Game file corrupted. Help?

[Koi]

Last night my game was working perfectly. I was editing some events, made a new map, nothing out of the ordinary.

Then today, I try to open it up and it gives me this:

I'm really frustrated and upset and I have no idea what to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Create a new project and copy the rvproj2 file over.

Create a new project and copy the rvproj2 file over.

What exactly do you mean?

In the new game's folder there's a file called "Game.rvproj2".  Copy and paste that into your game's folder and see if that fixes it.

If it doesn't then it's likely some of your Data files are corrupt (usually the MapInfos or some of the MapXXX files).  If that's the case then I would make a New Folder in the Data folder and move files into that then start moving them back a few at a time then starting RPG Maker to see what files are causing the error.

This error usually occurs if you close the program while it's in the middle of saving or if your computer suddenly crashes.  Best way to prevent a bad situation if this happens is to make sure you properly save and close RPG Maker when quitting, and to create regular backups of your game.

I was getting a little help from someone earlier, and I apparently did something that screwed up the fixing process. I mixed up my data files with a really old version I had of the game, so now the new files are unsalvagable...

It's okay though, I suppose. I had given a fairly recent copy to my friend to betatest, and she sent it back to me. I worked all afternoon but I was able to redo what I had lost.

Thanks anyway, though.
