[v7.21.5] May 1 update broke my game. Now my ironman save crashes on load.

Last saved while been on mission. 

Tried few times (rebooted), crash is consistent at 90% load. Had no issues in previous 172 hours of playing.  No mods. Crash logs attached.

Please help.

Thanks for taking the time to post a bug report! This is a known issue on some of the desert maps and we're looking into it. A workaround is to load a strategy save prior to the combat mission, so you'll have to start over the ground combat, but you'll be able to keep on playing the campaign. Another way is to switch your version to 7.20.4 in Steam's branches. Go to Properties > Game Versions & Betas and select 7.20.4. I'll attach a strategy save you can continue playing on as well.
