[Resolved] Game effectively reset on NPC recruit mission

<< < (2/4) > >>

Daithi:
Auto save happens prior to launching each mission. Will try to replicate the issue with Ray Case.

Daithi:
On first try, am unable to recreate the problem. Will try again. If anyone manages to recreate, let me know what the steps are.

ushas:
I assumed that it's an autosave issue, so tried a couple of tests with that. It's actually not hard to break, at least not with the linux build v15. The following issues might not be what happened to Nomad exactly but perhaps related somehow:

* After spending skill and stat points in char. creation, and after letting Sam to be defeated on the first mission with Doc, it offers to retry the initial mission. However, the char. creation choices are not saved. it restarts the mission without points distributed. It's easy to re-add those 7 stat points after the bypass turn (though may have lower chances to re-position), but you loose initial 15 skill points, as those can be distributed only during char. creation.

Suggestions: Either make an autosave right after char. creation and load from that. Or allow us to go back to char. creation -> actually kicking back to the main menu does practically that.


* Based on a few tries I would say the game doesn't make an autosave when we go on ally's mission. Restart from home would load the autosave from the last regular mission, if there was any. Meaning I can easily break the game by going first into one of the ally-intro missions after character creation, and letting the corresponding party member die.


* According to the lines in Player.log it says that the game tries to find only Autosave folder. Problem is if there is none, the point above applies even when I have my own saves from before (tested). I cannot load any save unless killing the process and launching the game again.

Suggestion: in case there isn't any Autosave folder the game shows normal load screen or goes back to main menu?

Nomad:
I must have had some kind of auto-save issue... because I played several missions (plus I had picked up both female team members) BEFORE doing the Sam mission.
Theoretically I should have had auto-saves from any one of those missions (not to mention there should have been one before the Sam mission).

Do you have any ETA on the next version release?
Do you need me to start a new game again and just check if it auto-saves correctly before each mission?

I did notice on that last game I played that wouldn't let me start a new mission, there was a current auto-save for that game.

Daithi:
@Ushas - well spotted concerning the auto saves. I'm pretty sure that's how I'd set it up, (and subsequently forgotten) with no autosave before ally missions. Good suggestions, will look at this for V16.

@Nomad - In the region of 3 weeks, I'd say. No need to restart, but would be curious if you just did the ally missions in a row, without doing other missions, as combined with Ushas' observations, that would explain the problem.
