Ah thanks for the link but no luck here either really---at least Steam finally said preparing to launch which is new :)
I had the same problem - I used to be able to load it but now it's stopped working
However I did get one error log - I am not sure if was the error stopping the boot up but here it is:
System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document (21575, 4). ---> System.Xml.XmlException: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 21575, position 4.

UPDATE:
Orcish Inn did boot when I reinstalled it and left the file in it's compressed state
However it used to boot uncompressed
UPDATE 2:
Orcish Inn booted uncompressed when I removed the "_0" from the end of the save file which allowed Orcish to boot, however it did delete my progress
I made multiple new saves and I think the game struggles when I get alot of debuffs. The more I had the slower it ran until it was unplayable and eventually didn't start (The game never fully crashed, it just stoped starting).
Although this is a strong motivator to keep tabs on my stamina and hunger :)
Also great game I really enjoy it and I can't wait until it's released
