Saving the game

[Goobis BIRTHDAY]

When I save the game, how do I reload it? When I save and exit, it asks me to make a new character. Help?

Next time you go to "New Game" after saving and quitting, a popup will ask you if you want to 'Continue From Saved Game' or 'Create New Character', or something like that.
If you do not get this popup, then you don't have a savegame.
Barony is a roguelike with perma-death, so if you died in your previous run, your savegame will not show up.

Oh okay, thank you so much! Is there a way to save for multiplayer?

Yep, the game auto-saves in multiplayer at the start of every level for each person. Just make sure everybody exits the game on the same level and you can restart the game, no problem.

Bear in mind though, there is an issue right now wherein if somebody dies, their auto-save will be deleted, so everybody must be ALIVE to quit and reload the game successfully. This was introduced intentionally for singleplayer mode to prevent save-scumming, but in multiplayer it tends just to be a huge nuisance since it can prevent players from rejoining games sometimes. At any rate, it will be fixed in the next patch.

Alright, thank you again! If you die and respawn, is the save fine?

[Losername]

Yes, as I mentioned, the game autosaves at the start of every level. So even if a player has died and had their save erased, when the next level starts, they will respawn, and the game will autosave for them again right there.

Okay thank you
