FIX REPORT:
The persistent file is corrupting the play-save screen
delete the persistent file and replace it with a backup persistent file (choose the earliest one)
I also suggest deleting any ships from the world that you suspect may have anything to do with it (as the arrow of time can potentially bring the save file back into the corrupted place, not knowing what causes the corruption) at least it's back up and running, thanks for helping.
