Erm could post a screenshot of the error window, just press alt+prntscrn, open up paint and press ctrl+v. Then save the image as .PNG format and attatch it to your post. Perhaps went wrong with the saving, an error I got a while ago was "error due to overflow" make sure if you have any far away from the main map playgons, move them closer. That's all for now that I can think of.

Try extracting it to a different location.

There is nothing to recover because it's not a problem with a map. I'm not sure what the cause of this error is. Change the Dir entry in the Preferences section in polyworks.ini to your Soldat directory if you haven't tried that already. I'll put in some more detailed error messages for the next version.
