Default Dominions error on hosting???

Something wrong happened in our game Gloriousdays on the Llamaserver. All of the players staled in the latest turn and got a message as below...

"Hi. On trying to host Gloriousdays just now, Dominions crashed. This is not a LlamaServer issue, but rather Dominions itself crashed with a "Nagot gick fel" error.

These errors are normally caused by a (generally inexplicable) problem with one of the players' 2h files. Therefore the LlamaServer moved all your 2h files away before hosting again. This is why you will receive a new turn file in which you've staled.

There are two options from here. Either you can treat the stale turn as a random event and carry on with the game, or you can roll back the turn and try to host again. If you try the latter your game admin will have to do the rollback via the admin options on the LlamaServer website, and you will all have to do your turns again. Note that in this case it is _really important_ that you actually do redo your turn, rather than just sending in the same one again (which people sometimes seem to do because they don't believe me). If you just send in the same file, hosting will simply fail again."

Now we're discussing whether we should rollback or not, but it's just too difficult to reach a agreement of everyone in such a huge game (33 players on the map Glory of Gods!)

Many of the players really want to rollback but shall we really do it? We're also wondering is there still a risk if we just continue? What on earth caused this error?

We just can't afford another error, any advice is welcome, especially if you ever met this problem before. Thanks in advance.
