I know that the game will end, but can you continue with the old safe will not delete it? Or if, for example, a save occurs during an event, won't it continue after going to the save?
When your game is ended by the End is Near signal, you can reload the same save and you are given time to correct your error. Be sure to delete everything about it. No drive, no database, and to play it safe, reset your power systems, too. Then, you should be fine.
