Corrupted files
As of version 178, we have changed our savefile format from .gto to .gto2.
GTO+ can still load old .gto savefiles, but will only store as .gto2.
One major improvement is enhanced compression—roughly three times better than before.
This leads to smaller savefiles and faster load times.
Another key enhancement is a new method for detecting and working around partial savefile corruption.
The .gto2 format subdivides the savefile into sections, each with its own simplified SHA checksum.
If a section fails its checksum, it is considered corrupted and will be skipped during loading.
If a corrupted section is detected, it will be automatically bypassed.
After loading completes, a notification dialog will appear (if appropriate) to indicate which data was skipped.
