A new savegame system now live in experimental branch!
To mitigate the frustration that stems from the elusive crashes we are still hunting, and to make your progress more enjoyable, we are working on an improved save system that will allow intermediate saving within the missions. A first iteration of this new system is now available, but since this is a complex feature, the roll-out will be step-by-step and for now as an opt-in function via the now publicly available experimental branch first. Here you can find a link to the according FAQ: Experimental Branch FAQ
What to expect from this feature:
Progress now should also be saved within the missions. So if you have to exit the game or encounter a crash, there should be an automatically created savegame close to the point of exit. While it is still possible that you’ll have to repeat some steps of the last session, you won’t be forced to restart the whole level.
The “Continue expedition” option now should load your latest save point, close to where you left.
The “Load Mission” option still lets you select a particular mission, which starts from the beginning.
The new option “Load Savepoint” lists your last five automatically generated savepoints.
Minor adjustments and additions in the menu structure.
Other fixes in this patch:
- Implementation of indicators for "hidden" vents.
- Fixed a memory leak that could lead to crashes in Challenge Mode games.
As stated, this is the first iteration of the save system overhaul. You can expect further adjustments in the future, also neighboring fields of the game design will be subject to change. Stay tuned for more, we will follow up with another announcement when we deem this patch ready for the default branch and all players.
