So, I've been really enjoying Zelda Classic, but my save files keep getting corrupted. Here is a screenshot of the error:

This has happened a few times before, and it's starting to get very frustrating because I'm not sure what's causing it, if it's a user error, a problem with the software, a problem with installation, or whatever else it may be. I'm wondering if anybody knows if I can recover my save, or at least knows what is causing the issue in the first place. Thanks.

Are you using the newest version of ZC?

Actually, I'm not 100% sure. The launcher says 'Zelda Classic Launcher 2.5.5' although that may just be the launcher's version.

When was the latest release?

You've most likely got 2.50.0. The latest is 2.50.2 (which comes with Launcher version 2.5.7). Here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ealno4vxo7y43fq/zc-2-50-2-win.zip

The usual cause of save file corruption has to do with the window closing before the game's actually finished shutting down. The current version doesn't do that, so hopefully you won't have any problems with it.

Thanks! I suppose I just gotta do everything I've already done again, but at least I know it won't happen again.

Hmm... I noticed that quite a few users claim that 2.50.2 isn't on zeldaclassic.com. Is that correct? If so, might you be able to pop 2.50.2 up there, so that we can get people off of 2.50.1?
