Hi crinrict,
When I first tried to play after the updates, I tried to resume my save but that resulted in an endless loading screen. Since then and after the updates, I am loading the game from the load menu. Because I have been trying different saves to find one to work, that has been the only way I have been getting into the game recently. I also did try a save as when I got into one of the games and then I exited, cleared out the LE and cache files, reloaded and tried to get into the newly created save. Same error occurred, although I do not believe I ever got the endless loading screen with the newly created save. But the LE was still getting generated. I have the original saves all backed up from before the patch, so I will try to just do a save and see if that works. I will let you know my results.
Thanks again!
