saved while falling

[Werner]

hello,
i wanted to load a file while falling into death but i accidentally saved. Anything i could do?

Load previous save or restart a level.
Happened to me a couple of times back in 96 lol

[Werner]

when i restart a level, does it go back to the number of saves i used on the start of the level?

Generally, you should never just use one save slot if a game offers you several. Use up all slots, then start back at the top of the list - that way you always have a large number of "fallback positions".

No, it keeps counting up regardless.

Return to previous save or restart the level.

I just had an idea. I disabled could saving for this game before closing it, deleted the save and turned on cloud saving again. Now i have my save before making this bad save back

F5 Quicksave
F9 Quickload

Thats common most games.

regarding the saves:
The counter in the screen goes up.
But it does not count towards the 86 save achievement. There is an additional invisible internal counter for this.

Lesson learned today? Let Lara die before doing anything, it will prompt you the loading screen only not allowing you to save.

yep. I dont even know why i wanted to load while in the air. This was the first time i did this in my 15 hours playing this game xD

Use Level Restart.

And alternate save slots. There's more than 30, you're just boycotting yourself in the long run if you keep only using one.

So, yes, lesson learned (and if you are trying to go for 86 or less saves on your first playthrough, I advise you to use just 1 save at beginning of level and 1 save at the middle of the level, 2 at best, the last levels may use the remaining saves you saved.

[UltharCat]

It can also be the other way around

Tomb Raider was literally the game that taught me to save in multiple slots back in the day.

Now days you have the appreciated level restart. At max you'll lose 30-60 minutes. Sucks, but imagine a busted save in Atlantis with your only choice being a complete restart.

Think back in the day I was playing Tomb Raider 1 and 2 with damaged memory card (so not saving).
Good old times where "finding glitches" was a life saving sometimes. (still remember myself trying to leave Midgar at FF VII and getting near the end of RE 1 too without memory card).

Ah yes the classic cursed save leading into death, almost as iconic as getting through a difficult portion of the game thinking ; "wow i'm not going through this again i better save now" only to pick load instead of save, therefore having to do it again lol

we've all been there, fun times xD
