Save games won't load

[mcomp72]

Describe the bug In "The Climb", I cannot load my saved games, unless it is an auto-save. When attempting to load one of the non-auto-saves, it hangs on 5%. At that point I have to force quit the game.

To Reproduce I have no idea how to tell you to reproduce it. But I have tried multiple saved games in this chapter, and they all hang at 5% except the auto-saves.

Expected behavior I expected the saved game to load normally.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 Home 22H2
• GPU name: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
• CPU name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz
• RAM (Quantity + Spec): 12 GB (not sure of specs)

UPDATE: I have 5 regular save games since my last auto-save. 3 of the 5 will not load, but 2 of the 5 will. And they flip-flop -- no idea if that is relevant. Here are the times of the saves, and if they work or not.

11:32 AM - won't load 11:36 AM - will load 11:38 AM - won't load 11:39 AM - will load 11:42 AM - won't load

Would you mind uploading the broken save files here? Should be located in Portal Revolution/revolution/SAVE/<steam id>.

I dragged the three files into the message here, but I received this message:

I put the three files in a ZIP file and put in on my Dropbox. You should be able to download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/uo0enewv3rwvlic8cyn29/Portal_Revolution_save_files_that_do_not_work.zip?rlkey=75j7xx2rpkakl0dn4hrs18lli&dl=0

Thank you! I'll have a look at these now. Github should also support ZIPs

Got the same bug in the same chapter ("The Climb") but apparently some of my quicksaves were able to load. I suppose the save file gets broken due to the massive amount of the gel in the map (in my case I wanted to "break" the game a little, so stained all the map in gel, after that the game refused to load).
