For reference, Windows 10, Steam, not special, version, I just bought the Season Pass.

So, I started the game yesterday, hardcore difficulty. I did the first chapter, left Moscow and reached Volga. Today I went through the first mission in the church, cleared it and went back to the train. Then I went to the docks and met the mechanic.

Both yesterday and today, quicksaves worked somewhat fine (There was something about some quicksaves not loading when they should, but whatever). I kept playing, met the guy, went down, explored a bit, saved again, exited the game, reload it, and there was I again atop of the crane.

I played again, went down, explored a bit, rescued Artyom's wife (Anna? I'm terrible for names), went back to the train and saved after a small chitchat. Loaded again after a while the game, and bam, again I was on the bloody crane, meeting the mechanic again.

I'm looking at C:\Users<My User>\Saved Games\Metro Exodus, and there are file from the time frame when I went back to the train, but in the saves menu only appear the ones from the time frame when I met the mechanic.

Any idea of what cold be happening? Thanks!
