Saving is a bit bugged with this patch.
Here is the way to avoid making corrupted save.

When you want to save a game just make sure that a few days have passed since the last time you loaded your last save game.

Here are 3 files to prove my point:

I've attached an original working file View attachment Charsianon881_01_14.rar, just load that save file then save immediately on January 14 don't unpause yet.

This will create a corrupted save file similar to this View attachment Charsianon881_01_14_2.rar

Without quitting the game yet, unpause then wait 3-4 days around january 18 then save again. This should create a working save file similar to this View attachment Charsianon881_01_18.rar

Now resign and try to load the 2nd file you just save named Charsianon881_01_18.ck2, you will notice that it works perfectly, now resign again and try to load the first file you saved named Charsianon881_01_14_2.ck2 and you will notice this time that the game crashes to desktop.

Thanks, with that method and the repair tool, that bug wont stop us from playing until the next patch although it is probably safer to prevent a save file from breaking in the first place than to try to fix a broken save file.
