... long list where you don't seem to understand probability
Ok. So explain why devs couldn't replicate it. I'll wait.
I'm making a wild guess here -- maybe the development console didn't use compressed saves, to make pulling everything apart easier? That doesn't explain the retail console not reproducing it, however, if it's just one console, I guess it's possible that one person (it was @Obraxis ) trying to make this happen might not have luck.
Also, @Max there were I think two other Xbox saved game error codes people reported in various places, seemed very rare, but they were EDIT: **NOT** the null value error. I can go digging for them if you want.
EDIT: Actually, one more thing: Anyone know how long this bug has been present? Could be it's been here since initial XB release, and has gotten more frequent as more content is added and file sizes got larger (more chances for x 1024 size)

Are you kidding? I just laid it out: hundreds of normal Xbox players versus what, 20 developers testing on development kits (which run better than your average retail console incidentally). The odds of them hitting the exact same issue console players have been dealing with for a while is drastically smaller, which is why it took them so long to pin down the issue. But guess what? THEY PINNED DOWN THE ISSUE. They know what the issue is and announced they will release a fix soon, so why are you grumbling still?
For what it's worth, I'm not trying to be mean... I just don't like when people complain about issues that they don't fully understand and make unwarranted accusations.
I wasn't being mean before but I'm not being nice now. You apparently just want to complain that things weren't fixed fast enough to suit your tastes. I understand your frustration but dude, the devs have been working on the issue for weeks now; they post they are working on a fix and you're still not happy. Don't forget they're working on trying to launch the retail game later this year, still have to add more story and content to the game and are going to start porting the PS4 version sometime soon.
I went into that long rant about hexidecimal coding trying to at least attempt to explain why it took so long, @0x6A7232 could probably explain it better than I could. But if you're just gonna be snippy and not even try to understand that the devs are working hard on this game so everyone can enjoy it without issues, then I'm not going to try to relate things to you that you don't care about.
I don't know if this question has been asked yet but will this patch fix corrupted saves or will we have to start over? I have four saved games all with the same issue and I don't want to lose so many hours of work

They said that when they realease the update it is going to fix them most likely so I wouldn't worry about it. I'm excited
I want to finish my base relocation. I crashed and lost my save when designing a serious base after tearing down the crappy storage site I had in the starting area. And I'd just found the scanner room parts too. I'm just scared to see how much progress I lost because it was a while before I saved.
We seriously need autosaves and multiple save spaces.
XB1S F; Just had save crash on me, null value. APR 6 2017 21:00 PST.
11+ hrs
base in lr
went lab in lr scanned everything got 3 ion cubes, did not have key to terminal.
went topside though west entrance to 250m depth.
save was 5-10 min old.
quit to main to reload.
got null error.
didn't repair lp5 nor comm relay.
didn't goto aurora.
didn't goto quarantine enforcement gun.
did scan grappler.
I just had this bug and now 8 hours of save data is just ****ing gone. "Save data loading failed (A null value was found where an object instance was required). 8 HOURS GONE PEOPLE!!! I understand "Early Access" but wowee. This one takes the cake. I can deal with the unbearable lag at times, but this? Are you kidding me? Do you know how hard it is to play Survival and survive for the first few hours, let alone 8 hours? I had a good base and everything going. Not to mention that, but right after I witnessed the Ship Buster firing, that was when ALL my 8 hours just went bye bye.
I found the cause of my save data corruption. The Quarantine Enforcement Platform. This is the area where when I save it corrupts the save file. And by save if I save within 500meters of the place
I started agin. All the remaining save files i had worked but gave a warning that new terrain might affect any saved bases etc. So i decided to start again... thanks for fixing the game I will look foward to enjoying this game once more.

We could replicate it. We did, twice. That's why it's fixed. It just took us a longer time than we would like.
Less aggression please. Be nice.
Missed the word not, my apologies.

Oops, I'm sorry @Obraxis, I'll be nice. @este_00 you dress fashionably, and have good taste in videogames.
Adding spoiler tag, less giant images next time please -Obraxis

I don't get it. Is this after the new patch? Did the 1/1024 patch go out and this still happened?
Had a freedom save go kaput after 53min
We've not said the fix is out yet. We're waiting to hear back from Microsoft.
