Are you on 64bit system with compressed saves enabled?

Does it not show the region in either the "Start Playing" or "Continue Playing" screens?

Compressed saves is enabled, I read about that a few moments ago so i disabled it.
The world does not show at all in any screen,start playing and continue playing included.

Download link to world ^
I believe it is the world.SAV file that is corrupted

EDIT: I would like to save the world in any form possible, even if i have to abandom the fortress itself...

I would think this one is different than report 2017 because i cant even see my save in the loading screen.

Please edit existing notes instead of posting multiple notes in a row.

Your report is appreciated, but corrupted saves are not recoverable.

My guess is that your problem is the same as 0002017, and that the save may disappear entirely depending on what files get corrupted.

Also, please upload your save to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^] and post the link here. Mediafire takes files down quickly.

The save on DFFD is gone, but the Mediafire save is not compressed.

However, that save is unrepairable - world.sav consists of 10872032 bytes, all of which are 0x00.
