I solved the problem by editing the savegame (terrain binary) with a hex editor to reflect the new terrain descrition names.

I did test that the lookup works with several of my savegames; so it would be interesting to know how where the faulty call comes from – please upload the savegame?

You need my modified Europa 1.2 map with straits of bosporus.

Loading this game with europeans 1.4.1 first gives me a different error:

After removing the extra images the savegame loads fine, though it says

Please try recompiling and then see if the initial problem persists.
