Title says it pretty well. If I try to load a save that was originally created on a PC on my MacBook Pro, the game crashes. Note that starting a new game works fine, or loading an existing Mac game works fine. The other way (Mac->PC) seems to work fine, at least prior to the recent hot fixes.

To be a little more detailed about this bug report, the game will start fine in macOS, moving past the splash screen and the initial load screen. At the first in-game menu option (as opposed to the game launcher), selecting "Continue" or "Load Campaign", then trying to pull up a save that was previously saved on a PC will cause the Mac to crash. Loading a game without the cross save "X" beside it works fine.

For the moment at least, it seems I'll need to have a separate character and storyline for the Mac. That's too bad, because the Mac side seems to support HDR whereas there the game doesn't seem to support that option on the PC/Boot Camp side.

Having the same issue with all of the same scenarios. Was really looking forward to playing on my MacBook on breaks at work and the PC at home but for now it'll just have to be on the PC since that's where I started my furthest save. Its a shame because it looks really gorgeous on the MacBook.

In case this is still happening, you may have seen this from the Mac developers (here) on October 15th:

Sorry right now the saves between platforms are officially incompatible.
They will be fixed as part of crossave/crossplay fixes.
P.S. This will invalidate existing saves I believe

Thanks for the update. I should've realized this kind of stuff would be happening before I took the plunge on early access. Caveat emptor.

Still enjoying the heck out of the game, even if I have to start a new character every couple of days, lol.
