I tried to load my game from 2.0.72, loading got stuck halfway on "checking constistency", and after ~10 seconds the game crashed (didn't matter if i loaded it from "continue" or singleplayer>load game>save)
This happened everytime i tried to open the save while on 2.0.73
From all my saves, even others started in 2.0.72 (altho i only had one other 2.0.72 save, that one being a tutorial world), this only happened to this one, including all of it's autosaves
Then, when i switched back to 2.0.72 it loaded just fine
Also, everytime single time i opened the game the patch notes appeared (don't know if this is relevant or not, but i found it weird)

Thanks for the report however the most reasonable explanation of the crash you are getting is that the save file is corrupted. Unless you know how to corrupt a freshly created save file i am going to say there is nothing to be done in the game and this is a 1/0 magic. Please make sure that your hardware is not faulty (bad RAM or failing CPU).
