Yes there are still a few issues with saved games. The paratrooper being loaded when the save is made is one to avoid if possible. You may also want to turn your autosave on to save once a month, in addition to your manual saves. That way you have more options if you do encounter problems. As for recovering your save, you may want to try the editing forum, some kind sole in there may volunteer to take a look at it.
