system again broken

[SLMEPHI[GER]]

I played now several times and always after an patch the game is broken in another or an old way. are the patches not tested?
After nearly every patch the game was reset , the save system worked shortly and now its again broken, i tested several times to save and exit and when i restart the game the savegame is gone. i must say i am really annoyed for a not EA game that nearly nothing works half way to play the game.

I have sunken almost 40 hours into this game to get al the achievements. 10 the first time among teo 5 hour saves due to save system glitch, and then 29 the past few days grinding clicks. When loaded this earlier and saw my saves wiped, I saw red, and am even more pissed to learn the save system is once again broken.

Devs, for the love of god, FIX YOUR ♥♥♥♥!!!!!!

One guaranteed way to piss off your customers and GUARNTEE they won't continue to support you is to wipe their saves every update, AND make saving impossible. I know right now I won't buy your next title, or at least will wait a year until you're done updating it.

During the test I had no problems with saves. Could you please describe, what you'd done before saving?

hi, after the update i started the game and my savegame was gone, then i played a time and pressed esc and then clicked on save. after eating i started the game again but tehre was no save. i started the game again and it was still gone. then played again a while, approximately to tier 3 , clicked esc, pressed save and ended the game. a few hours later i satrted the game again and the save was again gone.
A little hint, i have myself a game on steam and on a clicker game a save button is a bit a mess. i handle it another way and think this would be good in this game. when i leave my game room, not depending on if leaving it to menu or ending the game or anything else i start a save routine which saves automatically all data. with this system players cannot forget to save and you have always a specific way the game is saved.

Very strange. Tested it with some people and had no such problems.
Thank about the hint, I'll realize it in next update. And, of course, try to understand saving problem. But I have no idea what can affect on it...

i use another engine but i think the easiest way is to create a file, save data in it, create a checksum and check in a loop if the data is correct saved with a file check and data check. if data is not there run the loop again about 2 or 3 times max. if the data is still not there create a message with an error, then which the user can send you which will help you to debug. for example with data if the file was not found, if the dile was not able to create, if the data checksum was not able to validate,...... this gives the user the info that there was something wrong and the user can give you the data what occured. eventually you also can include data like the users OS and others which can eventually show if it only occurs in specific OS or laguage versions of the OS ....

Also good is what i do , create a discord, test your game then uplaod it on steam and let it test from a few testers of the community (normal players) and i they have no problems, then give it on the official built. i ahd also some problems in my tests which only occured after i uploaded it ebcause of steam settings problems of the dev tools i got from an name change
