@ubi-karl same happened for me, wanted to add something to my post but I can't view it anymore... can you fix it for me too please?

@farmmanofficial I bought the History Collection about a week ago and downloaded it
I'm not talking about the Closed Beta of the newest Settlers, but about Settlers 4 which was first released in 2004

Hey everyone,
I just played the 4th Settle-Mission where you have to cleanse the desert spots with priests and plant a lot of trees on them.
Unfortunately the game crashed with a "fatal error" message like it often does, and when I wanted to load my last autosave it said "Game cannot be started".
My last manual save is from yesterday evening when I have just cleaned and planted one spot, with the current autosave I was almost done...
Is there any way to repair the autosave? Or do I have to bite the bullet and start over from yesterday evening?
I'd appreciate any help, thanks in advance!
