Update:

Just reached Day Six and I am hard blocked from proceeding in the game. Whenever I reach Stonemarket Plaza, I receive a notification saying "Objective Incomplete". When I get to South Quarter, no Enforcers spawn in Stonemarket Plaza or Garrett's apartment, nor does the note in the apartment directing the player to Black Alley.

When I travel to South Quarter via the Docks instead of Stonemarket, the game continues as normal, Enforcers spawn, and I meet the Keepers in the Graveyard, however, the "Objective Incomplete" message appears as soon as I enter Stonemarket Plaza afterwards.

When I climb the wall to enter the Keeper Library, the cutscene for the beginning of Day Six plays again (Caduca's murder discovered/Garrett's trial) and instead of beginning the next mission, I spawn somewhere back in Stonemarket.

Extremely bizarre bugs present here and I'm not sure what to attribute this to (the base game or v1.11.1 of Sneaky Upgrade). Please help :(

Update - 9 Jan. 2024: I have managed to solve all of the issues present here by downgrading to v1.1.10 of Sneaky Upgrade and using someone else's saves I found online. Have managed to complete the game with no further issues after doing this.

Update: I have just completed the Sunken Citadel mission after starting a brand new game. All worked fine until after completing the mission where, after arriving back at the Keeper Library, I am experiencing the exact same issue as described above.

No matter how far I progress into the Keeper Library, any quick saving and loading results in my position being reset to the start of the map (Garrett's room in the Keeper hideout) and all of my items and loot lost.

If I load back to a normal save from an earlier level (such as Sunken Citadel), quick saves/loads work fine.

Absolutely no idea what could be causing this issue, so any help would be appreciated as this is hampering my ability to progress in the game.

Edit 1: I just completed The Sunken Citadel a second time. All saves in The Sunken Citadel work fine but the issue reappears as soon as I return to the Keeper Library. All saves and loads reset me back to the start of the Keeper Library with my loot and inventory gone. This isn't solved by loading my save in The Sunken Citadel and recompleting the mission. All saves in The Sunken Library are broken.

Edit 2: Looks like it is quick saves that are broken. Having tested further, normal saves are indeed working fine but quick saves intermittently break. They'll work in one mission. then break in the next. For example, only normal saves and loads worked in the House of Widow Moira mission, but now they're working in the Clocktower mission.

Edit 3: Just finished the Clocktower mission and reached Stonemarket plaza, now both normal and quick saves are producing the same issue. Can't progress like this :(

The only changes made to my game is 1) EAX being enabled per the Steam guide above, 2) I have disabled "Plaintext Save Names" in SneakyTweaker, and 3) increased quick save slots from 2 to 4.

Will enabling EAX per the instructions here cause Sneaky Upgrade to break at all? Steamcommunity.com

I have this weird issue where after installing Sneaky Upgrade v1.1.11 and enabling EAX per the instructions above, my load times increased significantly.

Worse still, during the first South Quarter level (after End of the Bloodline), whenever I saved and loaded (both normal and quick saves/loads), my position would be reset to the start of the map and I'd lose all items and loot (including arrows). Saving and loading was working fine in the levels prior (aside from load times being pretty long).

I did a fresh install of Deadly Shadows with Sneaky Upgrade but didn't enable EAX this time and my saves and loads are working just fine now in the South Quarter level.

Edit: On the fresh install, I also disabled "Plaintext Save Names" in SneakyTweaker.

Any idea what might have possibly caused the initial issue with my saves not saving/loading correctly?

I really want to play with EAX enabled but I'm worried that it may be the cause of my saves and loads breaking the first time around. Not sure if the Plaintext Save Names previously being enabled played a role though.
