Survive the Fall - Save file not working - Discord link

[Noren]

Looks like alot of people are having a similar issue with the save files not loading,

The more data and files we can provide them with the better, and hopefully they can find the issue quicker.

So..
1. Join their discord - https://discord.gg/toplitz
2. Scroll down and find stf-bugs-and-tech
3. Make a new post and add this info:

(Just copied and pasted what they wrote to me)
"Could you provide us with the savegame and the crashdump for this?

Savegame: You can find it in:
... > Windows > Users > YOURNAME > AppData > Local > STF > Saved > STFSavesV2

Dump: ... > Windows > Users > YOURNAME > AppData > Local > STF > Saved > Config > CrashReportClient
A file named UE4CC-Windows-digits. Check out for the time of creation if it corresponds to the crash. Please zip it and send it to us.


AppData may be hidden, you can unhide it in the file browser.
Please use a file hoster like WeTransfer (if it is too large) or directly here to Discord to share the save file."

---------------------

I used https://www.file.io/ to send the save file casue it was to big for discord. Even a complete computer idiot as myself was able to understand it ^^

Group togheter and hopefully this issue will soon be forgotten.

Hey guys, thanks for your support. We are already investigating a couple of problematic savegames and want to express our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this may be causing you.

Rest assured we are working full-speed on a solution but unfortunately it's super complex due to the nature of the game. Every little change we make has the potential of introducing more problems with savegame compatibility so this one has to be 200% tested thoroughly.

If you wish to help, join our Discord to get in touch directly. We will keep you posted on our progress in the meantime. Hopefully not much longer ... fingers crossed!

P.S.: You can read what else the upcoming update will have in store for you in this announcement: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1579340/view/500574015912412482

Thank you all for bearing with us!

Update on the save file situation: If you have been among the players affected by this, you should be able to load these previously problematic saves with the incoming patch. We sincerely wish to apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused and prevented you from enjoying our game.

However, we have identified a small number of savegames that have been corrupted beyond repair when the game was exited during the saving process (the patch will help prevent this from happening).

The patch is still undergoing intensive internal testing right now and will be rolled out very shortly if we don't find any further issues. Unfortunately, with a huge and complex game like this, there are a million chances where a new update can introduce new bugs if not thoroughly tested but we are getting very close to release now.

This was only possible thanks to your ongoing support and providing those savegames, we couldn't have done this without you, team!

From everyone at Angry Bulls Studio and Toplitz Productions: Thank you!

on what you provided it works :) the save is loading... I'm playing :)
but there is another problem... I just don't know if it's the test server's fault and in the normal game it will be normal (weapons and equipment etc. 2 out of 3 characters disappeared after entering the expedition.. completely... it's not there after returning to the base and leaving again... it just disappeared)

the beta branch fixes my broken save :)

Great to hear the save is loading and you're back in the game! 🙌

As for the missing weapons and equipment - that gear should still be in your camp inventory.

You’ll just need to re-equip your companions in the expedition planning window. Once you do that, the game should remember now their loadouts moving forward and auto-equip them next time.

Thanks for testing!

No, it has been erased from the universe. These disappeared items didn't appeared in camp's inventory. it just have gone forever
