Hi JayByrd1979,
First off, thank you for your kind words and support 
I saw your other post and responded there a moment ago.
I’m sorry to hear you ended up experiencing a crash when saving, I know how distheartening that can be. Did you notice a drop in FPS leading up to the crash at all or any other indicators that it might happen?
I think as this issue is persisting for you in the latest version it may be helpful for the team to have a look at your save. While they can’t fix and return saves, they would use it to try replicate the issue on their end and for testing fixes to be released to the community as a whole. If you’re happy to do this I have instructions on how to do it here: [Save File Request]
