Corrupt saves in FM under development

I have an FM under development/beta testing and while playing through it I've ended up with both quick saves causing TDM to crash when they are loaded.

I'm a bit worried it's a problem with my map, or is it?  This is on TDM 2.09.

I'm creating a memory dump file regardless.  I will do an other playthrough later, but can anyone advise what I should do or try next?

Thanks

It's not possible to change the files of an FM while you're doing a playthrough of it, some changes will have no effect while others will cause savegames to break.

FM: One Step Too Far | FM: Down by the Riverside | FM: Perilous Refuge
Co-FM: The Painter's Wife | Co-FM: Written in Stone

Do you mean if you started a game, took a quick save, changed the map, and then tried to load the quick save?

If so, that's not what happened here. I didn't make any changes since i started the game.

I won't worry too much about it, but but if keeps happening I might come back for help

If the TDM really crashes on loading (e.g. you see something like "TheDarkModx64.exe is not responding" message), then the easiest thing to do it to look into crash dump.

If you have lengthy scripts in your map, try to disable them and check if problem persists.
I'm afraid ill scripting can do significant damage to game state.

      All services hosted on the server were sluggish. I've rebooted and it appears to be better. Let me know if there are still issues.

      How fun is it to play as an undead in thief trilogy / dark mod ? The haunting(T2) and To the end with nothing(T2). Those FMs are exemplary according to me

      Who is actually working on new missions right now? That I, the greatest mapper of all times (and I say this in all modesty, it is innate in me) am working on something epochal is clear to everyone by now. But who else is working on new missions? Please let me, your God, know, because it's so depressingly quiet here and I don't like to post pictures all the time, because even for me it gets a bit too boastful (although justified) with time.
