To Everyone having Trouble with Save Files:
- Make a New Save at Every Important Stage.
- Regularly Save Progress to Current Save.
- Do Backups, if Deemed Neccessary.
This way you have Nearly Concurrent Saves to test against Save File Corruption if they cause the Game to Crash.
You can also try Save Files created earlier if the most Current One leads to Issues. This way you’re likely able to avoid a Complete Fresh Start (unless you so desire, ofc 😏).
This is Wise Practice for almost ANY Kind of Game!
..and especially Games based on RPGMaker where “accidentally” hitting F5 will Reload the Game Instantly and Loose Any Unsaved Progress!
