I cannot reload my game after saving and restarting - in the hope that this might let me start collection the top tier strategics since I could not despite researching the tech.

When loading I get the Riftborn splash and some music, then the bar stops 2/3rds along, the music stops, and it goes to the image of the top-down Academy with LOADING. It does this for hours.

Sir, I do understand you because I have the same problem discribed in that thread : Link

And it did start just after 1.0.11 [preview]. Public release of 1.0.11 doesn't help to fix that.
