Save option

[Merlin69]

Could do with being able to save the game especially before confronting Bosses. Most games have a save and load option?

Well that would kind of cheese out the worry of death and that sort of thing. I really doubt they would add that as a feature.

There are ways you can manually save or use the console to just give your stuff back to yourself.

But I personally don't see that as playing the game as intended, so I don't.

You can do it already

To save:
ESC -> log out

To load:
CTRL+ALT+DEL -> kill game -> start it again


The "load" is literally "prevent game from saving so it starts from last saved point"
Keep in mind there is autosave every 20min too (it saves only world, not character)

Seems like someone here never played a survival game before. Main feature is the thrill of beeing in danger and not able to save and reload like you want to avoid failure.

If you use Ctrl Alt Del that brings up the task manager; so effectively you quit the game and then restart the game but that doesn't save you does it?

The whole game and system is about the possibility of death. Enabling this would pretty much ruin a big aspect of the game - what is your problem? You can recover your items and you can even use mods to reduce the ammount of XP lost.

I really wouldnt do that. Chances are at some point you will corrupt your savegame.

If possible build a little outpost with a bed near boss summon spot if you're worried, if you're adept at bulding you'll have one up in 2mins or set up a portal nearby

only if you do that during saving procedure (the lag spike)

if you crash game outside of the saving procedure it won't corrupt, because game doesn't operate on the save file, it loads everything and keeps it in ram

I wonder about that - i obviously dont know - but are you sure that character progression save is always at the same time as world save?

character savesa only during the logout ;d
character doesn't have autosave at all -> so in it's case you don't have to worry about ctrl+alt+del abuse

that's also a reason why crashing people have their characters reverted waaay back while their worlds are partially saved (partially aka revert back to last autosave and stuff between autosave and crash is lost)
