460+ hours in, all 3 auto saves fail with same error message too - is there anything that can be done??

I've disabled all mods, same error.

Sorry, logs too!

Any advice or "no mate, it's dead" reply will put my mind at ease!

I have no idea what exact value was expected to be in its place so i cut all the decoratives from the chunk at position [gps=2784,-768]. Without the decoratives data on this particular chunk the save file seems to be loading fine.

affected chunk

Fixed save file:

I fixed this save file as an exception to maybe get some insight into some bug however there was no insight gained from this.

THANK YOU!

Confirmed it's loading, I'm very grateful for the fix @boskid, I'll be porting to a new PC and adopting a more robust manual save cadence from hereon

If it helps, those co-ords aren't actually revealed on map...

Again, thanks.
