[1.20] corrupt quicksave / hang when loading saved game

See link for save games: "after" is corrupt

Game created by and played on 1.20 maps DLC no mods, O/S = win 7 x64, RAM 8GB

Reproducible from "before" save: kill ogre with level 5 champ nearby, quicksave, exit game to desktop, launch game & load = hang

I'm not able to reproduce.  I am able to confirm that the After save is corrupt and crashes my game when I load it, so you are indeed having a problem.  However, I killed the ogre with the level 6 champion, quicksaved right after, closed the program, relaunched, and successfully loaded the quicksave without issue.

About your Before save, though.  You don't have a level 5 champ.  Near the Ogre, you've got a level 4 (I think that's your sovereign, though) and a level 6 champion, both of which can kill the Ogre, neither of which can reach it without ending two turns first.  There are also a few decisions that have to be made between loading and killing the Ogre that could impact whether or not the save game gets corrupted.  If you can, produce another save game where you have made the choices you made, and you're ready to kill the Ogre.  Also, if you've got both the level 4 and the level 6 close enough to kill it, let us know which one to use if it maters.

Killing the ogre may have nothing to do with the corruption, I was just trying to be helpful to get this bug fixed (yes the champ may be 6 not 5 and yes it might take a couple turns to get there that's the only other save I had).

But other players have reported 1.20 save game corruption, I also had other corrupt saves since, so it's not an isolated case and needs to be fixed.
