Save/load issue

[ClemensIOI]

Regarding the recent issue with save/load on Freedom Fighters; Seems like this particular issue is due to a recent update to Cloud Saves, and we're looking into this.

If you encounter this issue please use the following workaround:
Rick click 'Freedom Fighters' in your Steam Library
Select 'Properties'
Untick 'Keep games saves in the Steam Cloud for Freedom Fighters'
Open the folder %APPDATA%\IO Interactive\Freedom Fighters\Profiles
Delete the file 'steam_autocloud.vdf'

We'll update this thread as soon as we have a fix ready.
Best,
Clem

I turned off the Steam Cloud after starting a new game but when I try to load I believe it said "Profiles" pops up for a second and 2 that say uninitialized. It looked like a select a save to load menu but my memory is not good and it only pops up for a second. I was only a few missions into the game and I think I messed up not doing side missions so I am fine with starting over. But it appears it no longer saves the game. In the files I only have SteamLibrary > steamapps > common > Freedom_Fighters and the two folders in there are Save and Scenes. I have Autosave on and it has 3 saves all named 1 with each one being

I am on windows 10.

Fixed now in the new patch, thanks IO!
How about a UI scalier? Menus etc look way too small at 4K.

Freedom Fighters 2? In 2030?

[Jurassic Fart 1]

I seriously doubt that IOI will make a sequel—they been there, almost done that. You see, they were working on the sequel, but hadn't gotten very far with that because of another title that was also in development: Hitman: Blood Money. They dropped the Freedom Fighters sequel so more effectively work on the larger and more lucrative title.

I strongly doubt that the potential market share for Freedom Fighters 2 has significantly grown since it was dropped many years ago—if anything, I believe that there has been a sharp decline in potential profits; while many do enjoy Freedom Fighters, there doesn't seem to be enough of an interest in a sequel to justify production costs...and most certainly not in more than twenty-five years after the "flagship" launch.

Hello Clemens! Is there any way to fix this issue on Steam Deck?

Saves into Steam Cloud has been disabled and file steam_autocloud.vdf has been deleted (path of this file on steamdeck is
/home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/APP_ID/pfx/drive_c) but there is an error of initiating savefiles. Can you help with it please?

Love this game so much and steamdeck is wonderful device to play Freedom Fighters in 2023. Thank you for advice

2023 year, bug don't fixed... =(

[Jurassic Fart 2]

Don't know why this thread was necroed. That bug was fixed years ago, despite Macvenzer's somewhat inarticulate response. I've been playing this game since 2005 on retail CD, and once, for some arcane and abstruse reason, there was an issue with saves...but I think that was over ten years ago....

...But!....

I wasn't forced to buy the Steam version until the original retail version could no longer keep up with the hardware and software advances, when the developer stopped releasing patches (similar thing with Grand Theft Auto IV Complete Edition). Until Windows 10 was released, I was able to tweak the configuration and initialization files to get the game to run. Anyway, not everyone experienced the problems referenced earlier regarding the 2021 patch with their Save files—personally, I was lucky and hadn't any problems, and neither have I experienced Save/Patch issues since then.

Mac, whatever problems you're experiencing with the game are not because of some non-existent bug that IOI still hasn't fixed; there is no such bug. I know. I've probably put in over 5,000 hours into this game.

any chances to see Franchise ressurection?

I understand that developers should not leak information, but at least give a hint.
