Severe bug with save file (self.starfield)

Has anyone else had issues with there save files? Recently, after performing a save of any kind (quick, normal or exit save) and reloading said save I've been getting teleported back to what I assume is the center of the cell. It's been incredibly annoying and really I don't even want to play the game anymore.

Obvious troubleshooting I've done:

-reboot game

-reboot PC

-verified game files

-reinstalled game (worked for the first quick save then reverted)

-created a new character (worked fine on that character reverted back to my original save and issue kept happening)

Is my original save now cursed?

edit:

Well, I had found an old backup that I made and was able to recover the character, however with a lot of lost progress but better than nothing.

What I think broke my save was setting down the big landing pad with shipbuilder module. After doing this the game started behaving weirdly mixing the cargo from my ship and the outpost. The gas, solid and warehouse cargo also stopped transferring items and lost all fill progress showing a grey led icon.

It might be a reach but after that was when I started seeing the game just lose it.

I had the same thing happen to me with BG3, but I kept trying the same save over and over and it eventually worked after a few times (Really, I only tried like 3 or 4 times before it worked.) Still don't know what happened, but that time I didn't end up losing any progress and it continued to work fine after that.
