Death while riding Tame

[IPreferLoosing]

My first battle against the Hammerhead Slug ended up in me dying while riding away from him on my Moa. I died there so no big issue. I can go back und pick my stuff up. I traveled back to the swamp and followed the Radar to my tombstone but there is nothing. It's there on the map but i canf find anything. Greaaaat.

Look in the escape menu, and see if the death bag retrieval option works. They added that when the death bag would fall under the ice in the arctic, but it sometimes falls inside a stone formation that's part of the map.

Failing that, you can always roll back the save. Very easy to do, literally just need to rename a file, and it will load previous snapshot save.

0) The lack of a tombstone after you were killed while riding an animal is 100% a bug.

1) If you are afraid some unpredictable problem, I recommend that you save your Icarus progress to a separate folder on another partition of the drive (or flash drive). (disable Steam clouds, otherwise, when you manually return your saves, there is a chance that Steam cloud will return the original saves).
-------->! You need to save the entire directory c:\Users\"name your windows account"\AppData\Local\Icarus\Saved
You can do a 'full rollback' with this.
2) You can try to ‘roll back’ the save via a backup file, which is done every half hour or when you exit to the ‘character selection’ menu; until that moment everything was fine.
Mission names usually consist of a set of letters and numbers. You can determine which save was from your mission by the fact that these *.json files will have to have the latest creation date.
