I tried most of the fixes you could find online already and i believe my save is corrupted after reinstalling and the game attempted to contact Steam cloud. I tried the following fixes to no avail:
- Reinstall & Verify
- Delete config.dat
- Disable cloud
- Disable autosave on transition
- Delete a save for extra save slot room
Here is the common zone transition error you usually see:

Attatched to this post is also my character save, someone said posting it would be helpful. Devs, if you can save me I'd love you forever. I absolutely love this game but I do not know if I will play again if its gone as this is the second time I've had to restart 70+ hours in.
