I CAN'T LOAD MY GAME???

[MiAh The King]

Okay wtf? I've been playing this game all day long. Saved it. Named it. Quit. Came back hours later and I can't load it?? Not only that I can't load any of the save files. So what my day of gaming is just gone?

If you've experienced this as well please post here. This is absolutely ridiculous. Of all the things to be broken I can't save my fricken progress? Unacceptable even for an early access.

Got another two hours in with this patch before a freshly built warehouse automatically filled itself with thousands of bricks, which then bricked all future saves.

Between resources vanishing or appearing after loading saves (especially in expedition zones), buildings suddenly becoming (un)explored, and the building logic doing really weird ♥♥♥♥ like deleting or adding massive resource values, ya'll have some serious code-level problems going on. All of the above have bricked at least one of my saves and sometimes the active game (the instantly filling warehouses one is !!!FUN!!!) as well.

I had only played for a hour this morning and just tried to load my save and it brings up the bug report screen. So I have lost my saved game have I?
I hope they fix this soon.

Same thing happened to me. but with wood instead of bricks. So I couldn't gather any other resources because I was filled to the brim with wood. Buildings suddenly becoming unexplored happened to me too. And of course, all my save files not working. I was able to get ONE save file to work from when the game released. But didn't like the start of that game. Can't really keep a new one now.

Also, the HUGE increase in difficulty is ridiculously unfair. I was playing all day and everything was going fine then out of nowhere a million fricken infected came upon my base like a plague. I had towers, metal walls, multiple squads with assault rifles and they just wrecked me. No build up. No warning. Just peaceful night followed by unending numbers of infected. Wrecked my game which was setup on the easiest difficulty setting btw...

i have had 3 campaigns break so far due to being unable to load the game after i exited out, not sure whats the cause, the game will load to about 90%, i hear the static sound of when ur zoomed out far, and then just goes back to main menu, also doesnt seem to help loading further back in autosave either.

also hope we see some balancing changes soon, dogs for example shouldnt be able to chew down a metal gate so quick, hell, allot of the enemies seem to do insane damage to structures later on, which is fine but the dmg seems to scale really quick all of a sudden, perhaps a better damage ramp, i feel we also need better tools to handle the increased strength of enemies, would love to be able to reinforce structures further.

Oh so that is what was happening? I was confused how my 10k warehouse was filled up in like 2 days and why no matter how many other buildings I made to warehouses and fences I build did not resolve the warehouse being full.
If only there was a way to throw ♥♥♥♥ away...

had this happen in my 2nd last campaign around the time i accepted the some people into my colony, suddenly i was overflowing in weapons and ammo, no room to store anything else in warehouse and my people started to starve, so i tried to reload previous save and all were bricked, failed to load.

I think the problem is the amount of saves the game makes that causes it to crash or not load because for me when it crashed/ didn't load i just went back 10 days and removed a lot of saves.

[CptVodka]

Same here. Played ~6 hours ago or so. The game crashed, so i went to play something else. Now, tried to load the last autosave. Crash. Autosave before that.. Crash. One before that.. Crash.
4th one? Success. However, as soon as i came to 6pm ingame, it crashed.

[starrborrn]

done it for me on two seperate pcs with different specs (edit it is also crashing on new game with no saves , tried deleting any maps i had downloaded , same theing poof we crashed. this is a bizarre little bug.

[starrborrn]

i am also using absolute lowest graphics settings in the game and on super easy mode

[Papa-Franc3]

same here, whenever I load or Continue the game, the game crashes. i couldn't even write on the bug reporter

Devs, please consider officially rolling back the update to the previous build. This is obviously a broken build and your reviews are getting hammered because of this critical bug.

[Ceepert]

yep just bricked my game too after 20 ingame days

[Iron Gator]

Trouble still ongoing. Even when change the game version to the previous build.

[AnKor]

Same problem.
