I'm not receiving the error save, but the game will auto save on top of my manual save. When I start my manual save, it'll show the character creator preset rather than my Rook, so I have to load that save twice or use the odd autosave and then my Rook will load. It's incredibly annoying.
Yes this is aggravating the problem for me. Only autosaves seem to remember what your character looks like but everytime you load a new one or a manual save the game automatically makes a new autosave. So it ends up giving me a finite amount of autosaves to TRY to fix the issue. Didn't like a dialogue choice you made earlier? Too bad you have 4 attempts to reload a save file before we've completely overridden everything you could've used!
