Don't Understand Save Games

[CaptainChaos]

I try to save half way through clearing out bandit camp in case I die but ironically after i saved successfully, i was mucking around the game menus and the game crashed. No problem, I reload only to find out I'm in front of the bandit camp, not in the middle, and I have to repeat the first half. Can someone explain how manually saving helps? Also, only 12 slots?

12 slots is more then enough. most games dont even get that much. As for saving, regard clearing a campa as a single action. Meaning, it will most likely not save you halfway through clearing one. You either save before or after.

The game most likely doesnt save the camp state as "halfway cleared". It either saves it as "cleared" or "not cleared". It might save instantly when you open boxes though.

Make sure to save over multiple slots in case you encounter a game breaking bug. Advice applies to all games.

bummer. so if i die I need to repeat the same things all over?

Reading it now again I see it says if you manually save progress is saved only to the last checkpoint. What is the point of manually saved games then? The checkpoints don't save?

Btw, in Skyrim I had over 2,000 saves. There is absolutely no excuse not to have infinite save game slots in a PC game in 2019 IMHO. Console ports. Blah.

Thank you both though, appreciate the feedback and help. If anyone else has any insight, appreciate it. I hate having to refight the same enemies all over again.

Well I just somehow lost a couple saves. I am now back to July 19th and missing progress on the new assault skin.

It's unfortunately not like Rage 1 where you could hit F5 and Autosave while mid-den... which you had to do quite often because it was annoying as heck if you died and got sent back far.. Wish they had actually enabled AutoSaves on Rage 1, but never did.. had to hit the button, and it was nice it saved your progress.

The dens in Rage 2 are a joke, a few of the spots are difficult if you are just starting out, much like the Recharging Stations or whatever where you somewhat fight waves off without trying to do, you just need to be geared up and runaway a lot if getting killed lol.

I miss the Halo-like Health from Rage 1, but the nanotrite/hp system isn't bad. The game gets way too easy once you start upgrading your abilities, hopefully the new Nightmare mode makes it more difficult, and I hope they fixed the "Easy Bug" which kept reverting players to Easy mode knowingly or not.

I love a challenge but I don't like 80s coin operated game repetition. It also makes me less willing to experiment. DK why they would intentionally break something that worked well in Rage 1; thanks for reminding me, I thought that was the case. Well, nothing I can about it. So far, I think it's fun. It's exactly what I thought it would be that aside. Appreciate the feedback. Least I'm not crazy. About the save problem, maybe in general though...
