game crash

Put the summary of the bug you're having here

What I expected to happen was...:
What actually happened was...:
The game will no longer load. It immediately crashes and generates the error when trying to load the game.

Steps to Reproduce:
The game crashes as soon as I try to launch it.
Has been ongoing for a very long time and I believe there is a corruption in the map. Initially the game would load but would crash, often when attempting to travel to the "western" part of my world. I tended to avoid venturing off in that direction and things seemed to work ok for a time. Now I cannot even load my world.
