Same I can't load my saved file and yes come to think of it I placed a trash can before I saved and got off. I also have the lab equipment but it was there pretty early on and I had saved numerious times since getting that.
Guess i'm stuck waiting on a patch as well 1 day 2 hrs in and save data loading failed. I noticed it took minutes for the game to save so i always did it twice. I don't want to start a new game so i hope this gets fixed soon and never happens again.…
