Trying to load an old save game fails

Jan Chris shared this feedback ago

Submitted

After some absent time from Space Engineers I would like to transfer some of my old designs into a new game.

I have tried to load old save games to make some blue prints of these old designs.

But every old save game is refused to be loaded. I guess the save game format has changed. But even an ingame conversion fails, although the game informs about the conversion attempt.

The error message mentions a wrong XML format, especially it doesn't like unsigned long values in the old save game.

The same error occurres if I try to load an old blue print from the steam work shop.

Maybe you already know about this problem and can give me a hint how to recover my old designs.

If needed I can supply the error log tomorrow ( writing this report on my smart phone )

I like this feedback

Complete error log attached.

I don't know, if there will be more errors in the case this specific one is handled.
