Game is Not Saving in Multiplayer.

[Wassermelone]

Spent 2-3 hours playing with a friend in two separate sessions.

First session, our game reached the point where we did the drinking the psychosis herb scene. After that cutscene we went to the small shelter thing to save, got the text popup the game was saved and noticed save and quit was grayed out. The save icon was spinning forever, we watched it for 5 mins spinning.

We quit anyways, next day, when I loaded (I am host) the game has me back at the spawn area having 0 days survived as if it was a fresh brand new game.

I chocked this up to steam cloud, so I disabled cloud save and we tried again.

Next session we played for 3 hours total. During that time we got to the Lambda-2 location where it says we need a grappling hook. The save icon began again spinning forever. We played another 20 mins. Save and Quit was again grayed out. I chose to restart and reload stating, no point going further if our save is corrupt at this point so I reloaded and I loaded into a partially loaded world where all my stats were wrong and I was able to walk off the edge of the world.

Looking through the bugs forum, I noticed i do not have a multiplayer coop folder in my save locations.

It looked identical to this reported issue. https://steamcommunity.com/app/815370/discussions/0/2519149567499801661/#c2569815696844052034

Hi Wassermelone, sorry to hear it. There is nothing more frustrating than a save gone bad.
As you are the Host, when you start the game and select MP >host.
Then do you use Load save or continue?
Have you installed a mod by any chance?

[Wassermelone]

No mods, I have done both.

load save loaded the link the I put at the bottom of my post, while continue loads me as if its a fresh new game.

Did you save at the roof of the modular shelter or the small Hut shelter?
Many have failed to save correctly at the small hut shelter so I am just wondering if this applies to you.
I'm playing MP everyday for up to 4 hours and more have no problems saving other than I cannot select the save slot I want the save just kicks into the save circleby passing the save slots. But it saves fine.
Our MP saves as Host is located here> C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\148981505\815370\remote
Here's Creepy Jar pinned explaination here the saves are.
Please check if your current saves dated the day you played last and saved is listed.

We did modular shelter save but at that point I believe the checkpoint save is what was bugging out for reaching Lambda location 2 and being told to find the grapple. I believe this check point save is bugged in addition to the small hut shelter.

The timestamps were correct but the saves themselves were broken.

I believe our save got corrupted when the host saved at a framework roof.

same problem

Hi! Please Verify the Integrity of game files in the Steam menus. Right click on the game -> Properties-> Local files -> Verify Integrity of game files. After that, if everything is ok, restart Steam and try to enter the game. All players who participate in the session should do that. Unfortunately, sometimes not all files are updated by Steam so it`s good to do it manually after every update to make sure all files are in place.
If Steam files verification doesn't fix the issue send us your corrupted saves on [e-mail]

Same Problem here, and more. My Friend's not respawn on the last sleeping bed, always rewspawn on the tribal village. Temporary solution for the save corrumption, COBIAN backup and save scheduled every five minutes.

Same problem here, can't save in coop story mode. We've just lost our 4h progress :(

I am having the same problem as well. My group is unable to save and continue to loose progress due to the save issue. Great game, hope this gets fixed!

Creepy Jar has posted this on Discord.
SAVING ISSUES/SAVE ORDER
The host has to save the game at any save point (shelter, frame roof or calendar in story mode). After the 'Saving' icon in the bottom right corner disappears clients can 'Save and Quit' in pause menu. The host can leave the game with 'Quit' in the pause menu after all clients have left the game. This method of saving works best at the moment.

If this doesnt help you then send your save to here as mentioned above.
