[2.0.16] Crash loading save game (Blueprint & TransportLine related)

[WhiteFang]

Sometimes when loading the game it fails to do so and simply crashes.

System has issues: 121566

I've had it crash a second time today and it seems like it fails to process a blueprint -> `10062.278 Info Blueprint.cpp:52: when loading blueprint "8_6_balancer"`
This particular blueprint is part of a blueprint book I copied from the following reddit post:

This crash did happen a few more times and seems to be getting worse every time the game crashes 3 to 5 more times after attempting to resume hosting the multiplayer game. Each time with the same "transport line" mentioned, but pointing at a different blueprint.
After several restarts the game does eventually load properly.
At first it crashed like once and the worked fine, over the weekend the game crashed a few more times where each time after the initial crash (different error about unreasonable chunk loading, see this post: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=120467), the game crashed one extra time with the transport line crash log.

It happened once more. This time it crashed at startup of the game after it has crashed with a different error (see this post for the other error: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=121455).

Thanks for the report however it looks like your computer is simply broken and is corrupting things at random.

Unless you know of a way to take a brand new save file and get it to crash reliably.
