How or when does this save..?

[Stoibs]

No Manual save in 2022? Er ok that sucks and is an evergrowing blight in gaming but whatever..

But looking at the slot in my load game list and the timestamp there implies that it hasn't even autosaved in the last 40 minutes or so either.. huh?
Does this game seriously want us to play in one entire sitting - and has no respect for people who need to leave at a moments notice for real life situations..?

EDIT: Apparently 'Quit' is save and quit and does allow you to continue from exactly where you were next time you play. Why this isn't labelled intuitively or any pop-up telling you of this is anyone's guess.

it saves at the start of every new act, but not right at the start, you have to run around aimlessly until it triggers a checkpoint and there's no indication

check "load game" for timestamps, i would've lost an hour of progress if i didn't think to check the timestamps before exiting the game

game was made by amateurs

I cannot believe they did not have saves linked to switches / specific doors or health/ammo stations later in the game. So strange.

Yeah, I'm currently alt tabbed and have this minimised because I have stuff I need to do at the moment. Crazy in this day and age where devs are holding a save system hostage like this under the guise of 'immersion'.

no manual save? wtf?

It's hard to believe there's no manual saving or even regular auto saving checkpoints.

Not accessible at all.

Devs how about Autosaves at the beginning of the level and regular manual saves throughout, Everyone hates checkpoints

[Stoibs]

Ok, so apparently 'quit game' actually does act as a 'save and quit' which allows you to resume exactly from where you left off after trying just now.

So.. the game *does* technically already have the ability to save on the fly wherever you are.. its just that the devs didn't implement it as an at-will standard save feature for... reasons?

Wonder if some clever modders can get this working, seen it before it things like Kingdom Come Deliverance :P

There does seem to be hidden saves the game makes at key locations inside a level. I died earlier and it set me back to the location i put in a key earlier but not to my last save.
