addedDear Campers! The Steam Summer Sale is LIVE and we're in it! 30% off for 2 weeks! This will be a short one as we imagine you all have a lot of great games to play! Something that has now been introduced to try and help address frustrations with progression loss, crashes etc is... AUTO SAVING ! Auto Saving:
addedOnly 1 AutoSave file, meaning if you start a NEW GAME, and you have a AutoSave file already, it will override that
changedIf you save while on a ladder, you MAY spawn at the bottom
changedIf you save while going down / up a elevator, you MAY spawn at the bottom (Unstuck if it happens)
changedAUTO SAVE is meant to be used as a last resort back up, in the event of progression loss from edge case problems. As always, thank you everyone for your continued feedback, we hope you appreciate the last couple updates we've put out and we're excited to continue gathering feedback around these!

Dear Campers! The Steam Summer Sale is LIVE and we're in it! 30% off for 2 weeks! This will be a short one as we imagine you all have a lot of great games to play! Something that has now been introduced to try and help address frustrations with progression loss, crashes etc is... AUTO SAVING! Auto Saving:

  • Happens every 20 minutes

  • Creates a named Save File called "AutoSave"

  • Only 1 AutoSave file, meaning if you start a NEW GAME, and you have a AutoSave file already, it will override that

Our goal was always to ensure we could implement something in-game to help with this, we implemented the Makeshift Campfire but we recognize that we still fall short at certain moments. This will significantly help in those instances! Known edge case problems with Auto Save:

  • If you save while on a ladder, you MAY spawn at the bottom

  • If you save in a Kayak, you MAY fall out of it and into the water

  • If you save while going down / up a elevator, you MAY spawn at the bottom (Unstuck if it happens)

  • If you create a similarly named Save file, it will override that.

AUTO SAVE is meant to be used as a last resort back up, in the event of progression loss from edge case problems. As always, thank you everyone for your continued feedback, we hope you appreciate the last couple updates we've put out and we're excited to continue gathering feedback around these!
