The shocking discovery is that saving and reloading and saving again and repeat for 45 times each will lead to a total savegame corruption and GAME OVER!!!It has nothing to do with file mismatch message or new updates and patch releases. This is a serious bug that needs to be fixed asap!!! And there are probably other reasons for corruption as well such as bad quests, missing stuff etc. which indeed were addressed in the Patch Notes e1.0.2. But this is probably one of the top reasons why the game actually gets corrupted for most of us.Saving to the same file repeatedly or making several separate saves in a row without reloading seems to be safe enough. But this is unavoidable issue with max 45 to 55 lives. There are no other fixes or workarounds that will solve this issue. But even if we do find a manual fix. Developers can probably fix this within 24h anyways! And now developers have noticed this thread which is good.But I have an additional request from the developers to look into.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------First of all while performing this test I've noticed that after about 5-10 saves the game starts slowing down in even entering the Main Menu, not to mention saving and reloading by x5 times. So overall performance in loading time over time needs to be looked into. Why I believe this is important? Well because mainly of the next point!Something is wrong with the way data is being handled over the entire game. While this bug was being "fixed", I went out and performed some tests that I didn't do yet and wanted to know more about. And noticed that a successful flirting with lords + reloading here and there lead to an interesting result.Where the first step in a successful relationship lead to a screen of disabled dialog buttons that didn't do anything. And that same screen was even shown when I talked to other lords like if I dated them as well when I didn't. And all buttons were disabled. Even when I reloaded previous saves before all that happened, this bug didn't go away. Like if it traveled back in time. So.. that made me ask questions... What kind of a game is this that can't even be reloaded properly??? The only fix was to exit the game and restart it. I wasn't successful in replicating this bug since there were many combinations to it and I'm now not sure which did it. But I now know what this game is capable of.. And it is not pretty!!! So devs need to rework the entire way the saving and reloading and loading screens work.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------MArdA (TW) - "Having so many save files or trying to load them repetitively may causes problems. We have fixed this issue and this will be pushed ASAP." However the corrupted files are pretty much still corrupted, not much change there...And yet it has been proven that corrupted saves can be loaded and saved again...The new "FIX" was probably rushed and has only fixed some of the issue...Saves remain same size now and yet instead of 45 reloads we can now do about 55.So maybe the next patch will completely resolve this critical issue...Well it looks like the experimental patch e1.0.4 seems to work!Loading the corrupted files and even re-saving and re-loading them seems to work.I have also tested the performance of loads and saves and not too much change there.When it comes to loading several times in a row, the games slows down x2 times.
