Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
The game appeared to be running fine for a while until it started to slow down and my mechs turned pink. when I went to save the game it was greyed out saying "can only be saved before a mech has taken its turn" and when trying to load a save it said it couldn't because it was saving. this was in the ship screen mind you. after the restart the save folder only had a manual save from 8 hours ago and no further saves losing me all that time as the game had failed to autosave since that mission it seems so if possible i'd like to know why this happened and if there's any way to retrieve those lost saves.
Have you tried verifying your files?
Yes

8gb of system memory is the game's minimum requirement - you'd need to exit every other app you can before starting the game each time. And I recommend increasing your Windows paging file to 32gb.

I mention this because being low or out of available memory is my first suspect for your issues, both the slow/pink thing and the failure to save. There's nothing of concern in that output log but I suspect that was not taken immediately after this problem, is that right?

That is correct yes. So it's a matter of memory not keeping up fair enough thankyou for the swift reply.
