Error message when trying to reload a Wherigo cartridge

February 23, 2026, 11:44:24 AM

Hi there

We could use some help please? Hubby and I went out this morning to complete a Wherigo, one that could be completed anywhere, as a precursor to a full series. We've worked with Wherigo before, both in the original app and, more recently, in Geooh GO so we knew what we were doing. At each stage I saw a message flash up that it was being autosaved, however, we ran out of time to finish it before we had to be somewhere else. I have now tried to reload it but get the error message "There was a problem loading the cartridge. If resuming a saved game, be sure it was previously saved with WheriGO" The cartridge then loads but has reset to no progress.

Could anyone help us figure out what the issue is please? I loaded a previously completed cartridge to check if it was a global issue, but that loaded fine and all the data was there. I am using a Samsung S22+ with Android 16 installed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Jacqui (Mrs BG)

I'm not sure what the issue is other than during the save something got corrupted or the cartridge has something unsaveable. Geooh uses an open source software (that other Android wherigo players also use) which performs the saves. If the other cartridges save/restore properly, then I suspect more of a special case problem than generally for all wherigos.

Thank you so much for your help. We'll try again but give ourselves enough time to finish so we don't need to reload the cartridge
