Game ai stopped - Save corrupted.

[Winkoloss]

Hello,
my game ai seems to have just stopped. The ships just stand around, despite being subordinates assigned to trade. Also I cannot change station modules or assign subordinates. I also accumulate for example 30+ transfer credits upkeep missions.

Version 6.0 HF3
No mods or scripts
Game start is the queens herald
Nature of the problem as described, just chilling on TER station in Saturn I.
Installed AMD Adrenalin 23.4.3 from 23.4.2 (but it was still running for hours after that)
No error messages

DXDIAG and save file: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7eqcju2va7fk ... Gq66a?dl=0

Hi, have you verified your game installation since HF3?

You have had several vmswitch issues that *might* explain your game hangs/freezes:

vmswitch.sys missing for component: amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-d..s-vmswitch-netsetup_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.2913_none_f8dd34aa10ba9d6d

You also had several X4 issues reported which could well be a result of your game trying to switch back and forth between dedicated graphics card and onboard graphics (just a theory though).

The only other thing from your DxDiag is that your USB headphones/mic (Kopfhrer/Line (BC USB DAC)) are using a very old and generic Microsoft driver rather than your more recent Realtek sound driver.

I'm afraid it looks like your savegame is corrupted, and is missing a whole load of data. I'm not really sure how this could have happened. Did you run out of disk space at some point? Or get any other kind of error message while saving? Either way, you're going to need to revert to an earlier save, sadly, as there is data quite simply missing here.

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!!!!!!1!11!!.........

Anyway, I still have 300gb+ on C and D, so no issues there.
I did notice however, that the game, when it was in the background, had like 5fps sometimes so maybe my laptop switched to internal but it was fine when I switched back to the game.
Also no error messages while saving, but I`ll try the verification thingy.

Is there a easy way to see which saves are corrupted, because this is my last save out of 9?

All 670 files were successfully validated.

Unfortunately not. If the corrupted game shows as unmodified then the problem must have happened while the game was actually saving, making it very hard to spot. But if you load up a save and all the ships seem to be doing something, then it's a fairly safe bet that it's a complete save, because the data that handles that is close to the end of the file.

If it gives some insight for you, I also uploaded the last save that I found to be working.

Thanks for the help

Edit:
It's save_009
