Somehow, during the heli SC, the game generated a save file it's unable to load back. This caused a game crash to Win desktop with a meaningful error message. During last playthrough, new tasks were being assigned to PC while mission was already failed (helo was destroyed, pilot alive). {F18052} {F18053} {F18054} {F18055}

Steps To Reproduce
Preconditions:
- Run the helo SC on custom regular difficulty (expert settings, nerfed expert AI at 0.8) + show HUD waypoints (not permanently
- User save before being diverted to attack vehicles
- Took down the 2 jeeps (emptied rocket), 3 footmobiles with MG, theme ordered to drop troups at geodesic-shaped facility
- Destroyed the helo while landing, troops and copilot disembarked
- Heard "LZ is too hot message" and ordered to take out mortars while helo was crash
- Mission failed immediately after as helo was destroyed
- Tried to reload from last save
Expected behavior:
- Reverting to the last save after mission failure brings me back to the last save (automatic or user) If it reverts to an autosave, this autosave doesn't spawns PC in a crashed heli (I'm reaching out I know :) --> OK.
- Restarting the game and continuing the Helo SC produce the same results as 1 --> OK
- The game provides a way of selecting which save file one wants to continue from --> OK
Actual behavior:
- Reverting to the last autosave crashed from "you are dead" menu crashes the
game with attached error message --> KO
- Restarting ArmA 3 and loading autosave still results in a crash --> KO
- Can't select another save file --> KO
- Restarting ArmA 3 after moving last autosave file elsewhere and loading last usersave results in a crash while loading autosave --> KO
- Restarting ArmA 3 after moving last usersave file properly loads first usersave file --> OK

Same thing happened to me today with infantry showcase. Files uploaded. Had a user savegame already, then suspended, creating continue save. Crash will always occur when loading that continue save. Current development build.
