Stupid Stupid Autosave.

Post » Thu May 10, 2012 1:20 pm

I was fleeing from an enemy, and went through a door with next to no health. Game autosaves just beefore I die. Now my character is stuck in infinite death loop..

Does anyone know a fix? there is NO time from the loading screen till the happening of death to open the healing menu. :C

SKJDSGIO

On a ps3.
Dunno if this is the right forum but im pretty flustered atm.

Help?

Not much can be done when that happens (and I've seen it a lot!)

Try using one of your earlier saves, one before the autosave. You are saving often, I hope.

Go to the main menu and reload from an earlier manual save?

Disable autosave and save manually so this doesn't happen again?

I don't know if it is the same on consoles, but on the PC the game keeps your last THREE autosaves, so you can just manually load one of the earlier autosaves, even if you haven't been making proper backups like you should be.

It's the same on the Xbox, I believe.

In the tutorial, the dragon was flaming me to death as I went through the door. Inside the keep, I was still on fire and the game autosaved a fraction of a second before the death. The result was a death loop and having to watch the whole execution scene again. So, quicksave often and turn off autosave.
