[zlib.error: Error -5 while decompressing data: incomplete or truncated stream]

[Colinwood11]

When I tried to migrate WINDOWS to LINUX, this error occurred. Is there a problem with my ZLIB dependency?

Thanks!

My situation is exactly the same as yours. I found that the data after the level.sav file is all 00, but it wasn't like this in the previously backed up level.sav file. So I think it's possible that the issue is caused by data loss in the level.sav file.

I'm also encountering this error, however my Level.sav does not appear to be missing any data. I'm also trying to convert from Windows, to Linux.

Edit: Re-downloaded my data, and did all the same steps. This time, it worked without the decompression errors. Can't really say why though.

Wait, I may have thought of something. When I downloaded the archive, the server did not stop! I'll try it again when I have time!

I think this was user error and it's been inactive for the last 5 days so I'm going to close it. Let me know if this error still exists and you're working on it and I'll reopen it.
