The update has just downloaded and updated the game but now when I try to continue my game it hangs on the loading screen. Both the autosave and the 2 manual saves I have experience this. It is like the save loads and the background sounds change to the level but the screen stays on the loading graphic. Anyone else experience this or can suggest a fix? ---

I finally managed to fix the issue by verifying the game in the Epic Games launcher. Worth trying if you have a similar issue. ---

Same here. Scylla mission, killed it with extreme difficulty, but now no saves will load. With the bugs that make a mission unfinishable (creature inside ammo crate), and now this, I’m done with this game until something changes. ---
