"Error while loading map"

[Celeribouilli]

Every time I start a new game it works fine and I can load it for a few times until it stops working. It says "Error while loading map" and here are the details:
I have been desinstalling the game before to solve the issue but it didn't work.

Thank for the help

Hi,

hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 180893, position 14.

mosttimes this happen when your safegame got corrupt in a way.
Did you turn the power off your mashine right after/during a safeprocess or did you got a powerfailure ?
That can lead that the file isn't complete writen to your volume and become corrupt.

Even permadeath games got a backup. Go into the folder with the safegames and look for it. You need to rename the ending into .rws

Renaming the file works!
Maybe I turn off my computer too quickly after having saved and left the game. I'll try to be slower and see if the problem reoccurs.
Thanks

You shouldn't turn off your mashine manualy. So far i know any OS got a shutdown option.
That is the safe way to turn it off.
