Here is the logfile and the save (I didn't update the name since 0.12.25). It loads until roughly a third -- then the crash message pops up and I have to force quit.
Also would it be possible to automatically replace the home-folder in the log file with '~' (or I guess '%AppData%' for Windows) for privacy?

Please explain this to me again:

You started the map with 12.25 or.35?
Did you never save it with 13.0, 13.1 or 13.2?
The save you uploaded, is it the migrated save to 13.3?
If you still have the .12 and the .13.3 version of the save please upload both.

No, the migration failed for all of 0.13.x
The last save of the map is 0.12.35 and I started the map some time before 0.12.25 (I kept updating the name until 0.12.25)

I cannot load the save with 12.35 either, so the file got corrupted in .12 at some point.

Weird, it worked before updating to 0.13.0 -- now it doesn't anymore (just tested as well to rule out a corrupt file upload). Does factorio write to the file while loading?
Well, I guess I have to start a new map then Thanks for your time.

I don't think it does during normal loading, but it might during migrating, which could be considered a bug in itself. It could be possible to recover it, but as busy as the devs are right now this would take a while...

Loading a save file never changes the save file so if it's corrupt in 0.12.35 then that might be what's causing the issue.

0.12.35 should not get corrupted at all. I'll take a look at your save.

I finally got to your issue and recover the save: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bcsqj4zydnbzx ... d.zip?dl=0
We have seen this issue before, but we were not able to figure out what is causing it. And we still don't know.

Awesome -- thank you so much
