Weird thing happened

Can a game save become somehow corrupted so that it affects FPS?

 

I was on day 58, driving through the pine forest on my motorcycle when all of a sudden it was like I hit an invisible wall and I bounced back.  Trying to go forward again, it happened again to where I'm floating in the air, then finally came back to the ground.  I proceed again and then it happens again and again and again.  By this time the game was unplayable because it was a slide show.  I hit F8 to see FPS and it was at about 3.

 

So I quit the game and restarted.  Same thing.  Then I quit the game, rebooted my PC, and restarted the game.  Same thing.  Finally, I started a new game to see if I'd get the same thing but it was fine.  I then went back to the troubled one and I was still getting only about 3 FPS.  Obviously unplayable so that play though was done.

 

It seems something happened to a file(s) somehow to make this happen.  Has anybody else ever experienced this?

Did you perhaps lose a drone? There's a known bug in the current alpha where the drone gets stuck/lost and causes huge fps drops and weird invisible wall behavior like you described. You'll either have to try and find the drone, or delete it if it is not retrievable.

I've had the missing drone issue before but that wasn't the case in this instance.  It was just really bizarre.
