Project P.I.T.T. Crash When Loading a Save — Safe Checks

Crash When Loading a Save — Safe Checks: Preserve the save before investigating.

QUICK ANSWER

Preserve the save before investigating. Historical reliability fixes do not guarantee that a particular damaged or incompatible save can be repaired.

Isolate the failure

Compare reaching the main menu with loading the affected slot. Keep both the original folder and a dated backup; do not overwrite the only copy to see whether the crash changes.

Sources:

Preserve the useful evidence

Record the last successful save, installed build and whether another existing slot loads. A restore is a return to a known earlier state, not a promised corruption repair.

What the source supports

Updates 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 include saving and post-main-ending continuation fixes. No guarantee of repairing an already damaged save.

The Steam UFS configuration names Windows, macOS and Linux roots plus save, backup and configuration file patterns. Configuration-derived locations, not a tested restore or corruption repair.
