You need to be more specific.
Were you using locomod on that saved game?
Anything you modded recently that could have corrupted it?
Let the good times roll!

It means you are missing brdgcaus.dat. I think it is a causeway bridge found on the Loco fanpage/Wisim but I cannot find it in the datcrawler.
Very much a retired regular poster..... If you can say that :mrgreen:

I guess you might be missing content from your previous save.

Awesometrains..
I've told you twice about it now. Enough of the constant capitalisation of text. Also stop making certain words larger.

We can all read what you say perfectly fine, there's no need to leave your caps lock on or enlarge certain words.
No one else is doing it, so don't do it yourself.

Behave, and show some consideration and respect to your fellow members please.
Thank you.

Did you install your game in c:\Program Files (or something similar) with an elevated right? Then trying to play the game without the elevated right, and trying to save in c:\Program Files? And unprivileged users on your PC is prevented from modifying/writing to anywhere in your Locomotion folder/subfolders?

Even if you didn't install it in Program Files, I'd check the folder permissions.

Probably because the members who were trying to help are trying to narrow down the problem. In fact, I've not seen a message telling you how to load games. Members are perfectly capable of 'actually reading' (as you put it) what you are saying.
Rather ironically, you have not proved capable of that so far as I had addressed your behaviour no less than twice and you ignored it focusing on something I'd said in the first line.

Now, if you wouldn't mind.. Could you modify your posts here accordingly to be a bit more polite and stop with this ridiculous capitalisation of text? As well as take note of what I have spoken to you about in our PMs.
If it happens again, I'll simply put a lock on this topic without a second thought and others if deemed appropriate. I do hope we're now clear on this situation and your behaviour, and it is the last time anything will need to be addressed.

Thank you for your understanding.

I could see why you would want to save it in a specific folder, but most Chris Sawyer-made games get a little temperamental when you don't leave everything in its original folder. If you just save it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Locomotion\Single Player Saved Games then you should have no trouble.
