Game load failed notification

I was regularly playing the game before Christmas but since that time I have taken a break from Kingdom Come. Today I have re installed the game and wanted to start playing again, only to receive a notification of “Game load failed” when I try to start up my most recent save. Most of the saved games in the load menu are faded out with only the first few hours being able to be loaded again.

I had reached the “If you can’t beat em” quest line.

The game is currently installing update 1.16 but I’m unsure if there will be any bug fixes in that update to resolve this issue. Any advice?
