Description
OS: Windows 8
Version: 0.3.4.1
Commit/Build: 62d66ca
When I try to open this savegame, nothing happens. I either stay in the menu, or in the current savegame, depending on where I load it from. No error message. The menu also doesn't reload. Literally nothing happens!
I tried the same thing while running from OpenRCT.com to see what the DOS window thingy would say. Took a screen, which you can find below. I drew some red lines between what's shown after the booting the game (up to the green text), the first time trying to load the save, and the second time trying to load the save.

Done means the affected savegames load successfully from the menu or current game, with an error reported if loading cannot proceed.
