Is there any way to rescue a save that has corrupted.
I was playing and the game froze "not responding".
Game Closed and now when I try to load it it freezes again.
Needs a forced close.
I really liked the map.
Is there any way to recover it?
Thanks.

First: How long have you waited until you closed the game? Windows can not distinguish between a crashed application and an application which is working heavily.

Yes the map can be recovered. This is because each world segment is in a seperated file. You will only lose the segment which was saved while you closed the app. Could you send me the complete map (as zip)? Perhaps via DropBox or Google Drive?

I will continue to think about it. There should also be a way to recover the map by ourself.

Ok, I thought about the recovery. Do you know which segment of the world is damaged? I think it should be displayed when the game hangs. Or you can look at the files if they have size zero or something else which is not realistical.

Then create a new map with the same seed and the same size. Then replace the corrupted segments with the new ones.

You only need to replace the *.synterr files.

segmentp3xn1.synterr -> Means Segment 3 x -1. p stands for positiv and n stands for negativ.

I hope that helps if you have further questions do not hesitate to ask.
