Bad allocation problem.

Hello, i have recently acquired a copy of factorio and i have been happily playing it for a while.
Now, i have a problem. I actidentally died in a game of mine (i was 10 hours in, really didn't expect it to happen) and now everytime i try to load ANY save from that game it provides me with the error "bad allocation". Simple error, no crash dump as far as i checked and it also crashes my game (it crashes to desktop without any further notice).

This is really pesky and i hope i am not the only one experiencing this...
Thanks in advance!

Can you post a link to the save game? Are there no healthy auto-saves to load?

I have mostly relied on the autosaves to play the game, and i unfortunately have already overwritten all the autosaves. Although i do have a really old savegame, that i cannot load. Also, in the new map i started i can load the saves easily. This save, i cannot load from the problematic map.

Darn, cant add it as attachment. http://www.girlshare.ro/33582268.5

I'm getting the same error. Are you using any mods? The only result that came up on the forumsearch was people using a mod, but that was 6 months ago :)

No, playing only base for the last while, but my guess right now is that the map itself became corrupt. Anyways, i have already started another playthrough, but thanks anyways!

I find a way to fix this problem:

go to your folder Roaming in Windows 7+ (%appdata% as command in RUN windows (Win+R) or in CMD). Find folder "factorio". Copy folder saves in it to another folder. Clear folder factorio (delete all files and filder in it). Run Fatorio game and exit. copy folder "saves" back in "factorio". RUN game
