    [UPDATED 9/10/2013, disregard older comments!]

    This error appears just after your server autosaves, and looks like this (red box in upper right of the screen).

    After communicating with Schema about this issue, he's told me that the message is displayed whenever there is a corrupted entity somewhere during the autosave. When my server was still small, it was relatively easy to hunt down the problem and destroy it, but now it's become impossible. I'd really love to see some mechanic put into place to help us deal with this problem until Schema can find a way to get rid of it completely. Please see my suggestion here for what might work.

    It\'s been happening about 3-4 times a day on the server I play on, though I can\'t give any technical details.

    Just do /shutdown -600 then do /force_save
    Will stop the shutdown timer and then saves just to make sure you lose no data.

    the save error doesn\'t actually cause you to lose data anyway, so that\'s not the point really. It\'s just an annoying scary looking thing that makes players uneasy, and I don\'t want it deterring anyone from my server (or any server) because they think they\'re gonna lose their progress.

    Never had saving problems after playing weeks and weeks with friends on my server.

    What OS? Are you hosting with the dedicated launcher that comes with the game, or via a remote host with console?
