That sucks. So it sounds like maybe an issue that has been in your saves for a while but hadn’t popped up until now.
Comment on Severe bug with save file
JohnDolt@lemmy.world 9 months agoyou can have more than one save per character and it seems that going back to a WAY old save fixed it, kinda ashamed that I didn’t even think of this before lol but man it sucks that save was like 100hrs old and I reverted back by 20+ hours

Indeed, I’m gonna edit the post now with what I think broke the save.

I had a similar issue with Baldur’s Gate 3, I save relentlessly but whatever went wrong it made my saves unloadable going right back near to the start of my game… losing 25+ hours of decisions was pretty crushing and made me not want to play at all.
It turned out to be due to an update for one of the mods I use, fortunately the mod creator changed his mind about blocking archived versions after I made my case and after a week or so of sad trombone noises everytime I tried to get into my save, I was able to restore my game. I hope you find a solution to this problem because who’s to say it won’t occur again. Are you using any mods?

I had the same thing happen to me with BG3, but I kept trying the same save over and over and it eventually worked after a few times (Really, I only tried like 3 or 4 times before it worked.) Still don’t know what happened, but that time I didn’t end up losing any progress and it continued to work fine after that.

Yeah I think I’m gonna have to start manual saving after certain quests. But no, I’m not using any mods. Ended up rolling to a save I had backed up way back, lot of lost progress but it is what it is.
I’m gonna edit the post to add what I think was the thing that started this bug.
