Problem with a saved game crashing


Question

Hi,

I'm playing the old Championship Manager 3 00/01 game and I'm getting errors in every version of Windows when I try to save any game I am playing. I have not tried creating a new game and play it and saving yet, but I've played as far as 2046 with one of my games and I'll be gutted if I cannot play any further!

When I get the error, it just asks me to send the error report to MS and that's it. After I click send (or don't send) the game closes. When I go to load the game again, I see a temp_save_file in the list of save games.

I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game on numerous platforms (Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista and 7), both on a physical PC and in a virtual environment. I still get the same errors.

Anyone know of any way I can interogate the error that is displayed so I can figure out a way round this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

P. I can't save games.

S. Right-click your Championship Manager 01/02.exe, click properties and enable "Run as administrator"

If that doesn't work, check out where the game stores its savegames on the harddisk and check if you have full permissions on the folder.

    • It's not about the amount of work. How can you not know that? Game companies charge what the market will bear, not based on what it cost to make. The market will clearly bear any price for a Mario series game because of the huge number fans across many decades. I don't expect Outer Worlds 2 to support that price point with matching huge sales numbers. I guess we'll know soon enough at release.
    • Windows 10 KB5060534, KB5060532, KB5060530, KB5060529 recovery updates released by Sayan Sen Microsoft this week released Patch Tuesday updates for the month of June 2025 on Windows 10 (KB5060533 / KB5060531 / KB5061010 / KB5060998) and Windows 11 (KB5060842, KB5060999). Alongside that dynamic updates for Windows 10 were also published. This time there were no such updates for Windows 11 which is quite rare. Dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, also called Safe OS updates, as well as to the Setup binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. These packages include fixes to Setup.exe binaries, SafeOS updates for Windows Recovery Environment, and more. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. Only recovery updates were released. The changelogs are given below: KB5060534: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 10: June 10, 2025 KB5060532: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 10, version 21H2 and 22H2: June 10, 2025 KB5060530: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 10, version 1809 and Windows Server 2019: June 10, 2025 KB5060529: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 10, version 1607 and Windows Server 2016: June 10, 2025 Microsoft notes that the updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel. You can also avail them manually on Microsoft's Update Catalog website: KB5060534, KB5060532, KB5060530, and KB5060534.
    • Hello, I didn't see any replacements listed at https://lian-li.com/product-category/accessories/, but they do have a contact page at https://lian-li.com/contact-us/.  I suspect reaching out to them would produce further information about the availability of a replacement.  Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I used to always use the WPD app, but I dont really trust it anymore since it hasnt had updates in a long time. Funny thing is, I recently came across a tool literally called 'Crapfixer' and it looks exactly like CrapCleaner 😅 You should check it out, its on GitHub
