I'm on the most recent Xbox build using an Xbox Series X with all DLC installed and active.
My current save as a Determined Exterminator will no longer load past the last bit of progress on the progress bar. It's simply stuck at "Preparing Game" at around the 95% mark at an estimate. The loading screen still cycles through different wallpapers and artwork, so the game hasn't exactly crashed, but I've been getting stuck on this loading screen unable to either back out or successfully load into the game. I'm able to create new saves and empires and the save loads within seconds, but this particular save will no longer load. It also doesn't load if I try to play as an Observer or another empire in Multiplayer. It's not an old save from a previous build/DLC either, it's a save made within the last update. This save is past the year 2500 and it does have some strenuous settings, but I've had a save go past the year 3000 before and it still loads, and I also don't see why it would get to 95% in 10-15 seconds and then freeze for an hour and a half if the settings were causing it issues. Surely if the settings were the cause, it'd just slow loading down rather than stop completely.
I'd really hate to have to delete this save because it's the save I beat all 3 Crisis factions at 25x strength on with a 2250 endgame start date for the first time, even celebrating a subscriber milestone with a 24hr livestream fighting them. It'd suck if I lost this save like this
