Thanks for the warning, even if it might not happen that often.
For the 2 saves at the same time, did either of them work or corrupted each other?
Didn't try the autosave, the quicksave was borked. Deleted both wholesale.
My software Spidey-sense says that whichever saved second is OK.
I'd say that either the opposite is true or both are borked due to the following considerations:
I assume the autosave begins immediately after the cutscene, before I run through the hoops of seeing that the cutscene is over and then either going into the save menu to type a save name or hitting the f5 button and it was my save (the one that started after the window of human reaction time + actual saving) that was definitely corrupted. After the borked save, subsequent saves didn't even appear in the save list, so I wouldn't trust the entire game anymore at that point.
I'd have to deliberately test overlapping saving in order to recreate the results and at this point, I'll just not touch autosaves anymore and hope for the best.
