Issues unresolved

Error reading user file: Failed reading file

This is an error that occurs when the save game data is corrupted, likely as a result of syncing saves between Windows and OS X and launching the game.
Save data must be deleted in order to launch the game again. Steam user ego100000 claims to be able to repair the saves in this situation.[1]
