Playing on PC. About 25 hours into the game. Got a new SSD and copied the entire install folder to new drive. Steam recognizes it and boots the game normally. When I get to the LOAD GAME screen in the main menu, my career and and subsequently, save file appear. When I select the game or try to click on Load Game, nothing happens.
@FishTacoAddict Can you start a new save, or does that not work either? Did you move only the game's installed files to the new hard drive, or did you redirect your save files as well?
I can start a new save but after putting 83 hours in already between the 3 games, I'm not gonna start over. I moved both install and save files over.
@FishTacoAddict I understand why you wouldn't want to start over with a new save. But I was wondering whether it worked at all, whether the save file itself was located in the same folder as your current saves, and whether the new save file was the same size as the current ones. There are plenty of possibilities, including that your old save became corrupt somehow; if you think that may be the case, try removing the most recent version of that save from the saves folder and loading a backup instead.
Made new copies, tried it no dice. The save file is in the correct destination path along with the new save I created. It might have been corrupted somehow. I'm just gonna wait until a new patch appears. I appreciate the help
I doubt that a patch will help you.
You can load the new save you created without a problem?
Has the SSD the same drive letter than the old drive?
Did you tried to repair the game? Some files might got corrupted wile transferring
