Saves still get corrupted on occasion in the current version.  Not a whole lot you can do beyond hope the autosave still works or start over when it happens.

You will find the game log in the root directory of Whore Master - it's called gamelog.txt.

To make sure you installed correctly, you needed to download the following:

Whore Master 1.23 beta

Patch to 1.29 beta

Patch to 1.29.4 beta

Patch to 1.29.4.6 beta

Unzip the 1.23 beta file to your desired destination directory for Whore Master, say c:\Program Files\Whore Master\ (herein referenced as the root directory).

Unzip the patch to 1.29 into the WM root directory, overwriting any duplicates.

Unzip the patch to 1.29.4 and copy the contents of the resulting folder into the WM root directory, overwriting any duplicates.

Unzip the patch to 1.29.4.6 into the WM root directory, overwriting any duplicates.

Now everything should work.  If it still doesn't, attach a copy of the gamelog.txt file and a saved game from the "Saves" directory (just the .gam file, not the .gam.mast file).  I'll try to duplicate the problem with the saved games.

[edit]

Alternatively, you can download and unzip the fully patched zip file I posted over in the downloads section (here)

Well, I can confirm that your save doesn't load.  Is it a save file from an older version of the game?  Saved games from previous versions are not compatible with newer patched versions.

I encountered the same problem in the past. What I do is delete the old save before I make a new save. Cumbersome, perhaps, but it works.

This save works fine for me, do you still have the same problem?

The game will write over old saves, you just can't load saves from previous versions.
