Problems loading old save file[0.9 - 0.12]

[Jaylbayt]

I'm trying to load up an old save to get some screenshots before the support dies out for it but the game keeps crashing on load.

Go to https://www.factorio.com/download/stable

Download the 0.9.8 (alpha) zip package.
Unzip it.
Drop your save in the saves folder.
Start the game (from the bin folder) and take your screenshots.

If you want to upgrade your save to play in 0.12, you will need to re-save with 0.10.12 or 0.11.22.

cool beans, thanks for the quick reply.

Can you share the save? It shouldn't crash, so we should probably fix it.
