Alright, I've pretty much gotten back to the point I was at by now anyways.

Do you know why or how it was corrupted and how to prevent it from happening again?

What happens if you simply delete the nulls? I've attached a modified savegame (I can't test as I don't have a recent version of OpenMW) Note you have to expand using 7zip first Unfortunately that won't work either, however that produces a different error log Failed to load saved game: ESM Error: R...

See ZFS for example that will check for file corruption (bit rot) and correct for it during scrubbing/resilvering. Until that time where this 'feature' becomes wide spread, then perhaps some time of manif...

The strange thing is that I played the previous night, no issues, next day I download some mods, remove a few, start the game up and get an error saying something like "OpenMW could not play without a settings.cfg" I opened the file and it had NULL repeated entirely filing up the file. So ...
