Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 PC Crash Fix

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 may crash on PC when loading a save game, after prompting you that the save data is corrupted.

Fortunately, there is a backup folder for all save files in case they get corrupted. Here’s how you can restore your save files:

  1. Go to “C:Users[USERNAME]AppDataLocalLowRed Dot GamesCar Mechanic Simulator 2021Backup” folder on your hard drive
  2. Copy all the files in the Backup folder
  3. Go to “C:Users[USERNAME]AppDataLocalLowRed Dot GamesCar Mechanic Simulator 2021Save” folder
  4. Paste in all copied files into the Save folder

Now try to start the game and load your save files, and everything should be fine.

There are many reasons why save files get corrupted randomly, but one of the most common causes is the presence of custom game modifications that may disrupt some of the game’s system files.

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 Xbox One Crash Fix

Console players also report the game crashing bugs connected to the corrupted save files, but only on Xbox One console. The Xbox Series X/S users don’t have this game crashing issue.

If you’re experiencing the game crashing on Xbox One during gameplay, then consider the following:

  1. Change the difficulty mode from Normal to Expert or vice versa
  2. Save the new file on the new chosen difficulty mode
  3. Keep playing and saving the game only on the new mode

If you try to switch difficulty modes on different save files, then this may corrupt them and crash the game. So choose one new mode and don’t change it in the course of the game.

Another reason for corrupted save files on Xbox One console could be the issues with Microsoft servers. But in this case, all you can do is wait for them to fix these internal bugs.
