So, my game throws "Error while loading map" when trying to load a save. I tried looking into it, but I can't make sense of it.

Save file:
https://mega.nz/#!GSx2lShL!ER_huWLbH76oHIScNslFcp7OQnTuZhBgAZDMZiSMQC8
Error log:
https://mega.nz/#!THxkBJLA!RqaXd2v4OIiHnrOIe6Li9uTVtFJmcmAROdnuJEYYPwI

Edit: Error somehow resolved itself :D

Mega uses a decryption key for their links, and also allows you to post download link with and without said decryption key. The links you have posted are the latter, meaning nobody can download them without the key. But you should be able to post your log file as an attachment (which is always the preferred option). Even if it's too large to attach it should easily zip down below the limit.

I'm also moving this to mod bugs for now, because the vast majority of broken saves are due to mods. So I'm going to assume that for now (it can always be moved back if you are playing vanilla).

Some map loading errors are due to incomplete save files, such as what happens when the game fails to save properly (such as when a crash occurs when saving). Map loading errors can also mean the map data simply isn't contained in the save file (due to saving error), in which case the chances of you recovering the save is zero. Not that the odds of recovering any save are that great to begin with.
