[Solution] Fix various errors caused by corrupted saves

[Nick Thomadis]

Do you have ship weight errors, invalid design errors, components not activating, technology order issues, stats data not displaying consistently or even crashes and unwanted turn delays in campaign?

There can be various issues caused by new mechanics introduced after a new patch, especially after a major update. As the game is still actively developed, such issues are to be expected.

More than 80% of errors reported are caused by a small or major corruption of save data. While this can be overcome in a few turns in an ongoing campaign, in custom battles and naval academy it can be a consistent problem for a saved ship design. We recommend you to clean up your saves if you notice problems that persist.

Go to:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Game Labs\Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts

and do the following actions according to your needs:

• Clean up your saved designs in Naval Academy:
  Delete file mission_data.json
   
• Clean up your saved battles of both Naval Academy or Custom Battles:
  Delete file savedBattles.json
   
• Clean up your campaign:
  Just start a new campaign or delete file save_0.json
   
• If your game does not start, you have crashes and resolution problems etc.:
  Delete file settings.json Warning: This action will unfortunately delete your Naval Academy progress, so you might want to back up the file first)
