Running v.0.74, have been doing fine with loading saves right up until this point, where I get these errors:

I'm pretty far into the game and would prefer to keep this save going.

Loading other saves does not have this problem.

Will provide more information if necessary.

If I understand correctly, perhaps your saved game got corrupted somehow? If the saved games are stored in separate files, is the file for the saved game you are attempting to load roughly the same size as the other files?

I'm assuming you haven't changed your mounted directories or other settings.

yeah, that's probably a corrupt savefile. Since Shadowcaster stores screenshots along with the saved game, the "lump" error string on the main dosbox window seems to indicate a problem reading that resource.

I've finished the game under 0.74, so I don't think this is DOSBox-related; might be a rarely-encountered game bug.
