No, I already opened a bug report upstream almost 3 years ago and 
explained why this is a bug and needs to be solved.

I don't mind if upstream is not willing to work on loading old saved 
games, I'm asking to fix a crash. If the saved game is not loadable, the 
game should really says so instead of a nasty and misleading behavior. 
There's no good reason for a crash, being just a game or not.

Regards.
