This isn't apaprently the same problem as the post below. When I started Steam up I saw that it was downloading a sizeable update for Sunless Sea (10/4 at about 5:00 pm) that I don't find any recent notes for. I played a bit of the game, all was well until I docked into port at Fallen London and then tried to submit my port reports. It gives me an error regarding 'cannot restore backup' and a message to contact Failbetter with the error. Then it crashes. Any game I start now crashes whenever the game tries to do an autosave. Any help?

As it said, contact Failbetter with the error (sunlesssea@failbettergames.com)

Perhaps try uninstalling the game and then reinstalling? I don't *think* that removes the game files (including saves) but you might want to make copies of them just in case.

I've already verified the downloaded files with Steam. FB got back to me, it is a corrupted save file. I will try to restore it from a backup file. Hopefully I haven't experimented too much in examining the error and can save my game. 14th captain and finally I've been able to get into the mid/late game.
