Save file is from back in May, when i gave up playing due to bugs

Firstly in that game i encountered the bug where the game would freeze when combat was initiated. The mouse could still move but a battle result was not shown nor could i press next turn. leaving me in a state where i could no loner continue to play. Had ZERO interest in starting a new game i wanted to finish this one. So gave up and waited for a bug fix. As i had seen you comment on steam forums that you were aware of that issue

Its now been several patch updates so i figued i would try the game again see if it had been fixed 

now i cant load any of my saves of autosaves. As the save is loaded the bar moves along the screen and the music is playing but when the screen displays "Game Launched" music stops and game crashes

Original bug would appear in this save as soon as i would start any combat every single time(5/5). tried loading earlier autosave but issue still occured everytime(5/5)

game version 1.0.19 S5 gold public

cant seem to upload save file (the compressed folder) it wont let me i get the "something went wrong, please try again"

output_log.txtDxDiag.txt

if you have any tips to help me get my save file to you please let me know
