Rimworld error while loading map: How to fix it?
The first fix that you can try is by restarting your system. When you restart your system, any temporary bug that might have been glitching the map will disappear. The second thing you can do is delete all the mods in the game and play it in vanilla mode. This is because sometimes the main reason for the occurrence of errors is mods and their lack of optimization. However, if you are using a particular mod known as the Psychology mod, you will have to add the Expanded Incidents mod to make this error go away. After adding the Expanded Incidents mod, you will have to load the save game. If that doesn’t work, make sure to disable the Psychology mod.
You can also go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\Saves. Now, rename the current save file and remove the .old part from the file.
You can also update the game and the mods inside it. By going to the Steam Workshop, you will be able to check which mod was updated last and if the loading map issue was occurring before the update. If yes, then you can downgrade the mod or remove it for a while. Also, make sure that you verify the game files on Steam. You can do this by going to Steam > Library > Rimworld> Properties> Local Files> Verify the files. By following these steps, you will be able to get over the loading map error in the game.
