Hey guys I need some help.

My 13 year old FM24 save got corrupted and I need help recovering it.

I saw on an old Steam thread that SI has previously helped fixing save files.

I've spent 250+ days on it so any help would be appreciated.

Here's a few screenshots of my save's history

Try “last save overwrite backup.fm”?

“I saw on an old Steam thread that SI has previously helped fixing save files.”

So, you may try… doesn't hurt anyway: https://community.sports-interactive.com/bugtracker/football-manager-2024-early-access-bugs-tracker/save-game-compatibility/

Looks like you never back up such an important file, so… do you have any system backup that happens to cover the save game folder?

P.S. The screenshots… don't really help anything at all.
