Expect to see nothing special. Ignore the pauses and slight stuttering every 4 minutes or so as best you can; it is due to the console limiting recordings to a maximum of 4 minutes, and occasionally failing to tell me when the 4 minutes are up.
Basically, I'm running around on land doing my usual end-of-season foraging. At the end of the night, I go to bed. I get the screen telling me how much money I've made, and - if I bother to talk to anyone - any relationship changes, followed by the usual Saving Game message. The game then crashes me back to my home screen. When I relaunch, I'm back to Summer 28 Year 2...
It doesn't matter if I unload/reload my artisan processors.
It doesn't matter if I fish or not (though I would love to have those fish I caught back...)
It doesn't matter if I cut grass around the map or not
It doesn't matter if I chop trees/logs or not
Attempting to fast travel to the merpeople village at night was an epic fail - it crashed instead of loading the area
I've rebooted the console multiple times
I've deleted the local copy of my save, so the Xbox would download it from the cloud
I definitely have space on the console's drive - at the time when all this started, I had 19gb available
I'm out of ideas at this point. It's reaching the point of unplayability and that is heartbreaking.
Will be at least a few more weeks until I can fix the PC, and even then...I was playing via Gamepass...
