Have had this game for quite a while now and i’ve seen alot of improvements so far…
There is just one game-breaking thing for me which makes me enjoy the game a whole lot less and that is needing to pray everytime i need to use the saving system that it will go through.
I get that the game is in alpha and it crossed my mind that it is normal for the game not to save after encountering a bug, But what the game lets me do is just Play on and on and on till i get a crash and my game closes…
It breaks my heart every time i come back to the game and see that i’ve been rolled back for about 2-3 ingame days.
Could we get an indicator that the game isn’t properly saving?
Could we get it that the game crashes Sooner so the rollback isn’t as heavy?
Or could it just get fixxed?
I am honestly not sure how saving works, nor have I seen a large number of reports about corrupted saves. (Failed saves or not saving, yes, corrupted, not much). @Albert or @Ponder might have more information here on how saving works (and what might cause it to fail).
I really strongly doubt it. 90% of the bugs encountered are not fatal (don’t cause crashes) and I can tell you that the devs are not going to program the game to crash!
It will be fixed, but as you yourself mentioned, it is still in alpha. Unfortunately crashes, save issues, bugs, etc. are expected, and in all honesty cannot be fully avoided. If the devs ensured that there were never any issues, the game wouldn’t be in alpha, it would be a stable release. We also wouldn’t see any updates for months (or even years).
@Marty
What are your system specs? Are you playing on 32bit or 64 bit (please also check your settings to see if “force 32 bit” is turned on)?
The times when I’ve run into save issues (where the UI says it is saving but nothing happens) was because I ran out of memory on a 32 bit machine.
Thanks and sorry you are running into this.
