Game crashes while loading recent saved games

Game worked like a charm until the boss fight in surface tension. From then on all my save points, both autosave and manual ones, won’t load. It starts loading then crashes. Everytime. I tried restarting game, PC, ran on potato graphic settings. Validated game files in steam. None helped. My specs are more than enough to run this game on highest quality.

I am not willing to restart the whole chapter anew, no time.

Pls kindly help.

I’m supposed to attach the crash dmp file but I don’t see an option to attach files to my post.
