Dovetail Live Scenario Planner - Data Load Issue Solved (sort Of)

I have installed the free version of TSW5 on my PC (Steam) and have transferred my TSW4 profile. Most things are working OK (e.g. my mastery record seems fine) but for some reason when I try to open one of the many scenarios I have produced I get "Scenario planner save data could not be loaded". It still gives me the option to Edit and when I click on this all the services I have included in a particular scenario are there so it must have loaded something so not sure why I am getting this error?

Any assistance will be gratefully received.

Thanks Gary Jones.

 

I have discovered that I need to re-edit the scenario details as it has forgotten the scenario start time and also the service allocated to the player (go into edit timetable and save then exit). All other services within the scenario do not need editing thank goodness. Not sure why this has happened to all my scenarios but at least i have found a way forward which should only cost me about an hour or two of editing to get them all back. If DTG didn't keep releasing a new version each year but instead just provided updates then we wouldn't have to go through this sort of palaver each time (restoring profiles, downloading all the DLCs again, repairing broken scenarios, etc).

 

You didn't move the files manually, did you? How did you get your scenarios in TSW5?

 

No I haven't copied any files manually at all. I have been able to access all my scenarios once I upgraded to TSW5 and selected my profile so I assume they are stored as part of my profile? All the details are there but for some reason I had to do the edits I highlighted above to get TSW5 to allow me to actually run them.. Not sure why I had the problem but thanks for your input.
