Corrupt save file(s)
I fear this might not be a bug, but I will post it anyway. In the hopes of someone being able to help and me not losing my map :'(
Was going to continue my current game after saving it last night. And now I can't load the save, it crashes the game.
Same with one of the autosaves, while the other 2 just hangs at about 30-40% on the loading bar and I have to end the process through task manager after a while.

I have attached the logs and save files in question. Log files:

Seems like I had a bad RAM stick. So that is probably what corrupted my game.
Sorry if I wasted anyones time.

That's the common cause of corrupt saves these days.

Because this game is just too damn solid.

Time to make a new bug report:
