Save when exiting does not work, loads previous save only
Submitted
I started a new world and noticed that whenever I exit the game and click YES to save the game, that the game does not save. When I continue the world, it loads the previously in-game saved position. This happens every time.
How to reproduce.
1) World is Ventura Station
2) Play and then save manually
3) Play for a few mor minutes and then hit the Esc key, Click Exit to Menu, Click YES when asked to save the current world before existing. Exit SE2 completely. Go back in and click Continue and it will load in the previous save, not the exit-game save.
I have the same bug
Just providing more information. This issue lasted for two entire days and then resolved itself. I believe the computer was not restarted during those two days, but SE2 was many times. This has happened a couple of times in the past, but not in the .57 release until this time.

Version .2007
It seems like many people are reporting this same bug and we are reporting it differently.
I played for a while recording video. I then stopped and started a new game and recorded the video. I played for about 35 minutes and then crashed my ship. I then went to continue the game but noticed the preview screenshot was from the end of the last game, not this game. I then checked the backup files and NOT A SINGLE save from the 35-minute game was saved.
The real issue everyone seems to be experiencing is that the games do not always auto save, sometimes not a single save no matter how long we play for, sometimes the game stops saving, and when it is not saving the option of selecting to save on exit fails too. It simply does not save on exit even if you tell it to.
We need to figure out the cause, what triggers the saving not to happen. Is there anything in the game code that tells the game to no longer save if a condition is met, like if a specific portion of the game fails then it continues the game but no longer tries to save it automatically and manually at exit?

version .2112
SE2 saved the world up to the point where I took a short break from playing. Upon my return I recorded several videos. About 3 hours later I decided to check to ensure that I had a current backup. I did not. The game stopped making backups since the time I took a 10 minute break from using the computer. Not a single save in almost 3 hours! I manually saved the game and the manual save worked.
I've been experiencing this bug for months now. It happens occasionally, not all of the time. When players first run into this bug they think they must have forgotten where they left off or something. If you record videos then you can see where you last left off... that is how I know the issue is with the game not saving every 5 minutes, sometimes not at all, and often not saving on exit when you tell it to make a save.
