Summary0002998: Savegame corruption - Compressed file error
DescriptionNot sure what happened. I saved the game and then clicked continue playing.

I tried replacing all of the .dat files in save/region2 (borked) with ones from a known working backup folder. No luck. I tried replacing the raw folder. Nothing. I finally replaced just the world.sav file and things worked, but I was back to the state of the older, working save.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationError message: One of the compressed files on disk has errors in it. Restore from backup if you are able.

See 0002017. You can probably avoid these crashes by turning off COMPRESSED_SAVES.
