Crash while saving game

[CAnD32]

I am having a problem where my game crashes anytime I try to save.

It started happening about 47 hours into the playthrough, after I cleared the githianki Creche and killed everyone within to loot the whole place. I went to the underdark to sell loot, and now whenever I leave the Underdark and save, the game crashes.

I tried validating files, changing from Directx 11 to Vulkan, running in windowed mode, reinstalling the game, deleting the contents of the LevelCache folder (which allowed me to at least save in the Underdark, previously I couldn't save even at the githianki Creche, nor the Underdark, so it's something) and loading a previous savefile and redoing an hour of gameplay, where it crashes again in the Creche.

Is there a fix for this?

Achilles heel are cloud saves and cross-saves. Disable them and try again after a PC restart.

Forgot to mention that I also tried that :(

Same problem here. I left the game when standing before the moon towers before the patch. After the patch I entered, had some battles, went back to the inn to sell some loot, got back to the tower, progressed a little bit more, making some quicksaves and out of a sudden it will now crash 100% when creating a manual or quick save. That's breaking the game for me, after like 130 hours, I'm really upset. :(

Send some crash reports, deleted cache stuff, disabled cloud saves and such, but that's not the issue - it was working perfectly before the patch, it's the patch itself that is the culprit.

I'm pretty upset because I can't play for days now. Gonna leave the game for Starfield in a couple of days anyways and really hope they fix that before I'll return. :( One would think something like this (plus the crash at 60% while loading) would get a Hotfix, but no... :(
