In my experience, Bethesda has improved Starfield's launch-day messiness, but it still isn't perfect. One potentially game-breaking bug is now doing the rounds, as multiple users on the Starfield Reddit are sharing their experience and attempting to make Bethesda aware of the problem. The core of it? If you don't start a New Game Plus save after a certain amount of time, your save will crash - and it'll get worse with longer playtimes.
