Hey, I've had this issue before with saves from the Steam workshop but didn't think much of it- but now it's affect my old save that I've been working on. It gets abouts 3/4ths of the way through the loading bar and then freezes before crashing entirely.
However, I can create a new save and use it just fine- it's only my older files which seem to be affected.
#Game Crashes When Loading Old Saves

Please send any saves that don't work, I'll take a look

"Misc again" is my save, the other one is one of the other ones i've downloaded off of Steam with this issue. It seems I already removed the other save at some point.

So on trying misc_again, I noticed that a navigation recalculation is needed
This will appear as a second loading bar
Does the crash happen during this second loading bar, or does it happen during the first?

For that one I've noticed it crashing on the second loading bar. Not what you asked but potentially relevant, the other one I couldn't tell you, I haven't tried it in a while, but the crashing behavior was really similar- i assumed it was the same issue.

Ok, that's a lead, thank you

Bit of an update- had some time to kill today so decided to give it another try. misc_again loaded, which i found odd, so i didn't save it at the time and tried again twice today- the second attempt today crashed on the second loading bar, and the third one loaded fully. It may be worth mentioning that I attempted to load misc_again twice the day I posted this report, both times crashing on the second loading bar.
I also attempted to load park_iso, the one I got from Steam- that one crashed on the first loading bar. I have not made any changes to my game settings or computer setup since filing this report, in theory everything should be in the same state as earlier, but just in case I'm sending my user logs and the relevant saves again, in case that could be of any help. misc_again is the newer version, park_iso remains unchanged.

GG @gentle remnant, you just advanced to level 1 !

How do the crashes appear?
- Game disappears instantly
- Game goes white and says 'not responding'
- Game pauses and never picks back up

Looking at the logs you sent, I'm realizing you have 8GB of RAM
The second loading bar requires an extra few gigs to finish properly I've noticed, and you simply may be running out of memory there..
Could you check this with your Task Manager?
How-to just in case:
- Open Task Manager
- Go to Performance tab
- Click 'Memory' and watch the graph (or the percentage) while trying to load
(You can alt-tab out of the game to task manager if you have 1 monitor, PK should continue to load)

It would be number two, especially for misc_again. Park_iso I've had to manually close via task manager a few times back when I first was getting that error, which I assume falls under 3, but today when I tried I got the "not responding" message. Task manager pulls up as very close when loading up misc_again, so i wouldn't be surprised if it had managed to go slightly over when the second loading bar comes into play, especially if i accidentally leave Spotify running in the background or something.

Oh yeah... this storage drive usage is Windows desperately pushing data from RAM onto your hard drive to keep from crashing :\
Are you able to finish the second bar in any case?
If so, save and you won't need to do it until the next patch
Otherwise I can upgrade your saves I suppose
