As stated in the name, my Ark Ascended file is having issues saving, and when I load in, I and my dinos load in exactly where I saved from previously, but the entire world is reloaded from the previous exit save (any levels and experience I gain are reverted in the process, and any work I've done is gone, including building, crafting, and gathering), with seemingly no rhyme or reason. I've tried saving multiple times to fix this, but it doesn't seem to help. In addition, while I haven't done excessive testing, all the silica pearls I collect are disappearing every time I reload, as well as any items I craft that use silica pearls. I've lost several ascendant scuba items and all my electronics multiple times just trying leave the game for a break, and coming back later. Storing in dinos doesn't preserve said items.
And for some added flavor, a Procoptodon I recently tamed reloaded in, and now won't let me access it's inventory to put a saddle on it or feed it.
Constructive advise is appreciated since I'm at a loss. I'm playing Single-Player if that helps at all.
