how many in game hours did you play cause it look like it was happening around 20 in game hours? so the first few new saves work for me then bam bad files again.

Ah really? Previously I couldn't even save/load a new game so I thought this was progress. Only logged 8 hours putzing around doing burgl stuff.  

I'm curious if I swap the world files if all my stuff will be there on this load or if it'll break it.

maybe you ran into two bugs or i haven't ran into new save bug. I was able to save new files and load them  just after some many save no go again.. let me know if you try world files

 

It is a given that the game will have bugs and things that need to be worked on. It is in preview after all, however if the game’s fans and players can’t even get in to play then this game will go nowhere and you’ll have created it  for nothing. This thread has 4 pages filled with people unable to play based on the same issue, myself included. It’s been 3 days for me that I have been unable to play. It’s starting to feel like the creators don’t pay attention and don’t really listen to their followers on issues. Please fix this before most of us forget this game existed.

I had to delete all my saves and just keep 1 for the new world that i created, it still have the ghost icon but its loading even though I had the same problem. (I lost about a 88days and a 60 days in game save)

Hey guys, Yeah a lot of people are having this issue. I've also created a thread on the Steam Community Forums and have emailed Obsidian a copy of my save files so hopefully some progress is made soon which i know will happen soon. Just give them a bit.

 

If you guys want to view my thread over at steam it's here in-case it might help someone. There are little things and workarounds you can do with it

That really sucks! 88 days lost is why they will end up losing players. No one wants to play a game that doesn’t work let alone causes such hard work to go down the drain. I’m sorry

Has anyone heard or seen anything from the devs on this issue?  It's been 5 days of not being able to play anything but a new game for me, and it is really frustrating.  (Not only am I off this whole week and was hoping to spend a lot of time playing, but I convinced 3 of my friends to buy the game so we could all play together, and our first game was when it crashed on Friday night).

I had 219 days then it started crashing.

Im just being patient but hopefully something arrives on Patch Friday.   I got a response from them and I trust theyre diligently working on it.

I have no doubt they are working on it, but it is still nice to know someone has heard from them.

I just received a reply from sending in my save files.  Hopefully we will see a hotfix soon.

All my saved games from yesterday are gone... as a matter of facts, all the saves since the Aug update is missing/won't load. I reinstalled the game and now they're missing from the saved list completely. 

Same thing happened to me yesterday. Although mine started out with the "day 0" bug. No matter which save i tried it always loaded on day 0. So I uninstalled and reinstalled. Once I got back to my save list, all of the saves after update 3.0 were just gone, which caused me to lose 20+  in-game days of progress. I tried loading the last save it listed (which worked fine) but it's doing the same thing to the saves now. The game allows me to save, but after I close the game and start back up, it completely resets my saves. No new ones, and the old old saves that I deleted are back.  This is a nuclear warhead of a bug. Between this and the crashing on load bug, and the crash when building bug, it has all but ruined the game for a lot of people. Hopefully they're able to get this sorted out soon. This was quickly becoming one of my favorite games, and I hate that there's no point to playing right now as all progress is lost the next time you start the game.

Hello, I also have an issue with the saving system. Anytime I try to load a save (in the main menu or in the backyard) or save my game, I get a never-ending loading screen that says "loading saves." I only have 4 hours worth of experience and I play on Xbox one s. Why does this happen and is there any way of fixing it? If there isn't I'm going to be fighting for a $40 refund. Apologies for the bad photo.

So I run into this every now and then. I play on Xbox and have Ultimate so this may not work for everyone.

 

When this happens, I close game on Xbox. Open GamePass app on phone and load game. Login fully to game with no issue. Log out of game. Close game pass app. Load Xbox. Always works (so far). It seems the Xbox gets stuck trying to load info but never "sees" it.

 

Hopefully this helps others.

Can anyone tell me is the save game files have to be uploaded while online or can you upload the saved game files off line because it's not loading anything I have been waiting for about half hour for the files and none of them are showing up off line game and or online files. I'm on Xbox one series x. I've tried uninstall and reinstall alone with the updates nothing. I'm getting a little bit mad and about to say the hell with this game. But hopefully some one might have a solution.
