[3.3.3 (SOHY)] save game glitch

[jamoecw]

not sure if this happens in other saves (it is a first for me), but there is nobody anywhere when i try to continue my monarch challenge game. i can unpause and the game runs, but i have no character, and there is no character anywhere on the map. china has a newborn leader, and that is the only person to exist. i guess china wins in the end, eh?

PS: I am a Paradox fanboy, so I have all DLC, even the music.

well it has been a while and nobody has replied, so i figured i would attach my savegame. i have had it happen in another game, though that one has mods which means that it isn't quite as clear of a game bug (after all mods can mess things up).

It's a corrupted savegame. Sometimes a dying HDD/bad IO can cause this.
Perhaps it's not a bug of CK2. But the game should mark the savefile as BROKEN SAVEGAME and prevents it from loading.
Dunno why checksum is not working here...

BTW I managed to recover your save file but failed. I've uploaded the remains in case you want to mourn.
