Issue Game cannot load - SaveGame.getLoadEnumerator

[johnth822]

Today I cannot load my game with the following error. Can someone help?

13:35:33 ERROR SMAPI An error occurred in the overridden update loop: ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'key')

It seems your "name_numbers" is corrupted/broken, just try to : Undo the last save

Unfortunately the "_old" file is also corrupted. I wrote a script to zip the save and archive multiple versions, for future cases.

@UlyanaLeyana Do you have some more details about the "name_numbers"? I can try clean up the save file xml if I have some clue.

Smapi makes a lot of backups of your "Saves" folder, located in

Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\save-backups

I am using steam version in macos. In folder "~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS/save-backups", I found some backup files. Unfortunately, it's also incomplete. File "2022-10-22 - SMAPI 3.16.2 with Stardew Valley 1.5.6.zip" already has corrupted save file, and the earlier zip, "2022-10-21 - SMAPI 3.16.2 with Stardew Valley 1.5.6.zip", only contains "SaveGameInfo_old", not the actual xml save file (note the smaller zip file size below).

Thank you @UlyanaLeyana for your help. It's okay. I will start a new game with more backups. With the flexibility of all mods (which is great), it's reasonable the save file corrupts at times. It would be great if the base game has better save file support, like longer save history.

Have you removed any mods that you played with on this save?

 

[johnth822]

No, I haven't removed any mod.
