Pre-Endgame autosave automatically triggers end game

[Aerendel]

Issue description:

After completing the last main quest and triggering the journey to Ukaizo, the game creates a PRE-ENDGAME save slot. As far as I understand, this slot should be there to be loaded to return to the last point in the game before Ukaizo end game (from which you cannot leave) if one wants to keep exploring Deadfire and finish quests (or perhaps start the new Beast of Winter DLC storyline?). Unfortunately this autosave does not seem to behave as intended because it automatically triggers the end game after going in and out of any other location (see repro steps below).

Either there is an issue with this autosave, or it is misleading and pointless (I hope this isn't the case).

 

Repro steps:

1. Load the (PRE-ENDGAME) save that should be available after reaching Ukaizo.

2. Travel to and enter any location requiring a loading screen (ex: Nekataka)

3. Leave location by sea to return to the world map

4. End game ship attack cut scene should trigger instantly after loading of world map

Hi Aerendel,

 

I've added your issue about the pre-endgame save automatically triggering the Ukaizo fleet battle SI upon any area transition.

 

Thanks for posting!

I'm having this same issue, and it's preventing me from playing any of the DLC content. Any word on when we will get a fix for this? Or a workaround? or anything?
