Just got Rimworld, played the tutorial, then started a colony set to permadeath. No mods, just Core. Played a bunch yesterday, quit to OS and then loaded several times without issue. Today I attempted to load my save. Received the error "Error while loading a map." My version of the game was purchased from the Ludeon site and activated in Steam. I have had no other issues. I can still load the autosave from my tutorial game without issue. I verified game cache in Steam, no joy. I deleted all local files and reinstalled through Steam, no joy. Any thoughts? Here's my output log:
