I have a ridiculous amount of hours in it already on console and i can confirm certainly that the workaround untill a patch is done works reliably. Im even getting lazy with it. Just don't use the normal "save" either. Make new "save as" at times and every once in awhile check to see if the autosaves corrupted. Only 1x has one of em did so. I just made a new manual save. Deleted the corrupted one then went back as normal.
Yes agreed though the crashing sux. Happens too much. Not for me when talking or doing mundane things. Usually mid siege if anything and once while in the inventory sorting after a big battle. Does hiccup after battle talking but has yet to crash during said time. I always save before a siege starts or a big battle anyways. Least losing 15min is better then a campaign. Wish i could send a message to everyone beforehand as a warning bit ill still recommend this game 100%. I just tell em the issues and a fix and the fact that most all new big ambitious games has some issues at the begining.
Understand noones scammed. They had no idea of this bug being a thing before and couldn't really have since it just came out on consoles.
I say if they make it so autosaves or the basic "save" button deletes the save first the remakes a new one it would likely fix the issue long enough for em to figure out the real underlying issue. But maybe the next patch which is bound to be soon will resolve this. Its not a huge AAA budget team either. Give credit for everything else. No other game is like this on consoles at least. And they been working on this for a very long time. They care. Feel bad for em just as much as this bug effects the ppl

I used the work around, it actually %100 worked, haven't had a corrupt file since.
But it's not the point, I'm up to the stage on the game where I am fighting the empire every second, aggressively being attacked and therefore aggressively trying to destroy them, taking prisoners, sieging towns & castles etc. And it's these points (some of the best parts of them game) that it tends to crash most.
Its crashing every 5 - 10 minutes, load time is another 5 - 10 minutes, I'm not even getting a good run when I play it.
I love this game, I even got a friend to buy it on ps5, I'm not bashing the game, for me it's incredible, which is why it's so frustrating I cannot play the game properly, I tried to play this game and disregard the crashes but after a while it feels like I'm doing way to much to have a chance to enjoy the game for over 10 minutes, this game wasnt made for PS4 to handle at all.
And I disagree with you when you say they knew nothing, they would know something about the games defects on consoles, if they arent actually testing games on consoles before release then isn't that Incredibly foolish? And if they are testing the game (which I believe somebody would have) you don't think they would have run into 1 of these game breaking issues?
It feels like a huge scam, paying full price for a game that barely works on the system I have? Having to find work arounds and only having 10 minutes of decent gameplaye each time I load the game? I'm sorry but that's a scam, I'm taking my money back & re purchasing when it's on sale & I have a ps5.
