Strangely I havent had any of these issues and I have alot of saved games.
I use this scheme... I have the usual autosave on entering / leaving base.
Then I have a series of 'named' saves x1, x2, x3, x4 I step through and over wright those saves 'in order' as I go. I save every half hour or so. When I reach x4 I start overwrighting x1 etc.
I did notice that when I first loaded RFB it took a looooooong time to save, in the order of 5 minutes or so. I dont know if this is actually related to the mod or not but the first time I passed it off as froze up and rebooted. The second time I went to the bathroom, got something to eat etc. basically 'waited it out' and the save would finish and return to the game. But after two or three of those looooong save times its back to 'normal' and only takes a few seconds.
Now... I sure hope I havent cursed myself.... at least I have a 'recent' save game to go back to
