CRITICAL: Save Issue in v.0.0.3-alpha.23267
Version: v0.0.3-alpha.23267:
Issue Description:
the ExitSafe.ffw got created shortly after hitting the quit to main menu Key, but the Image stays stuck in the Loading Image. But since Blackbox is still talking in the Background you are still in game. Loading back in takes a while and Inventory, Manufactury Progress, etc. will be resetted. Your Pickaxe will be back in the Emergency Supply Container and all Chests will be cleared. This is due to most Files going missing. We know about this issue, but couldn´t track it down yet. Helped wanted.
Steps to Reproduce: Play for a few hours, quit to main menu
Expected Behaviour / Solution: working Save Function no matter the playtime / what you do
Workaround (if available): /

Description: This is a continuation from my comment here: https://bugs.autonomicagame.com/suggestions/701717/critical-save-issue-in-v003alpha23267
Saved files wiped and I started over (I had not wiped save files previously; talked to Opa in Discord DM.). I played for maybe 30 minutes and needed to log out. Everything seemed fine until I got to the quest to build a shelter--Q would not work, nor any hotkeys except X, L, J and the hotbar slots. ESC would also not work, so I shut down the game.
When I came back, inventory was partially reset--anything I'd put in a chest was back in my bag, but quests and the two things I'd built (workbench and mfg station) were as I left them. I was then able to use Q and other hotkeys. I checked the crash site and my bag was NOT respawned and the Emergency Supply Container was still empty.
I'll keep playing on this save until I can't :D
Will send zip file for saves to Opa but if you want them elsewhere, let me -

When attempting to quit to menu, or exit to desktop, game occasionally fails to stop running, playing behind the "loading" screen. Waiting doesn't make it end, hard stopping it from Steam works, but when you load back into the game, the task list is gone, and the only items in inventory are 1 credit, and the tablet. Player created chests are empty as well, despite having things in them.
Not sure how to reproduce other than to play. Might have to do with alt-tabbing out and then back in again, not sure, but this is the 2nd time it's happened since the new update the other day.
EDIT: Running desktop in 1080 to reduce lag, might be part of it? -

Gate MergedWhen exiting the game last night I had a full inventory with a pic, axe, hoe, and stuff to water but when I went to continue my entire inventory reset to only a tablet and all the chests had reset as well. It looks like the entire world reset itself as if I just crash landed. Just to clarify the only thing i had in my inventory when i loaded in was the tablet this is what I grabbed out of a chest that I had previously emptied

Description:
This just happened to me. After playing for maybe about 1.5 hours, I tried to log out and the screen hung there, but I could hear Blackbox still chatting and if I pressed ESC I could hear it popping up a menu even though the load screen to the main menu was up. I couldn't let it sit there, so I hard closed the game from Steam. The last quest that popped up was to look for the signal.
I just logged back in and ALL my inventory in all built chests anywhere is gone. My bag is still on me, with 1 Buck Credit and the Tablet only....however, the backpack is also back at the crash site to pick up. Pickaxe and original items are back in the Emergency Supply Container.
Anything I just built is all still there, even the garden plots--but all the crops are gone. I had not built any manufacturing equipment yet.
Please let me know if you need files, video, screenshots, etc...otherwise, I'll start fresh. Thanks for your hard work!! -
