Repeated intro

Hey everyone!

What changed

0 fixes1 addition0 changes1 removal
  • Gameplay
addedFixes -Corrupted save files will no longer hide all other save files and make them inaccessible. Instead they now display as “Corrupted” and can be deleted like regular save files. They also no longer stop new save files from being made.
removedWe found scenarios where it was possible for the backup files to get corrupted, this could, in some cases, lead to your save data being wiped. This should no longer happen and backups are handled much more strictly now.

First of all we want to apologise to anyone that was affected by this and who might have lost their save files.

While we tested this patch as much as we could, it is still a scary one to roll out as it changes how save files are handled. If you notice that your save file has corrupted or gone missing please let us know on either the steam discussion forums or preferably through our discord as it allows us to communicate faster.

We also want to implement cloud saves in the near future, but for now we wanted to get this patch out as soon as possible.
