How does saving work in this game?

[swordfish]

there is only Save and exit? I can't save and stay in game? I heard some people saying this saving option does not work you have to hit the saving fountain?
Also do I have to save frequently? As I read there is problem leaking memory files and causing save files to go corrupted? Has it been patched or still the same?

The game saves your progress either when you touch a monolith or when you complete quests. so your progress will be saved while playing naturally.
Additionally you can press F7 to Quicksave, this will save your current progress and your position too.

For the memory leak, it is still in the game and wont get fixed because this game doesn't receave any more patches.
Dependant on your settings and rig and actions you can last a sufficent time till your game would crash (for me it last about 1h - 2h). frequent saves when you are not questing can make this problem trivial.

wish you a lot of fun.

so what occurs when game crashes? I lose my save file or something?

well it's a radical method but it works stable on 32bit systems

I don't know why people are crashing, I run this game on Win 10 in Win XP (sp 3) compactibilty mode and I can play for hours straight without a single crash. I've yet to see the game crash actualy, is it because I have 16gb RAM?

So if I press F7 while my character is out in a field somewhere and then save and exit, when I load the quick save, my character will still be in the field?

I don't see a way to load the quick save.

the more ram you have the less stable it is
you seems to be just lucky

crashed every 10mins on my 32gb

do you use physix effects? that seems to shorten the time till crashes happen drastically.
