I've always using the latest OR from nightly, but since few weeks sometimes the savegames can't be loaded, as OR says "Save file is incompatible with current revision of Open Rails so activity cannot continue" "Save file revision = 0" "Open rails revision =2427"

First problem i see that the save file revision is wrong, and it's not damaged file, as every save that i made running this activity, have the same problem.
The problem isn't connected to the route, or the rolling stock(i tried both), it seems to be connected to the activity, however this happened with other activities too.

I've attached the save file:  save.zip (191.58K)
Number of downloads: 167

I've had this problem and in my case it's connected to railcars with gearboxes, in my case hydraulic automatic drive. The eng file in question seems to be a bit inconsistent - Number of gears 1, automatic, but a gear box controller defined with 2 gears (3 if you include neutral). If I remove the hydraulic drive and gear definitions so the drive defaults to electric, saves and resumes work. Having dodged the problem, I haven't yet experimented with more consistent definitions in the eng file.

It should be fixed in revision 2435.
