Sorry, it’s my fault. An old save folder interfered a normal workflow. Everything got fine after removing it. Anyway, maybe we should think on handling of such errors?

That’s in the bug list, one of the oldest in fact: [link](https://github.com/TheDarklingWolf/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/40).

And a more recent issue suggesting that we tell the player when they load a massively incompatible save: [https://github.com/TheDarklingWolf/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/486](https://github.com/TheDarklingWolf/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/486)

So yeah, definitely agree that there could be improvements made.
