Summary04906: Can someone tell me what does "Invalid size allocating string 31 size -1" error
DescriptionGameVersion: english,pal
SlaveVersion: 2.2 (21.02.17)

Can someone tell me what does "Invalid size allocating string 31 size -1"
error means and is there a way to fix it?
I get this in Indiana Jones and Fate of Atlantis game, when the save game disk is checked at beginning. I think Amiga hung up during the save procedure and the virtual disk got corrupted somehow. Any ideas?

I would be grateful if explanation is provided, what happened and is there a way that I can fix it in the future for this and any other game that crashes this way?

an update has been posted to whdload page. The problem was an empty iq-points file that confused the game.

But deleting it isn't a very good idea too. I suggest that you wait for the new .slave file to be published.
