Main header file and it's backup is corrupt.

The usual cause for this issue is improper shutdown of the client.

You can delete these two files and start again, but almost everything relying on a timer will be broken.

C:\Users\Enviroteks\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\Saves\Navezgane\Matt1/main.ttw.bak

Your best bet is to start a new save, and always ensure that you are exiting the client properly.

Also doing a regular backup of your save isn't a bad idea (it is possible to automate this). Your laptop is getting heavily stressed playing 7D2D, in my experience this increases the chance for saves to become corrupted.
