Game out of nowhere during playing. Now loading the last auto-save instantly crashes the game again.
Bug log and save game are attached.

Looking into this save file: there's a beacon that failed to save correctly which is resulting in it failing to load correctly. I do not know of any way for this to happen except memory corruption due to failing hardware.

Do you have any way to take a known good save file and get it into this broken state?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
No probably not, but I checked all the other Savefiles of this game and non would load, even older ones that were 15 min before the crash.

And is it possible to fix this Savefile manually to continue playing this Savegame?

That's a different crash, which indicates even more likely hardware issues.
