I had a similar problem. The gun isn't working whatsoever. I heard this was a common glitch so I thought if I restarted it, it would work. Nothing. I cannot progress the game at all now. :/ I might have to start over as well. It's a bit frustrating.
That's very bizarre, did anything change? I've not had a crash issue before, especially since the game can run on a potato! No you're right, it's an automatic save, there's a new patch as of recent so maybe download and try that? The gun locking has been fixed too.
