When will the patches be stable enough that one would -with a reasonable degree of certainty- no longer expect save corruption anymore in the process? Because I will not, can not, do the first couple hours yet again at this point. I may roll another character when things have settled down and any further twiddling will be mostly cosmetic, but right now, no. BG3 is on hold for me now.
I’ve also seen this happen. When I tried the exact same save again, it worked fine. But I’ve also seen it where the last 2 saves were corrupt, but the previous wasn’t. I hit F5 like my life depends on it, so I almost always have like 3 saves for the last 15 minutes.
