Short summary of your issue Game crash

Game Version
1.02

What platform are you using?
Playstation 4

What OS are you playing on?
Console

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Have you tried verifying your game files (Steam only)?
(DID NOT ANSWER QUESTION)

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
Game crashes when it tries to autosave while transitioning between locations.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Engage in interior combat, then exit the location. The game tends to crash when it autosaves while exiting to exterior location.

Whilst the autosave feature itself does not necessarily cause the game to crash, I have observed that the crashes always occur because of autosaving while transitioning between locations.

Sometimes, this caused the entire save file to be corrupted resulting in total loss of data.

How much "pain" is this causing you?
10

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
None. I am absolutely, 100% certain this is caused by autosave.

Hey @Sapbatang, I'm sorry to hear you've encountered an issue. I've logged this with the team and they are looking into it. Does this happen every time it autosaves? Are there any specific steps you can recall taking in the lead-up to noticing this? Any extra information could be helpful to our programmers!

It does not happen at every autosave. Most of the time, the autosave worked fine.

However, whenever the game crashed, it always happened during an autosave as the game transitions out of interior combat to an external location.
For example, I attack and take over a building and turn it into my own racket. Then, as my gangsters exit the building, the game autosaves and crash.

I am certain of this because each time I restart the game after a crash, the last available savegame is always an autosave gamefile at the point where my gangsters exited the building.

Additional info:

Autosave occured at the moment just before my crew attacked a building. After combat, game crashes.
When I restarted the game, the last available savefile was the autosave file that occured before my attack. So I had to re-engage combat all over again.
Perhaps, it will be better to include an option to turn off autosave. Inexplicably, this option is currently unavailable in the game.
