Warning! Illegal ship type: XX

[Debaka]

So I just tried to load my latest campaign (Italy, 1910) nad had a Popup during load stating "Warning! Illegal ship type: XX". Upon pressing the "Okay" button, the popup flashed but stayed. I don't know if it's a case of a lot of the same popup or if it'S actually just not closing. I tried clicking ok a few dozen times though so it would have to be a lot of them. Had to end the task in task manager. 

The only weird things about my campaign I could think of are the following three:

• My System locale is set to Japanese. This has reliably caused some naming issues in RTW2 and the beta for German ships but never broke any of the games logic
• I had a dreadnought I built (3x13" turrets) identified as a predread by the game
• I had one error with a German ship "Lübeck" being invalid or whatever pop up but I played for ~2 hours after that and did not encounter any issues.

I can load my other campaigns without problems. (Restarting etc. did not help, same for trying to load an autosave or pressing "continue". I sadly cannot add the .zip of the savegame as it exceeds 1 MB in size...

Could you provide a save that we can look at it?

Try to use a 7z file it packs RTW much more. You can use any free site that can upload files.

Just a question. Does not happen to you that you leave game without saving and that load it?

Nope, I saved it normally. If I recall correctly it was from the fleet management screen and not while in battle. I attached a 7zip archive of the save.
