I am having the same issue. I played a few hours, saved the game, exited to the main menu to close it. Now when I push “continue” I get the exact same load error. I’ve tried loading from my main save, from an auto save, I’ve checked my files, restarted the computer, etc. Nothing is helping.

edit: I am also on PC/steam and my EA account is linked

I had a glitch where my hair wasn't appearing on my rook, and exited to the main menu, and haven't been able to load back in since, keep getting this same error code. I've also gotten the same error code, though it occurs whether it is an autosave, temporary save, or a manual save. I restarted my pc, repaired and checked the game, and now the only saves I can access are my ones all the way back when I first entered the Lighthouse, which is like 4 hours of progress lost. I'm also on PC, and have been having this problem for hours.

EA_Illium - Why in the world is this flagged as 'solved'? Your comment is not a solution, and only gives false hope to people who are searching this problem.
Adding my experience to the list here as well. About 50 percent of the time, I can load a single save from the lighthouse - always bugged backed to the default Rook. Then I have to hope that a more recent save will load from the pause menu on that save. I have 24 saves, and have just spent the morning trying and failing to load ANY of them besides one for the lighthouse.
The most frustrating thing is that I can tell that the game has loaded behind the error message, because as soon as I click the acknowledgement, I see the minimap and the area terrain has loaded.
After a most wonderful DirectX crash (another thing you need to be patching ASAP) eight hours after my last working Lighthouse save, I have repaired the game, tried every workaround suggested across multiple searches, and NONE of my other saves are loading, including others at the lighthouse that are more recent.
This is ridiculous. Can we at least get some acknowledgement of the issue or ETA for a patch? What is the point of releasing a game that doesn't load saves?
And again, this is NOT solved.

If possible please share a copy of your Save file in a reply to this thread. = Attached here in a zip file.
If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip... = I have attached a video of the error in a zip file (cut in the middle for time/size). In all, the game "loaded" in about 42 seconds before throwing the error message. You can clearly see the minimap and an alert box have loaded, and then when hitting "OK", you can see the graphics for a moment.
DxDiag file = Attached
EA app Error ID Number = Since I can't play with the online overlay without even more DirectX crashes every time I try to load, I can't send diagnostics from the game itself, so won't be providing this.

  Hey nevelyna Thanks for sharing the requested information! To confirm as mentioned in my solved post we marked the messages as the solution for others to find the message easier as it will appear right under OP's message so anyone else running into this issue will know what information we are requesting.
  
  If you're running into issues with the EA app overlay you can turn this off in the client settings. Also, to confirm should the save file be attached? I only see your dxdiag file.

im having this same issue, i want to cry because i got so far into the game to only have my save randomly decide to do this. im devastated. my graphics drivers are updated and the only save i can get it to load is the very first one, and when i try to load any more of them it gives me the load error.

I'm having the same error. I have an AMD card and have the game installed on a hard drive-- but if it was going to be completely unplayable on the hard drive, instead of just sub-optimal, the requirements should have specified that.
I've noticed that when loading into the supposedly "broken" saves, the screen flashes for a brief moment before it kicks me back to the main menu, and it appears to have loaded completely fine. Really frustrating.

Same issue as above. I have tried loading an earlier game and the loading the recent save from the pause menu, but still get the same error.

I replied to say I had the same issue too a few minutes ago but it was deleted
I am also having the same issue, nothing will load for me, not even the earliest save.

As a note, once a save loads with the default Rook, I found starting a new game, importing the character preset then leaving character creator worked for getting your Rooks customizations back.
edit: Fix did not apply to the inventory screen

  I had the game installed on an external E drive, uninstalling and reinstalling onto my C drive internal fixed the problem (as well as solving loading issues and other bugs i was having !)
