When you press a key during autosave, if you then load that save, that action will continue on its own for a seemingly random amount of time or until you press the action's key again.
Like if you're shooting during an autosave, if you then load that save, your guy will fire off some more shots (I got random results between 0 and 15 shots with the same savegame).
Can be tricky when loading an autosave with you driving the car for example, the car will drive on its own instead of slowing down.
Reproducable with normal save too if you keep the key pressed during the whole save procedure.

Thanks for the report, this will be fixed in the 0.12.1.

Let me guess. Multiplayer uses same savegame routine that is used for autosave.

Now for multiplayer I guess this information is required (new player gets full savegame of the current world).

So as a programmer myself I see two possible solution for this:
1. Having two separate routines. Possible drawback of this is that you will have to update both of these routines when new features might be implemented in game.
2. Having one routine which is modified in a way that even if some actions information is present in the savegame all action information that is concerning the current player (the one that is loading the savegame) is simply ignored.
