Description

Hi, when opening a save file of a relatively new character (just killed Blood Raven, so Act 1) I see a dialog showing that error, but I am not sure if there is a problem in the editor, or the save file is somehow corrupted.

I am playing in Windows (10, 22H2), installed Diablo II Lord of Destruction 1.14b using Blizzard's installers and then updated it to 1.14d with the patch, see the attached character files in question.

Research direction

Start by downloading and inspecting the attached Lynn.zip character files, then reproduce opening them in the editor on the reported Diablo II 1.14d setup. Determine whether the Golem data format error comes from the save file or the editor, and confirm the editor handles the files without showing the error.
