The hunter cow

[joequinto]

I play earn Xp and money fast travel to a outpost then exit to main menu and close the game…. When I restart the game I loose all achievements, money, and kills it makes me not want to play does any one have the same problem

[p00se2]

any antivirus programs running in the background ?

something seems to prevent the game from creating savegame files

[joequinto]

I have just your standard anti virus

[p00se2]

disable it and try

savegame location

\ Documents \Avalanche Studios\theHunter Call of the Wild\Saves\ <user-id> \

Download the COTW Backup tool and run after exiting every round of play. Even exit a LONG play and Save the game with the tool. You can always reload any of the game files you've saved at any point after a future game loss event.

Test it out first to see if it fits your needs. It's saved my bacon a number of times!
It's a PINNED item on the discussion.

That is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ line that support gives for losing saves. Blame the user not the software. The Documents folder is deemed an open folder. Virus software does not stop writes to the folder without an event being published or the virus screen popping up. Virus software never stops a write without bringing it to the attention of the user. (unless you are using a really bad piece of code for virus protection written in a russian garage)

You'll be surprised how many anti viruses do no alert user about this behaviour, however can still be found in the logs.
The reason being is that the computer runs hundreds of write operations even while idle depending on the background processes.

If you have controlled folder access enabled in windows the game can't write to the documents folder.
