No save in GP mode?

[CaptainRizla]

Loving the game so far but is there really no way to save mid GP?

[MarcG]

Agreed, only found out about this game today and it was an instant buy.

Love it, but have very little time. Saving is a must please!

Still no save?!?!

This has got to be intentional now, right?
How can all these new features be added but no save ability?

The game auto saves everything you unlock. Could you elaborate on what you mean?

[Apillow]

What he means, and what we all mean, is that you should be able to save your progress in any tournament, free play, league, anything.

At this point it makes no sense to commit to anything longer than a couple of races, because saving progress is simply not possible. It is beyond me why this is still not being addressed, and I was disappointed to see a release without such a basic option.

Save Grand Prix progress after each race so I don't have to start from scratch if I leave before finishing the entire series of races. Is what they/we mean.

[littlesack]

This is actually insane and even more crazy that the dev doesn't seem to understand why people want such a basic feature. I was about to buy the game but will be holding off until this is added.

this is the most tone deaf dev response i've ever seen and i've been following on the discord waiting to grab it on switch or here.

"saving it saves unlocks wut u mean?"

jeeeeeeeeeeeesus

First, I'm part of the publisher team, I gather feedback and offer help when possible.
I want it to be clear that who are the devs and who are not, hence the end of the username.
Next, I'm sorry that I didn't understand what this was alluding to. If it's not clear in this post I can't bring it forward to the team.
It could be anything, such as the settings not saving, or the livery designs or the unlocks.
When providing and collecting feedback I need to be as clear as possible so that the right features get looked at.
Thank you to Apilllow and Flannel for explaining fully.

You're doing a great job. What he means, and what has been said many times, is that we want a option to save between races. So if you like play a GrandPrix with 15 laps each it would be nice to save between races so you can continue at a later moment.

At least. That's what I still would like to see.

Created the thread out of frustration and disbelief, hence the limited details, but for the responses from other users so far it is clear that this is something that the game desperately needs; the ability to save during a GP, or at least the game autosave in between races.

Posting suggestions in the Discord channel go unanswered. I don't understand how a game that asks you to sit through numerous 10+ lap races will not offer an option to save progress between them. How can this have been missed by both the development team and testers?
I suspect that this wasn't missed and that there is a reason for the lack of saving.

Look, this could be a great little game, but myself, and many others, either do not have the time or commitment to hit out a GP in 1 sitting.

I thought the idea of Early Access was to get feedback from people willing to put faith in the developers and put up the cash to help support them? A simple suggestion by many players, to simply have the game save progress between races, getting ignored all the way through development is astonishing.

I haven't tried to do this yet, but this is quite an obvious problem.

[ChallAcc]

Thank you for this thread. I was about to pick up a copy, but saving is a requirement for such a game.

Games that don't respect my time simply do not deserve my time.

I'll wishlist it for now.

[TERMINATOR-SSD]

well thats put me off right there. I'll buy the game once a save system is in place after each race.

[spacedyemeerkat]

I don't wish to appear overly dramatic but I shan't pick this up now, either. Not being able to save between races seems absurd to me.
