Has the save system been fixed?

[Sambob]

By that I mean can I save as I want to, or do I need to get that save tonic? If not, what is the recipe in the mean time or are there any mods that fix this?

[Noeat]

there wasnt any bug in that save system.. here isnt anything to fix..
and ye, it was nerfed, for ppl like u is there save and exit
recipe is as always in book at alchemy table
u can make tons of them for free right after prologue

or u can use some cheat mod for savescumming.. but why, when u can literally drown in Saviour Schnaps right at begining?

I noticed in tutorial I can now "Save and exit"I was hoping that was just a tutorial/prologue thing.

Did they really nerf the save system?

I wouldn't call the save and exit feature a nerf. If you need to come off the game for real life reasons, it's only reasonable to be able to quickly save and exit instead of trying to find somewhere to save for 20 mins.

I just lost 2 hours of solid gameplay cause a pickpocket went wrong. So they need to add better save features. The whole reason i'm playing on hardcore is cause they game is stupid easy after mid-way. The game needs better saving even on hardcore.

You lost progress because you were too lazy to save the game even once in 2 hours, too careless to consider the risks of a pickpocketing attempt, and too gutless to just go on with concequences. Saving system has nothing to do with it

Yep, save & exit thing is ok, but they also reduced the alco % of saving potions from 20 to 7, making it possible to overuse them without drawbacks, and increased the amount of potions found in the world

Most 'hardcore' game settings I've ever played involved perma death. In that context guess you should count yourself lucky Poos and stop the whinging...

Without the "Save and Exit" I wouldn't have bought it during the recent Christmas sale.
I don't mind the challange of KCD, but I need to be able to quit on a few minutes notice sometimes. And since those times don't announce themselves in advance, this means I need game to be quittable within a few minutes all the time.

[Bandy]

Then you take a schnapps and save, simple. Easy to buy it, easy to make. Buy the game, but make sure on sale, imho the dlc is not worth it unless so...

Well they were never rare before. I remember crafting a massive amount early on and never really making a dent in them.

Save on exit is not a 'nerf' by any means.

Sure it may be exploited if so inclined, but some people playing games are adults and have real lives that may require them to exit in a hurry. Kiddies and some adults don't...

See, you just can´t be nice to people, nor accept other opinions. He just doesn´t like the way saving the game is handled here and you jump right into his face with your antisocial antitude.
Noone may dare to criticize anything about this game lol..

Making false statements using faulty logics and voicing an opinion aren't the same thing

Why, I just criticized it myself for nerfed save mechanics

But when sleeping in a 'sleep and save' bed (of which there are ~101 locations (some with multiple beds) spread over the 4x4km map) once per day gives a maximum time between saves of ~60 minutes if you sleep 16 hrs awake, 8 hrs sleep. An average time since the last save is then less than 30 minutes, and you can further break down the 'interval' by drinking small numbers of Saviour Schnapps, at any time other than when engaged in dialogue, or actively in close combat (uncrossed swords is okay).

So to have 2 hours lost, is a user error, not a problem with the game. The user didn't bother using an appropriate bed when resting, and didn't compensate for not saving while sleeping by using a Saviour Schnapps together with an ordinary bed, or in lieu of sleep with energy providing foods. He also failed to recognise that pickpocketing and thievery are inherently risky - didn't take a Saviour Schnapps before hand to secure the game state.... and then refused to just go along with the failed outcome... all of this is a user problem, and not one with the tools the user is provided.

Now the OP was definitely misguided in his reasoning b/c it was his/her fault for loosing "2 hours", so in that regard I agree with pointing that out, but yeah, salty is as salty does...
