I fixed the issue, was an issue with corrupted save files from previous versions of the game. I went into windows explorer the followed this path: Program files(X86)\Steam\userdata\(your steam profile#)\244030\local\user\savedata:

By deleting ALL saved files this problem was fixed. I hope this can help many others that are having this save issue.

I forgot to mention how to reproduce this error: Go into scenarios or even space program hit escape, go to save, (save box opens), click save, instantly windows error sound is activated, alt + tab out of program, get attached picture as error every time. :End reproduction process.
