Warning about the autosave option.

[Draconic Creature]

It is a lie, the game will forcibly autosave upon character death no matter what you do, so basically the setting is worthless to have in the first place, well done.

[Draconic Creature]

No, any character settings this is the case, the game autosaves on character death, completely ignoring the autosave option alltogether.

[Draconic Creature]

Nope, the game autosaves, always, regardless of what you've done with the autosave option, in other words the option is not total like it appears to be.

Pretty sure its for if your computer crashes or something and you don't die OR Save and Exit.

[Pope Urban II]

Saves on stuff other than death is nice, however.

[Draconic Creature]

No, my issue here is that the autosave option is not total, you can't turn it off completely, if you die your game WILL autosave, completely ignoring what you have otherwise set in your options.

[SuperAArmz2]

For me, When I turn that option on it will auto save every 5 min :/

It does that presumably to prevent people from just ending the game to erase their deaths. However, since it only saves the character and not the world, this has the side effect of allowing easy duplication of items by taking them from chests, dying, and then ending the program.

Also, as other people said, the autosave option is for periodic saves so you don't lose your data when you crash. The autosave on death has nothing to do with the periodic autosaves.

It still is a form of autosave that is not mentioned and is not affected by the option specifically labeled "Autosave", which is a bit misleading.

Well this is the exact opposite for me I turned off auto save a while ago and am now regreting it I built a whole house and had new npc move in I also am sure I died numerous times during the prosses and now after a restart without exiting all my progress is lost

Good job necroing a five year old post, and what the post is about is not even necessarily still the case because, well, FIVE YEARS.

[fresky]

yea the autosave does turn off

[carriedthunderyt]

The autosaves actully save the world aswell. I assume it's because ReLogic just hates people trying to keep an AIW open publiclly for random people who want it.

[fresky]

whe n i play and turn it off
if i alt f 4 it wont save
it only autosaves if the game unexpectedly crashes

[MunkeGutz]

This post is lying, it only saves the character
