save game

[UltraGamer]

WTF, developers ??? Why I can't continue the game right after last moment in the game I've saved ? No matter when you saved the game (in current mission) it loads the current miission from the beginning !!! That's so sttupid

[Ziltoid]

I believe I am having the same issue. You can put a lot of time sneaking around, getting xp and looting items and progressing the current story missions and the game just loads back to the start of the mission when you return. This is ridiculous, and I thought annoying checkpoint systems were bad.

If you are in a mission, it takes you back to the start of said mission. I'm surprised that the save button wasn't greyed out, in the middle of a mission. You can't save during a mission.

This is the dumbest thing ever. are we playing a game from 2009 or is this 2021.

You have already been told in other messages that this is conceived, manual saves do not work in missions, only before missions like autosave or after missions or in the open world of a motorcycle, this seems to be done for great hardcore, in very large missions there are checkpoints. I believe that this is true, if it was possible to save in missions at any time, it would be casual and not interesting. Yes, it is difficult, but if you carefully go through the missions, then you can go through, especially since the choice of difficulty levels is complete. So stop asking for it to change.
P.S. This is not a bug, I will repeat it as intended, it was the same on playstation 4.

Oh god....thank you for making this thread. I freaking hate games with these trash save systems.
They are the most annoying part. Especially if they are putting you back right before triggering a long cutscene which you can't even skip.

Im at the part the guy laid in the camp with a burnt arm, I went out with the crossbow and snuck around for like an hour looting. I get the the camp and fine my bike, it has the save icon bottom right like it is auto saving. I talk to a couple guys and do a manual save. I did this twice second time rushing thru it. Still didnt save. Starting the whole mission over is freaking stupid.

Same thing here, WTF devs, we need to submit a bug report for this. They posted how in the news section on the day it released. This sucks.

We wrote this already not a bug, it was so conceived, it was also on the console, as you were tired of your casualness, in missions manual saving does not work specifically for hardcore, you can google on the Internet and look at old articles about the game on the console, there is also no special saving manuals inside missions, only in the open world, and before and after missions, inside missions there are only checkpoints sometimes.

it's better that way. more realistic.

I refuse to believe this is true in this case. No offense but this section of the game is a major story checkpoint, I even saw the animated save logo in the bottom right corner. The save file is missing from my Load Game menu.

If you go to: %LOCALAPPDATA%\BendGame\Saved\
are there more than one user-id folders? it would be named with random numbers
if there are more than 1 then that could be the issue

so autosave checkpoints should be sometimes, but manual ones do not work here on purpose.

I have 3 folders there, one is a random string of numbers, one Config, and one Logs. So no issue there I guess?

@Amartish I dont quite get what you mean, is the game coded to not allow manual saves on Normal difficulty?
I tested the save system at the tower where your buddy has the burnt arm. I equipped the special crossbow, saved manually. Then reloaded that manual save and it loaded at the cutscene and without the special crossbow in my inventory. As well it created two new Autosaves. Clearly bugged. I took a screenshot...standby

I saved it manually at 5:55:15 PM. But it wont load there, only at checkpoints. But as I said before it didnt save the checkpoint at the next village where the bike was.

yeah that's how it should look so it's not that issue (the folder files)
idk what else it could be

You need to save at either your bike, or a bed that you can use. If you stand near your bike (or sit stationary on it), and aren't in combat, an R icon will appear at the bottom left of the screen. Press R and it will save your game at that exact location.

If you're only at the start of the game and don't yet have the bike then... it's back to the start of each cut scene for you!
