So, not sure if doing something wrong or what. I originally played this game on Android last year and backed up from saves from then. Now I reinstalled it on another android device and moved my backed up saves to the save folder. Every time I try to load those saves, it crashes. Am I going to have to start over?
Previous android device was on Android 12 and so is the current android device
It looks like you moved the files to the wrong location, or didn't grab everything you needed to. The engine is attempting to find something that it expects to be a zip file, and it isn't.
That being said, it might be something else, but the important information is actually at the bottom of the traceback (that image you screenshotted) :P So if you could show me the entire traceback that would help to narrow down the issue.
Okay, well this is weird because the code appears to be trying to pull from the Linux build..? Which if you're on Android, and not using any apps like JoiPlay, doesn't make any sense.
All I can really suggest at this point is to make sure that you did in fact copy everything from:
Android/data/com.domain.corruptedkingdoms/saves
And that you're putting everything back into that exact folder, with no extra subfolders or nesting or anything going on.
Failing that, completely uninstalling the game (making sure to keep your old saves) and reinstalling it again might clear up whatever the issue is...
Sorry I can't be more help, but this is something happening on an engine level, not a game level, and my knowledge of the underlying Ren'py code is practically non-existent :P
Huh. That's definitely weird. Well, all I did, when I had the previous phone, was back up the save files. Just the save files.
Actually, I think I found the reason for this mess...
Looking at the files where I backed them up, they are 0KB big. So something seems to have messed up when I uploaded them.
Guess I'll just have to start over 😅
I appreciate you trying to help, though!
Oof, yeah, the 0kb thing means they got corrupted during transfer somehow - that's a shame!
If you don't feel like starting again, you can jump into the CK Discord Server; there's a start-of-Act-Three pinned in the #game-chat channel :)
