[2.1.17] Crash loading 2.0.77 save (Entity::militaryTargetUpdateChunk)

save file has mods some aren't updated. when loading world on 2.1.17 whether syncing mods or not game crashes on "running entity setup"

reproduce-able every time but only on this save file.
any other save works normally

Thanks for the report however this indicates a corrupt save file - historically every case of this error has been traced to bit flips in entity positions due to failing/failed RAM.

You’ll want to verify that the hardware is addressed or it will likely keep happening on future saves.

hey. im really not trying to be rude but i just bought brand new ram about 2 months ago im not that technical in terms of crashes but is that the only thing that causes it? nothing else on my pc in general seems to crash. thanks for the reply though

After buying new RAM you need to test it, to make sure its error-free, and working correctly in your machine.
Go to https://memtest.org/ download and run this program from USB stick overnight. Check for errors after full night of testing, there should be none.

Brand new hardware can unfortunately be defective viewtopic.php?p=703400#p703400

running mem test now

but since i am able to load other saves is it not just a corrupt save. Thanks for the replys btw

EDIT. kinda fixed it had to make a copy of the world with no mods and then launch 2.1.77 with no mods and i can play. so was a mod issue maybe? or save idk
