help with saving

Hi!

I'm having trouble loading my saved game in Factorio. When I try to load any save file, the game [crashes to desktop / freezes indefinitely / shows error message].

What I've tried so far:

Verifying game files integrity via Steam

Disabling all mods (for modded saves)

Trying older saves (do they work?)

Reinstalling the game (kept saves folder)

Can you upload the save file either here as an attachment or somewhere like dropbox, google drive, one drive? It sounds like the save file is corrupt - either due to a cosmic bit flip, or failing hardware. However, even if it was corrupt it should not be crashing the game.

I can send a Google Drive link. The most interesting thing is that even after reinstalling the game, errors still pop up in 4 save files.
