Savegame corrupt after uninstalling this Mod?
Literally the only Things I did was uninstalling this Mod and removed "-preventhibernation" because it was a bit laggy for me and now I can't load my World. I get Unknown Filesize Fatal Error with ntdll.dll and kernel32.dll, there are several ways that could fix the Error, I did them but I still can not load my Savegame. I play Singleplayer on Ragnarok.
Things I already tried: Steam: Check integrity Game Files, Lowering the Pings per Minute to 250 and cleared Download Cache.
For the Game I also tried uninstalling Battle-Eye. I also reinstalled the Windows AiO Runtime Package.

Any more Ideas, or do I need a fresh Start?

in your save game folder of Ark is also a backup file, which Ark creates automatically.
you need to rename it (i recommend to backup this file before renaming)

Thanks for your Idea.
I had a Ragnarok_NewLaunchBackup.bak, a Ragnarok_AntiCorruptionBackup.bak and a few .ark Files with Ragnarok_DATE_Number. I tried the backup Files first, than 3 older Backups. I deleted the Original Ragnarok.ark and renamed one backup to Ragnarok.ark.
Unfortunately the Game still crashes. While writing this I also tried an older Backup of the whole RagnarokSavedArksLocal Folder that I created 2 Weeks ago, but even this one crashed.

One thing I notice is, right before the Game crashes a new Ragnarok_AntiCorruptionBackup.bak is created.

*Had* crash on load after removing mod & "-preventhibernation" line; got save to re-load by (1) re-adding "-preventhibernation" and this mod and loading my save.(2)Then, using DestroyWildDinos command to wipe map of dinos and exiting to main menu.*<--This saves the game.*(3) Now i remove "-preventhibernation" and test loading my save with mod but no "-preventhibernation" this time and it worked. I think wiping dinos from save is the key to safely removing the mod.
