Any way to save more frequently?

[Dr. Thunderbeard]

This game is incredibly stingy with saves. Basically, to save, I need to either complete an entire dungeon or warp back and redo the whole thing, meaning I usually only get to save about once an hour. If I need to quit the game more quickly, there's no way to save my progress. I heard something about a way to turn on autosave after battles—is there a way to do this, or something similar, to save more than once an hour?

You can just go back to Avalon, but it shouldn't be a big deal since it's very easy to dodge enemies.

If you need to leave in the middle of a dungeon, when you go back to it, just dash past all enemies and you'll be back to your previous location in no time.

Why do you have to save more quickly?

Yeah, it is a bit annoying, but if the dungeon has loading screen into a new area it auto saves, which you can use.

Or if you need to just run past enemies and grab the save that is at the end of most dungeons. A suspend save would be nice but what can you do.

Because A) this game crashes occasionally in dungeons, and B) sometimes I like to play games for blocks of less than an hour

The game shouldn't be crashing and it hasn't for me in over 100 hours so that's less the game's fault and more a you problem with all due respect.

The auto save should happen every time you either finish a battle or move to another area. It should be on by default.

If you're not sure the game auto saved, you can open the load menu under settings and check the clock time.

Hrm, thats weird. I dont have a single crash. Okay, im only 25 hours in game right now, but with no crash.
Normally, its more or less the fault of youre computer then. For example: even RAM OC (yes XMP and stuff like that is RAM OC) can be a part of the crashing problem, even onl, in one single game. Normally.

The second point: okay, i can understand that.

Game has never, ever autosaved after a battle, and I have autosaves on. I have checked this a number of times. Is it a secret separate setting somewhere?

130 hours 0 crash so far on my laptop. I don't know if it can help you, if so below you can find how I set up the game.
Have you tried doing a file integrity check on Steam or adding the game to your anti-virus exceptions?

The only change I made to the game was removing the motion blur following the guide here on Steam adding and saving the appropriate text in the engine file.
I had frame rate issues at first because I tried to improve the graphics as suggested there, but removing that line (that I added) in the engine file is ok now.
(Should be called r.particles..200% or something like that)

I currently have shadows set to low, textures high and max rendering and 60 fps. VSync and Dynamic resolution off. Fullscreen 1920x1080

The crashes wouldn't be an issue if I could get it to autosave after battles instead of just on entering areas

The game doesn't auto-save after finishing battles.

There were a few other people who reported issues with saving, loading and crashing, but I'm afraid I dunno the causes of it, and I never experienced it myself.

I'd guess it's a hardware incompatibility issue or something like it. I dunno if there is any fix for it.

Maybe we might get a patch eventually that improves performance that solves the issues some people are having, but until then, I guess all you can do is trying to return to Avalon if you feel like you have been on a dungeon for too long and are afraid of a crash.

That's what I thought, but a LOT of people say otherwise

[Zanaki]

maybe the confusion is that you need to DO a battle before swapping same-area-zones for it to trigger the auto save, (or you can use a potion/maybe swap gear) because just running in and out won't auto save

other than that, yeah, no auto save for normal battles, for me anyway
