I try to manually save, I get an error message that says "Save Error: Couldn't write to file. Try saving in a different slot. Error 1."
When I try to load a different save that isn't an auto or quicksave, I get this error message:
"Load Error: Couldn't load from file. This saved game is damaged. Error 21."
When I try to load a quicksave, I get this error message:
"Save Error: Couldn't load some data. This saved game is damaged. Error 41."
When I try to save in a much older save slot, I get this error message:
"Save error: Couldn't save some data. Try saving in a different slot. If that doesn't work"
^the rest of this message gets cut off, so I don't know what it says.
Playing in one of these "damaged saves" makes every interactable object open up my inventory as if it were a chest. Needless to say the game is unplayable like this, and I'm wondering if I should just uninstall/reinstall and start the entire game over.
I would really rather not do this if I don't have to, so I'm curious if anyone has further advice or some insight into this error. Happy to provide any more information if needed.
