Greetings.

I send you some savegames that I'm unable to load in the hope they can help you if they were caused by a bug and perhaps if possible to restore the latests save.

Are they all of the same map?
Has/Have the map/maps been created in a 0.12 version or earlier originally?

Yes - All are from the same map created in v.0.13.10 after mapgen update.
Last played on v.0.13.11 but reverting to this version does not help.

Do you have any steps to reproduce the map corruption?

Sorry - no test performed.
I remember setting up more rails for coal, but no specifics.
(Edit) I have now tried to reproduce the corruption to no avail. Sorry again.

We looked at your save file(s) and all of the corrupt ones are that: corrupt.

1 bit was flipped in all of the save files which causes the loading to fail because it tries to load too much/to little data and everything after that goes wrong.

1 bit flipped indicates you have memory corruption on your computer. I suggest you try something like this http://www.memtest.org/ to find out which stick(s) are bad and get them replaced.

Thanks.
The memtest program did indeed reveal a single bit error. Your diagnostic skills are spot on.
Sorry for wasting your valuable time on a local hardware issue.
