Game won't load - ERR exception reading world header at pos 421284

Hello, 

"

My 7 days to die game won't start this morning, it gives me the error seen in the picture " ERR exception reading world header at pos 421284 " and then won't initialize the game and gets stuck on that screen. I tried trouble shooting by deleting the files and running it but that doesn't work, I also made a new world and copied over the main.ttw and main.ttw.bak and that didn't work. 

Last night the game crashed at one point and I think that may have corrupted the save file. This is very frustrating because I was 50 hours into the game and am not willing to throw all that progress away and start from the beginning :(  Can anyone help solve this? 

Thanks in advance

I was playing in multiplayer mode with my partner, no mods, both our computers are windows 7 and everything was working peachy up until this morning when I tried to start the multiplayer server it keeps giving me errors and won't start up, any help to solve this would be much appreciated it's a great game but won't be restarting it at over 50 hours in :(

OK just going in for starters, keep in mind that your system does not meet minimum spec to play.

A screen resolution of 2048x1152 is larger than your system is capable of. You would be better off at 720p. That is an unusual ratio though. Is that a CRT?

World header data is corrupted. Since you're on Navezgane, try verifying the files a couple of times.

 
Hey, thanks for the info, the settings worked just fine before the crash, I do have an LCD monitor and not a CRT heh (haven't seen one of those in a decade !) 

I did what you suggested and verified my game files, no problems doing that. Then I tried again and it didn't work :(  same exact error keeps popping up in the console and game won't start. 

Any other suggestions to get it working? 

 
Unfortunately, you probably just need to start a new save at this point. Can probably copy your character files over at least though.

 
Damn, such a lovely game but this is a majorly sucks to lose all progress from 50+ hours and not be able to get it back just like that...

How do I copy over character files?

I may also try playing again if I can spawn in the items we had collected over the 50 hours of gameplay.. Is there a way to forward the game time as well to the day we were at ?
