Project P.I.T.T. Crash When Loading a Save — Safe Checks
Crash When Loading a Save — Safe Checks: Preserve the save before investigating.
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.
