No kind of tabbing out of the game or other stuff. And the crash was 10 seconds after starting a “rift” and attacking an enemy. Oh, and i didn’t had any crashes of the game until i was at the 85 monolith.

Or giving some kind of message about doing manual backups. I still think there could be a few backup files in the save folder. It sounded like it should not be a problem these days.Īnyway.
Days gone pc crashing Patch#
We have significant upgrades coming to the saving systems next patch later this month that will stop this from happening on… They can be found here: (if you are on windows)Ĭ:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Saves We do use steam cloud as a backup but the main saves are local so you can access those already. The primary save for your characters are offline already. All I would add is just to clear up one thing. Personally, I also disable Steam Cloud… just to make sure that it doesnt copy a messed up file by mistake.Ĭharacter deleted after crash Technical Support The only current way to ensure that this doesnt happen catastrophically is to make your own manual backups of your saves & filter folders… This will ensure that the worst that can happen is that you lose a single playsession and not your entire character or stash. For example, just alt-tabbing away from the game while waiting for the character screen to load can sometimes cause a crash and this can then mess with the savegame files. the problem is not with the savegames, its with the game crashing while its accessing the savegames - for whatever reason. This problem “doesnt still exist” - its a side effect of the beta game and any instability issues - i.e. The global data file is the one that saves the stash, gold, forge items etc… it is common for all saves in a particular format of the game - shared stash, single stash etc… The _temp file in the Saves folders are the simply the last save the game was able to make - if you look at the datetime stamps you can see that they are very close backups so sometimes both copies are messed up - it all depends on what the game was trying to do at the moment it crashed… Sometimes you can replace the active savegame with the _temp one (simply renaming to swap them out) but sometimes this doesnt work either.
Days gone pc crashing update#
Steam Cloud can also cause additional problems as it can inadvertently update the corrupted file to the cloud - thereby stopping you from retrieving a good version from the cloud… Steam has no way of knowing that a savegame is messed up - it just tries to sync the latest files - and sometimes this causes more problems.
Unfortunately if your savegame is corrupted by a game crash there is very little that can be done about it… There are no online server based copies of your saves - this is only coming with the multiplayer update - for now, everything is local to your machine.
