I tried that save, and it did crash with a runtime error just like you say. I've never had this happen on any other save. I'm running .621, non-deluxe. I noticed it's only 3 turns into the game. The save file size looks legit (531k).
Confirmed.
@The_J
The runtime error happened also with the save in this thread :

I loaded El_Kondor's game and also received a runtime error. BTW, the Load Game box states the the save requires the Babylon DLC, so it appears that El_Kondor does have the Deluxe Edition (as do I). I then ran a test to see if some error was introduced by 1.0.0.621. I started a new game, played several turns and saved. I was able to load the game w/o an error.
I'll look at the other threads in case I see something.
ETA: El_Kondor, can you load any save games? What happens if you start a new game, play a few turns and save it. Can you then load this game?

Is it, maybe, possible El_Kondor has bought the Babylon DLC for the regular version?
Because I didn't get the error message like in this post :

I experienced the same problem today with loading saved games. Steam updated itself overnight and must turn back on the autoupdate of patches for Civ V. My version now reads as 1.0.0.621
In playing around, I seem to be able to load Saves from pre 1.0.0.620 but none since that original update.
Is it possible to re-install and then add a patch at a time ? I don't know enough about Steam. Possibly if I could patch to 1.0.0.620 then I might be able to continue these saved games.

...so they screwed something between Deluxe Babylon and DLC Babylon?
The engineering fail in this game gets everytime bigger when i look in here.
Good point.
@El_Kondor - Did you buy Babylon as DLC? The attached screenshot when loading your save game shows that it requires DLC, which in this case turns out to be the Babylon civ.

After thinking about EL_Kondor's problem, I'm more confused than usual. The first screenshot below shows what you see when clicking on the DLC in EL_Kondor's save file. It indicates that you need to have Babylon to load the game. However, it appears that both Perkus and Tatran could start loading the game before getting the runtime error. As illustrated in Tatran's screenshot, you shouldn't even be able to select the Load Game button if you don't have Babylon. Am I correct that neither Perkus nor Tatran have Babylon (either from the Deluxe Edition or purchased DLC)?
Also confusing to me is that EL_Kondor apparently doesn't have the Mongol DLC. The second screenshot below illustrates a screen similar to the first, but when loading a game that was created on my system. I have Babylon from the Deluxe Edition and the Mongols, since they were a free DLC that was pushed out to everyone via Steam, I think. If so, why doesn't EL_Kondor have the Mongols?

@Petek
How did you get the info from your last 2 screenshots?
When I tried to load EL_Kondor's save, my load screen says nothing of a required DLC.
And yes, I don't have the Babylon civ.
A short comment to Ozbod's post :
See also previous screenshot.
Suleiman corrupt + LOTR28-250_BC were both pre 1.0.0.62
LOTR28-1150_AD + LOTR28-1250_AD had both the 1.0.0.62 patch
And none of the saves had loading problems.

@Tatran - Screenshots were made as usual. I downloaded the game file and loaded it via the Civ 5 interface. Just to make sure, I downloaded the file again, saved it with a different name. Same result. For some reason my system thinks that the save file has the Babylon DLC. I went through my other saves and found a mix of no DLC, just Babylon, just Mongolia and both (according to the display in the Load Game screen).
We have a save file that no one can open and that my system identifies as having Babylon and others don't. The file appears to have been corrupted. I'll confirm this as a bug and add it to the bug list. We can continue discussing the situation.

Yes, you are correct, I do not have Babylon. When I select that save game, I do not get a DLC indicator, and it lets me try to load it. I have tried to load other saves from this site that had the Babylon DLC indicated, and wasn't able to.
Sorry it took me so long to reply, I was away. To answer your questions: I only have the regular version of the game, I don't have Babylon or any other post released civs (no Mongols etc). The saved game I uploaded worked fine before the 621 patch, once the patch downloaded I started getting the runtime error. I started a couple of new games after that and had no runtime error issues.
