Frequent Save Corruption

[axxon_n]

Played the game a lot at launch and loved it, but got distracted and didn't go back again until this last week after the expansion came out.

After playing for a few hours consecutively, though, I'll get a pop-up saying an attempted autosave shows my save file to be corrupted and it'll ask me to load an old save that works, and generally speaking (unless I get lucky with a semi-recent autosave that also isn't corrupted), that means losing hours of progress to the last hard save, which I don't really do very often.

Don't recall having this issue in the past, and recently verified my files and nothing's wonky there. Anyone else having this issue, or know what I can do to prevent it?

Would it be worth backing up my save and reinstalling?

EDIT: This has happened to me two or three times in the last few days. I abandoned the first save, made a new game, and have had it happen to me twice on this save but I've managed to salvage with more frequent manual saves and getting lucky with old autosaves.

That's the sort of thing which generally should never happen. Do you have reason to believe that your hardware is stable?

I don't have a reason to believe it's *not* stable, if that's what you mean?

EDIT: I did just realize my C drive (where the save data goes, apparently) was *very* full so I cleared that out, in case that was a part of it.
