Kashyyk crash

Hello together, this bug still exists on next game plus. My son encountered it yesterday and I can confirm it for at least PC and on the Steamdeck that this exact saved game location is corrupted. But I found a solution!

Fix: TLDR; Remove/Rename the corrupted SaveGame File so the game will recreate your save file from the Backup Savegame, file which resets your game progress back to the last meditation point you visited.

Step-by-step guide:

1. Start Fallen Order, click on "Load Journey" but don't press confirm yet.
   
   
2. Identify and take note of the entry of your crashing save.
   For us there were two entries (as we were playing NG+), with the second one crashing all the time on load.
   
   
3. Then Alt+Tab out of your game and go to your Save Game folder. You find this for either system here:
   • Linux/Steamdeck:

     ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1172380/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games/Respawn/JediFallenOrder

   • Windows: Under your Documents
     

     Saved Games/Respawn/JediFallenOrder
     

4. There you will see the following files:
   • Backup00.sav
   • Backup01.sav
   • GameUserSettings.sav
   • SaveGame00.sav
   • SaveGame01.sav   <--- Rename/Move/Remove this file if your corrupted state was also the second one.
     
     
5. Tab back in into the game and press load on your (previously glitched) save state.
   
   
6. Fallen Order will now display a message like "Your Savegame file has been corrupted. Resetting to last Backup state".
   
   
7. You should now start back at the Mantis (or any other meditation point on Kashyyyk) with only having lost the progress between it and the workbench. For us this was like 10 minutes of gameplay and 2-3 lore entries.
   
   
8. Done! Enjoy your NextGame+ run!
   
   

For the curious: As far as I can tell, the Backup save is only saved on fixed locations in the game, like the mantis, on meditation points or while entering a new planet. The SaveGame File is constantly written when you see this "when you see this icon the game is saving, do not power off" or something like that. By removing that corrupted save file the game recreates the save file but from the last "working location". I recommend not saving / quitting at that particular workbench, so you don't have to do this again, although I did not test it how repeatable this is. But if you are reading this, I would assume so.
