Have had another regional city corruption. But, this time it wasn't corrupted after a hanging save (although hanging saves are still happening).
Steps:
In one regional city.
Choose to move to the regional map.
See the game save the current city.
Successfully arrive at the regional map.
Tried to go back into the same regional city.
City is corrupted and won't allow me in.
As a side note, when starting this new region, whenever I could successfully get in and out of the three regional cities I would go back to the main screen and then do an export save into the folder of my iPhone. I had hoped that if I did this that I could then reload a saved export file and recover all the cities of the region, losing only the very latest upgrades of the last session played.
But, that did not happen. After the regional city corruption I went to "Game Data" and then "Restore a Game File". Choose the regional colony and loaded it into the game.
However, the same regional city was still corrupted. Even though I had tested it before doing the "Backup Game File".
Question is, when I came out of the regional city to find it corrupted, did that automatic save somehow to the same place on my iphone, thereby replacing the good file with the file with a corrupted city?
I tried using "Restore a Recovery File" but apparently the "Backup Game File" option does not create a .mcb file. At least, I could not find a .mcb file anywhere on my iPhone.
This is so frustrating. Basically two days of regional city building down the tubes.

I'm playing the html5 client, v0.48.
My colony is rather large with 3,8m colonists and mapsize 640x640. Until recently I did not have save file issues. I did not grow much population since, maybe 50k.
The last few days saving took extremely long, to the point where chrome asked if it should close the website because it did not respond.
More than half of the save files get corrupted, I had to load backups multiple times now.
update: just tried again, ̶1̶̶0̶̶0̶% like 8 or 9/10 of saves end up corrupted. some backups work, others that worked before are suddenly corrupted or won't load at all.

I had created an offline reptilian colony with my custom map “volcano beach” (which you can see and download in the custom maps section of the my colony forum) a few months ago. I hadn’t checked on it for 3 or 4 updates and when I tried to access it in the 0.71 version of the game it told me that the file had been corrupted and didn’t let me enter. I then tried to restore the backup file but I found out that there was no backup file for this colony (and I never deleted it or any other file from this colony).
Android, Samsung galaxy a5 phone
Update: after managing to enter it on the windows 0.70 version of the game (which I have now updated to the 0.71 version) I was able to access the colony on the phone, because I have cloud sync on on all of my colonies, both offline and online except for my red planet regions colony which has now been corrupted on my phone (I only have it on the phone) and since, for some reason, there are no backup files for any of the colonies in the my colony file, I will now have to delete this colony.
I hope this only happens to offline colonies and only on the phone, because I don’t want any of my big online colonies to get corrupted on both devices and not be able to get them back.

Hello, in this post I am going to explain an issue I have, this will tell about my save profiles being corrupted when the saving procedures have been completed...
Let's Begin by saying first off, let's set the setting, I am in my world (colony), and I want to exit to the title. I do so. It saves and exists,I am back to the title,I wait one minute to ensure my game saving is for sure done, I exited the game(close application).
I open it up, I click on my save profile, I load it... It would say save profile corrupted.
This occurs while:auto save, saving manually, or exiting to title.
It seems to happen by chance. I have made sure and tested that doing this I have had enough ram, bc as it's saving it takes up more, I have plenty left for it to do the procedure.
But also, sence I have "create a backup" option enabled, when it does try and load a save, it will then attempt to load the backup, that,is to corrupted.
My device: Nvidia shield tablet k1,(Android 7.0)
0.44.0 currently.

Hi,
I'm playing this game on Windows 10, via the windows store app. I've had this problem for a while now and it takes on different formes. Sometimes the auto save keeps saving forever, and any progress I make isn't recorded. Sometimes I want to quit, but when I save the game, there is no response and I have to quit without saving and wishing I didn't lose to much of my progress.
The third form had the most impact, since it corrupted my save file. I saved the game, but it got stuck in the 'compressing-data'-mode. When I quit the game and restarted it, the save file was corrupted.
Is there any way to get it back?

I've now made three separate games. Of those, all of them now been corrupted. The Imperium of Man, my largest colony, with a rather splendid econmy, refuses to load since updates designed to "stabilize" the Android client. Since the corruption of my first colony, I made two more. The first was corrupted after only 2 days, and the second corrupted after about a week and a half. Bast, what did you do. Android client ran fine for me until you made updates to "fix" it.

My Colony Version: Build 0.73.0
Started a new offline colony with the new October 4th build to see if it was still an issue. And it is.
I've had this same problem over the last several versions. Basically, saves are hanging and then corrupting the game file. I've lost so many colonies to this, so many that the game isn't all that fun anymore.
NOTE: I've had this happen before with regular maps, but I didn't save any of the specific information from the splash screens. So, the below are details on what is happening with the new Regions feature in Offline Mode.
Steps:
Start new Regional colony. Have game engine save options set to "Rarely."
Start a new Region City on the Region map. Play in the new region city. Regularly manually save. Save works fine and does not hang.
The "Rarely" auto save comes. Save hangs and will not complete, no matter how long I allow My Colony to remain open.
Close My Colony manually by going to the iphone desktop, then 'sliding' it closed.
Try to open colony. Regional colony map showing all the regional cities opens fine.
Try to get back into the Region city that I was working in when the autosave hung up.
Splash page says:
Syncing Data (sometimes it sits at this stage for quite some time)
Decompressing Data
Restoring Data
And then it defaults back to the Regional map. I can do this over and over, and the region city will not open. I cannot get back into it, yet the game is showing the production of supplies coming from that city just fine.
Even worse, one by one the region cities on my map are succumbing to this. On the main colony I'm currently playing I have 2 regions I can't get into, including the area I've designated for a bunch of government buildings that took a lot of resources to build and upgrade. One Region Colony I just deleted in frustration because all the regions were falling like dominoes.
I also tried:
Setting engine settings to never save. However, I've found that the game still tries to save itself once in a while, and yes, the above corruption happens. I just had this happen with a Regional city of a brand new colony that was started just this morning. So, out of the 3 regional cities I started, one of them is already corrupted and I cannot get into.
Just for kicks I set the engine settings to save "often." it worked for a few hours, and then wham. Corrupted region cities.
This is beyond frustrating. Why play if the cities just become corrupted? It's literally a waste of time to play.
Please fix! I really enjoy this game.

Hey, I'm in a region world. My link is https://www.my-colony.com/colonies/OQUUg0mM/
I have a city, named suburb-nor and it seems to not load. I've tried changing the compression, cloud saving, I've even tried deleting some city files and reinstalling them. I've put them in base64decode and they don't seem corrupted and don't abruptly end data. Just whenever I click on that single city, it says "Syncing data," then "logging into server," and then returns me to my region with no further prompt. ❔ I was wondering if anybody has had this error before or now and knows a possible fix to it. My data is not corrupted.
TLDR: One of my cities won't load despite all data is not corrupted

Hey, so I played my colony before you guys added online players.
So when I came back to the game and you can now communicate and interact with real players I was mind blown and excited.
I even bought the premium! I had roughly 10b coins. 12 million of storage for everything! I was in the quantum age. Idk how many millions of research I had but I was so close to transcendence which is an incredible feat! Plus I had 1 billion alien artifacts, 1 billion uranium, 1 billion steel, and aluminum. Not to mention the galactic trade I had billions of dollars worth in trades pending! And like 300 million alien relics and instructions too.
I wasn't hoarding this I was helping out many new players too. But I got on today and it said save file corrupted. I clicked on my colony which was named (Oliver Colony) multiple times in confusion. Each time it said "Save File Corrupted" then it seemed to self delete. On top of this my recovery file is MISSING! Please I'm not sure if anything can be done but it is really disappointing that this killed and wiped my only main colony off.

Also I was very active. When I created that colony a few weeks ago or maybe even a month. I was active daily.

I saved 2 times and then I save and quit the game and as soon as I wanted to load my game its my game save corrupted file I was playing in average card in LIS mode in an asteroid world I am in version 0.47 .0 and I play my colony on google chrome my pc is windows 10
Before my accounts's data was corrupted *cough* soft ban *cough*, I was well on my way to being on this list (might be only one with a phone processor). I was putting on almost 100k people a day before i was "corrupted". I needed 100s of millions in resources to fund this growth. Admittedly, i was one of the quintillionaites made by putting ridiculous postings. I always though it was the galactic emperor buying it to manipulate the stargate prices or something . Let the market tell me when to stop adding zeros i figured. Nobody made it to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000+ without this boost. If backup data for my account exists, maybe send me a copy.
In order to get to max population with a phone, my buildings had to focus on storage, jobs, and the ability to make huge trades to pay for all the expansion (warehouses, housing and investment banks). If i clogged my system making my own materials, my feeble phone processor will never make it.
With the new GBT rules this strategy will not be possible. This game has been fun and all, but i wont be able to play with the pc players at the top end. As soon ad i knew there was a leaderboard, i wanted on it.

I have been playing this file for a few months now and have about a dozen charters. I went to log in and it says "file corrupted!" It is an online save. Is there anything i can do?
Hi!
I had a request for a diplomatic mission. I accepted it cos I thought it couldn't do any harm and I like making friends. Then the game saved (without me telling it to) and now my game file says it's corrupted. Did someone just hack me? And, if so, is my phone now compromised as well? I wasn't aware such things could be done with this game. I've deleted the game from my phone and will delete all files as well.
Have I been hacked and is my phone now compromised?

Hello everyone, I've tryed to renamy my colonists into Cyrillic names on Russian Language, and the "game" "show" this names (like Привет), but after, I cant save the game, and cant load this game, because "the save file is corrupted".
I've make another colony, and make backup, after that I rename my colonists, make a new save and off cause "save is corrupted".
I've tryed back it up from backup, but "clean backup, without cyrillic" still dont work, and I think, If I rename my colonists to "other lang", this info writing to .mcb file, and making errors besides have I this backup or not :)
PS I've tryed to make Capital, and rename one of the person to "Vladimir Putin" for "kill" him after )) this is funny, because Volodya is my "girl" ;)

Hi, i have a colony wich got like 5000 people and 2.2 milion iron but when the game was saving it just froze. So i closed my colony and i restarted it, but everytime when i want to open my world it says: 'Save File Is Corrupted'. I spent hours in this world so i don't want to lose my world in my colony, does anyone know how i can fix this? and how i can open my world?
Well I hate to tell you that "Save File Corrupted" almost always means that a save did not go through completely and is missing half of it's compressed data. Which means there is pretty much no way to recover the file :-/
Okay, @bastecklein i made a new colony yesterday and i growth it to 250 people or something and it was automatically saving, but it just didn't do anyting it keep saying: Saving. So i closed My Colony and restarted it and it says Safe file corrupted again, so the cause is probably that the automatically saving sometimes freezes.

Same, also on pc the first time it happened i had like 5000 people in my colony
Did I read federations ?
Edit : compressing a creative map took a very long time, at least way more than it used to.
Edit 2 : save file corrupted after quiting chrome and launching it back
Edit 3 : I selected "load game.." and then the corrupted save, and it loaded normally.
Edit 4 :) Streaming is working fine but we don't see the menus
Edit 5 : Can we have an API for the colonies currently streaming ? I could query each one individually but that wouldn't be very efficient for sure. So an API returning a list would be great!

Xanadu said:Have had another regional city corruption. But, this time it wasn't corrupted after a hanging save (although hanging saves are still happening).
Steps:
In one regional city.
Choose to move to the regional map.
See the game save the current city.
Successfully arrive at the regional map.
Tried to go back into the same regional city.
City is corrupted and won't allow me in.
I just had the same situation. My main city in my zolarg region has saved when going back to the region screen, but then I could not go back in.
I tried to reload the region, then to reload the whole game, but the main city is still blocked.
The second city on that region remains accessible.
I have a backup of my files from a few days ago, but I don't know which file contains the said city, since they get a numeric name...
Hello,
today I tried to play my save (created on Android version) on my desktop but couldn't, it says that game file is corrupted.
I exported it from the Android version via Game Data -> Backup Game File, then transfered via FTP and tried to import.
When I manually placed the .mcz file in My Colony directory in Documents it said that the save is corrupted when I tried to load it.
When I tried to import it via in-game menu it was stuck on Attempting to restore backup.
I tried both the classic desktop version and Windows Store version (this one shows info about corrupt save even when I import via in-game menus).
The Android app version is 0.75.1, the desktop app version is 0.75.0.
I played this game a year ago or so and had some saves which I deleted. Now every time I start the game, the files get recreated with zero file size, I don't know if this is related any way but I find it strange.
Are there any other locations where My Colony stores some data so that I could delete it all and try to start fresh?
Thanks.
today I tried to play my save (created on Android version) on my desktop but couldn't, it says that game file is corrupted.
I exported it from the Android version via Game Data -> Backup Game File, then transfered via FTP and tried to import.
When I manually placed the .mcz file in My Colony directory in Documents it said that the save is corrupted when I tried to load it.
When I tried to import it via in-game menu it was stuck on Attempting to restore backup.

Ashanorath said:Multithreaded Pathfinding was on, and the bug started occurring even when just deleting 2 buildings in a row, 1st one would be gone fine, 2nd one would just go invis.
Hmm, opening any preexisting maps in regions in the 0.78 in browser just gives me "save corrupted", hopefully someone else has more luck of actually testing if the fix works on existing maps.
I did however make a new map and did some building, deleting, selling and such for ~30min and the bug didn't happen, so it looks promising.
Which client were the corrupted saves made with? Was it by chance the Windows Store edition?
I originally posted something on this forum not too long ago about a red planet world infinite cleaning data whenever I tried saving, and no help has been brought towards that for a long enough while for me to have given up on it for long enough to start a new world in the meantime. I made a lunar world and it literally just corrupted and disappeared entirely when the game crashed from me trying to set the world as a cloud save so I can access it on my PC too to make backups, so this is very ironic. I'm about ready to give up on this game, because even though I love it I keep putting so many straight days of work into each world and they just get corrupted like nothing even happened and I can't even back up the data because it keeps saying there was an error and it won't ever let me accomplish backing it up. I also have enough screenshots to recreate everything I have in the world from scratch even though that's probably not for the best I don't know what is. My last successful backup of the lunar save was way too long ago for me to even want to redo it because it was like weeks ago. My red planet save has a backup that happened right after the corruption. My game tried restoring an emergency version of the lunar save but it took too long with my ipad being on low battery so it wasn't feasible. If I could just make proper backups of the game files myself as I should be able to this wouldn't be a problem, but it works not on PC nor mobile for me.
TL;DR: I'm losing patience with this game, I just want to be able to play but everything keeps corrupting from the smallest things happening that are no-where close to my fault and I have hundreds of screenshots. I also am not really receiving help from anybody on this matter which is why I'm losing patience with this.

I have a device which has both a colony and premium upgrade, i did many attempts in sending the colony file into another device including from SD card and via bluetooth, both of which ends up saying "save file corrupted" when i try to open it, i exported the file and imported back into the same device to see if it works, and it does, i need to know what im doing wrong or if there are other methods of transferring the colony file
Today i entered in my colony and when i tried to ope my save it says that it is corrupted, what can i do to solve it?
Hey, so I played my colony before you guys added online players.
So when I came back to the game and you can now communicate and interact with real players I was mind blown and excited.
I even bought the premium! I had roughly 10b coins. 12 million of storage for everything! I was in the quantum age. Idk how many millions of research I had but I was so close to transcendence which is an incredible feat! Plus I had 1 billion alien artifacts, 1 billion uranium, 1 billion steel, and aluminum. Not to mention the galactic trade I had billions of dollars worth in trades pending! And like 300 million alien relics and instructions too.
I wasn't hoarding this I was helping out many new players too. But I got on today and it said save file corrupted. I clicked on my colony which was named (Oliver Colony) multiple times in confusion. Each time it said "Save File Corrupted" then it seemed to self delete. On top of this my recovery file is MISSING! Please I'm not sure if anything can be done but it is really disappointing that this killed and wiped my only main colony off.

Im on the same situation as you. I play today the game and my game file (a colony called horas city/ciudad del horas, and online) was just corrupted. Now i will restart from 0 because i can't recovery the file and i don't backup it. Was not a big colony, but i spend in it almost 4 hours.. the devs are not working in nothing apparently.
AND I PLAY TODAY.
AND I PLAY TODAY.
I am (re-)playing your game since a couple of days and I saw there is interesting updates. So, good work, I wish you good luck with the next updates. Howether, I am playing in region mode and I have problems with this mode again. I precise that I am playing on a mobile phone.
So I propose to do a group shot with all the technical concerns that I could find (and I allow myself a few suggestions at the same time).
1-Corrupted save and region management :
First of all, I got a corrupt save file again. But at the difference of the last time, it's not during the game, but when I created the region that the problem occurs. This is probably due to a manipulation problem on my part, because having placed the region in the wrong place, I had to press the cancel button to try to abandon my action. However, the problem remains the same. And not only is the (large) region still in the wrong place, but I can no longer access it (see the blue part in the picture).
Suggestion : First of all, I propose to add a validation screen, before creating a new region, which avoids errors, as I did, by choosing for example a large region. Second, I suggest adding the option to delete a region. This allows in particular to delete part of the map, if it is corrupted, but not the rest of the map.
By doing this, there is a problem with resources. Cause delete and recreate a map can lead to infinite resources. You can choose to ignore it (cause the resources in the region mode are almost unlimited). Or we can make it so that recreating a new region on a section that has already served will only allow us to create empty maps.
2-Display bug :
Now, it's just a glitch concerning residential complex. Maybe due to their format (2x1). I precise that I have these configs : check the rendering distance:true (so I guess it's not related to that), render fpc cap:medium, update frequency:rare.
3-Salary :
I don't know if it's a bug, but when I am on a region map, the salary requested is that of the region where we are. So with a region with two inhabitants and a region with 1000, if it only takes into account the salary of the first region, it makes a little difference.
Salary management (in political choices) also seems to be managed by region (instead of being global), since the data recorded for one region is not valid for another. This can be defended. Still, I find it strange ...
P.S.: I mixed the two image files in one, cause I had problems attaching two different images.
