[FM21 crashed when starting a match. Now cannot load save game]

FM 21 crashed after/as the match engine loaded. I restarted the game and now the save cannot be loaded. There is a crash dump file for the time of the crash but the size is too large to attach, so I have zipped the file

[When I Quit game to exit, the game stays running in Steam. Only way to stop it is to completely exit Steam and force it to close FM21 in the process]

As per the title really, when I quit the game it appears to shut down but according to Steam it remains running. Hours played increases so Steam certainly sees the game as being played.

Clicking the stop button in Steam does nothing, so Steam has to be shut down entirely and then restart. This could be a Steam issue, and I haven't been able to find any similar reports.
