Hate to revive a dead bug, but I'm currently getting this and cannot fix it. There is a similar issue that appears in the "fixed" thread, but there is no provided fix in that thread and it's from 2021.
For my issue specifically, any time I open up the load game or save game screens, I get this error. Further, hitting okay immediately brings this error message back up, and even if I manage to quickly click out of the save menu and into another menu or into the game, the message constantly pops up (I have to spam clicking and enter to do this).
I have done everything I know to do from uninstalling and reinstalling, manually deleting files from the steam directory as well as from %appdata%.
I've verified the integrity of game files. I've ensured I have the most recent update. I've attempted to both turn on and off the steam cloud saves. Steam does not say there is any issue with my cloud saves and no other game has any issues whatsoever. I've waited for updates (maybe a bad update) but no such luck. This error has effectively made this game unplayable to me since January.
