You are the man!!!!!! I had the same problem and same antivirus. i can confirm that once i disabled the Ransomware Shield, the problem is gone. What i find really strange is that the problem came after i've installed Alot/MEUITM... I'm afraid that something went wrong with the new textures.. what a pity!!!
EDIT - I just added an exception to Avast's Ransomware component. now the game saves without having to disable the aforementioned component. And this is much better
