game crash. lost my entire save.

[MAZI_BOY]

was playing for like 3-4 hours straight and the game just deiced that my city needed to be reborn and crashed my game and corrupted my save files. 10/10 game
PS: plz fix this dog ♥♥♥♥ game

Happened to me too, but I didn't lose my saves. Turn on autosave next time, crashes happen.

First save crashed after 6 hours. Second save crashed after 1 hour, and apparently most of my settings were reset after the first crash, so I lost all progress with no auto-save. Fixed settings like custom controls and graphics and my third save crashed after another 3 hours. Forgot to turn auto save back on.

I'll check back in with this game after the first patch.

yeah... this appears to be a VERY rare thing occuring, and it isn't the game that's not keeping the save file... one copy goes on the Steam Cloud (so, that's always there), and one stores locally... save files don't delete themselves, even if one copy bugs out... this sounds like there was no save file to begin with and you have Cloud Saving turned off through Steam... so unless you manually make a save.. it doesn't exist

I've had a save file corrupt already, but looking at the memory log from that time-stamp, I can see what caused it, and it wasn't something easily replicated, but otherwise... the file still exists..

Turn on autosave? 🧠

[Eevilflamee]

Game crashes after 15 mins so your doing great with 4 hours

Where's autosave? lol

[Mordbane]

If anything Devs, put Autosave on by default. Who plays city simulators that don't want Autosave?

[R27]

I lost a LONG session due a f*** crash... Did the developers think that obviously the autosave have to be activated by default???? Until the next time, bye.

What I do first when I start playing any game that likely will require quite a bit of my time, is figuring out the game's save system.

Not everyone wants autosaves enabled, in heavy sandbox games like this I always play with them disabled.

Not just due to performance issues - lag spikes - but also freezes, and occasionally, crashes and even save corruption, depending on what you were doing when the game decided to autosave.

I crashed too, after like 4 hours of progress. I did not mess with the settings, but for some weird damn reason, the devs thought it would be a great idea to NOT turn on autosave by default..

[Bialar]

I would assume that CS2 "isn't for" those who prefer autosave to be on by default, or that it is toxic to expect autosave to be on by default in a sim game.

I agree.

The first thing I ALWAYS do before starting to play any game, is addressing the settings.
Not only to check the save settings, but all other possible "good to know" settings.
Particular with graphics settings regarding motion blur, etc.
I run through all available things in there as a service to myself to not get annoyed from
the get go, because I know that I will have to go in there eventually.
I don't know, it's just an automatic thing my brain requires me to do.

had this happen in my first hour of game play. why is auto save not enabled by default?
