I backup every 4-6 months game time and autosave every month. OOTPb really needs autosave and backup automatic rollovers. Lots of other games uses these. That way you would have say 5 autosaves from the last 5 months that just always were over written same thing for backups.

Whenever you aren't able to save an OOTPb file it is almost always a problem with the universe save file iteself and then the slim chance its some kind of funky computer problem. It will never be a steam issue and it will really not be an OOTP program problem/application problem either.

again try a new universe and report back
I uninstalled OOTP and bought it again. Let's see if it locks up again in the middle of my 3rd. season.
Thanks
