Help!! I lost my quick save game!

[Sirwolf]

Hi all,
The other day I played for a bit and then saved. My game crashed while saving. Now all there is is a header for the quick save, but when I try to load it the green bar goes for a few sec then stops. I checked the saved files and found the header file but no game file. Problem is last hard save was about 3 - 4 weeks ago, and I've been busy in Gothic 3. Any Ideas?

Maybe the save is still in the recycle bin !

You could try this:
Go to the savegame folder, there is a QuickSave.g3sav, probably with the size of 0 KB.
Now you copy one of the other .g3sav (i.e. G3_World_01_001.g3sav) files out of the folder (somewhere, i.e. desktop).
Now rename it to QuickSave.g3sav and copy it back to the savegame-folder (overwriting the defect (0 KB)-file.
Now you will have the wrong date at this savegame, but it should work again.
