"Save game is corrupt and cannot be loaded"

Load Game Error
The save game is corrupted and cannot be loaded.
Debug Info: v15.15b setup..cpp 1658 (load_game_data(): unable to unpack the temporary files)
This is usually caused either by errors during saving or bad sectors on the hard-disk.

Was playing the other night and saved the game as I normally do. Then updated my game to 15.15 and my save was not showing up in the Load Game menu. I typed in the name of the save and it returned this message.

Has anybody else had this issue? Is there a fix?

Thanks for any advice

My saves load fine. Did that happen to all your saves or just one?

If just one save was corrupted, then I'm afraid that might be the same problem that used to happen with EHM 07 as well. The solution is to use Rolling Saves and the Save Safely Option, with frequent auto saves (I use the once per week option), where you'll have more than one save as a back up, in case this happens.

New update and again my saved games (where I used one of the downloaded rosters from the site) load and then freeze. No error message just freeze.
