So I messed up pretty bad.
Ingame, I was pretty far along, I already had the garage in San Fierro, killed a certain traitor, blew up the coke factory, got the car wishlist, killed a certain pimp, and rode the monster truck, to give you an idea.
I went to save immediately after completing the lastest mission before the mission complete respect+ cash+ screen disappeared. The problem is, the game crashed midway through saving and when i reloaded, it gave me THE SAVEGAME IS CORRUPTED. Please check your save directory. I tried previous save files but the same message appeared. A little before this incident, textures during cutscreen stopped working and actual characters such as CJ, the garage employees, Kendl, Catalina, and Cesar were displayed. This has never happened before. (Additionally, I'm not sure if this is only on my game or others' too, but whenever I use nondirectional laser and turn it off while holding a weapon, the spell is still used even if it is off and results in the automatic death of Carl, regardless of his health.)
Previous save files work in the unmodded version of the game, but nothing works when I play the modded version. I attempted hacking the .exe changing the save directory and copying the saves over, but that didn't work either
As much as I'm anticipating the new version, I really don't want to start everything over again. Any help?
