After today's big (600 megs) update of the game (factorio server files were updated and service was restarted) and playing for a couple hours (yes the problem occurred few hours after the update) I was in the middle of setting up an array of assembly machines and I noticed the usual autosave green progress bar and instead of going away as usual after a second or two it stopped and then I got a message that server was not responding and another green progress bar appeared.
Next the game asked me to save the file but when the "Save file" window popped up - the game crashed.

When I restarted the game I have noticed that I was unable to load the save I tried to create prior to crash.
Game created a unusable Server.tmp.zip (attached) which was gave error when I tried to load it from the local saves.

What else could I add... Game client is on Windows 11 24H2, its fully upgraded - its the steam version.
Server is a virtual machine (based in Proxmox) and its fully updated Debian 12 with 2 cores and 4 gigs of ram allocated. Till this morning I never experienced a problem and I've spend 200+ hours in game (I know its not a lot lot but its quite a bit).
Oh I forgot to add - no mods are in use.
Please do not hesitate to ask for more details.
Thank you in advance for all help provided.
I apologise in advance for any typos or unclear statements.
Kindest regards.
