Went to load up my latest AI War game, and it immediately told me that I lost. Obviously was not expecting this, as I was quite alive and well when I saved the game.

It appears that the save is corrupted, judging by the error messages that appear and that the ring of planets (I'm playing that semi-snake with the crossings in the middle) in my galaxy apparently went poof.

The stranger thing is that it affects multiple saves --- every save after a certain point has this corruption, so it wasn't a problem with just one save, but all the rest I made during that session (like 4 or 6 hours of playtime).

Attached are two saves - the last save I have that is valid, and the earliest one that is corrupted.

Is there any way to edit or salvage these saves? And I figure this is a defect in the game, no?

Was running the 64-bit version under Arch Linux, if that helps. I can provide any further specs as needed.

Thanks!
