Sandbox.sbc File Corruption on Save
Last night I discovered when saving all the dates in Sandbox.sbc and Sandbox_config.sbc is not being saved in a valid AllXsd format and if one or both being saved with non-standard formatting seems to be random.
Example from an affected Sandbox_config.sbc:
<LastSaveTime>2021-01-09T05:28:23.++('+-'-06:00</LastSaveTime> Example from an affected Sandbox.sbc: <LastLogoutTime>0001-01-01T06:00:00./*-+.</LastLogoutTime>I validated the game files and tested to see if this issue was still persistent. The issue was still present. I then uninstalled, reinstalled the game, and cleared the game cache in %AppData%\SpaceEngineers. The issue still persists.
I have attached the log and the Sandbox.sbc and Sandbox_config.sbc files from the most recent test to this topic. I am able to get the world save to load by manually replacing the offending character with zeros, for example:
This:
<LastSaveTime>2021-01-09T05:28:23.++('+-'-06:00</LastSaveTime> To This: <LastSaveTime>2021-01-09T05:28:23.0000000-06:00</LastSaveTime>While investigating I have left the save files open in Atom Text Editor and watch as I save in-game after fixing the save the non-standard values are populated in the files. This also occurs on autosave.
This issue has appeared completely at random as I have been playing this game for years without an issue like this and I don't think there was an update within the last few days. I searched on here before submitting this topic and did not see anyone else reporting this, so perhaps I am the only one experiencing this?
I have the same bug

Hello Ondrej,
I have no idea how to reproduce this error. It seems to have gone away on its own, however, at the time the only way for a couple of days to get around this was to manually fix the LastSaveTime entries and disable autosave.

Hello, LordChicken,
thanks for coming back.
That´s great to hear that you are no longer experiencing this issue!
Will let this thread open for a while so you can inform me if it happens again. But if no, I would most likely close it in about 14 days as it might be just some weird one-timer or very specific coincidence.
Kind Regards
