Corrupted files

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 now only store as .gto2.

Key improvements:

  • Enhanced compression: roughly three times better than before, resulting in smaller savefiles and faster load times.
  • Corruption handling: 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.
