Yes it wasn't recognizing it even without spaces and all manner of crap I tried...no idea what the deal is
Whether or not you have the map or any mods should not matter. If you don't have the map and you try to load the save, the game just crashes IIRC. But you can still see and try to load the save.
My gut feeling is that Dom4 doesn't recognize that as your save directory. Basic troubleshooting for this:
- Start Dom4. Go to "Game Tools," and click the "Open User Data Directory" option on the very bottom. Open the "savedgames" folder.
- Confirm that the .trn file from Llamaserver is in a subfolder with basic characters and no spaces (as noted above). If it's not there, you've found your problem. Move the save and map to this Dom4 directory.
If that checks out fine but you still can't load the game, this is what I'd do next:
- Create a new game. Doesn't matter what you call it, although I'm fond of descriptive names such as "a", "b", and "test". Start it up, save and exit. Repeat Step 1 above.
- Make sure there's a subfolder for the game you just created.
- Copy that folder and name the new folder something truly unique like "a2". See if that shows up in the "Load Game" menu.
If something goes wrong with that second set of steps, back up your saves and maps and run a full uninstall and re-install of Dom4. It's possible that something's not communicating right, like a registry entry got wiped or something.
If all of that works fine, then it's almost certainly a problem with the .trn file. There's a rare bug where Llamaserver may send out a corrupt .trn file. IIRC to fix a corrupted file, the admin would need to change Lanka's e-mail address to a 3rd party or himself, trigger Llamaserver to resend the turns, then whoever got the .trn file forwards it to you. And obviously change the e-mail back to you afterwards.
