Got an error opening project

Hi,
I have V. 16.1.2 Windows 10 64 bits

This morning I tried to continue with project saved tuesday, but i got this window:



wbs file: https://www.irvinrobledo.com/bug/berayahbug.wbs

I have not updated anything this week. Just worked in other projects.

Have you removed any extensions by accident?

The project you have shared is corrupt.
The binary data format is not valid.

What exactly did you do before it stopped working?
Did you try to open a backup of the project?

[irvin_robledo]

I just save it as usual. No extensions added or removed.
Yes, I got a backup from the backups folder, I just lost some changes.
I thought I had to report it as bug, just that.

The only unusual thing is that I'm using an external drive (USB hard drive) and I opened it from there.

Without knowing exactly what you did , it is difficult to tell whether this is a bug.
The binary data is corrupt,. so it may also be related to a fault on your harddisk.

As Pablo indicates file corrupt you might want to consider using a different brand usb harddisk in the future?

Yes, it is hardly to replicate, but hoping it do not happen again. If does, I will reopen this post. Thank you.
