Loading bar goes all to the right and then there is a dialogue box in Windows in the Background reporting the crash.

Using 0.18.1 vanilla. Not a single mod installed.

It seem to have the same problem with all my 0.17 savegames. Loading a really old version (of the same game) from 0.16 does work however. I would loose ~200h ingame hours of work though...

It seems game state of your save was corrupted by a bit flip, and the corruption is discovered only by consistency check that's ran when migrating the save (eg. due to update of the game or changes in mods - it would crash in 0.17.79 if you enabled andy mod and tried to load the save).

I didn't see any other instances of this crash in our collected crash log, so I don't think it was caused by a bug in the game but rather by random bit flip.

I think I can repair the save, if you'd like.

It works - Thank you so much!

I came to the conclusion that Factorio is not only the best game in years, they also have the best staff.
Keep up the great work!
