Saves will not load after multiplayer de-sync

[Dark_Lightning]

My friend and I were playing 11.15 when we found the nasty de-sync bug after connecting to the map.(https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=8462) When 11.16 came out we tried to get back in the game (same map). My friend tried to load the world and discovered after pressing the load button the game froze and did not respond. After a restart he entered the "load game" screen the game did not allow any further action (almost like a crash). Not sure why but he also encountered this non responsive behavior in single player "load game" menu.
I think the de-sync corrupted the multiplayer save. This caused him to somehow lose the ability to load any game.

Please help it would be greatly appreciated!
(Not sure if this is a small bug created by the fixing of 11.15 bug. )

Sounds more to a hardware or installation related problem. Reinstalled game?
