PC version deletes saves when it crashes.

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 5:45 am

My game just crashed. It deleted all of my saves from that session. I just lost hours of progress.

Edit: Okay. Don't rely on Auto or Quicksaves. Make actual saves. Often.

Wow, sounds like it's corrupting save game files. Note to self, make lots of backups :(

Several people have said manual saves are working for them, going to try it now. So far I've lost 3 hours myself. Really annoying.

Nice to know, thought experience with Beth's engine since Morrowind tells me to do that automatically. So folks, remember. ^_^

I have never trusted auto saves from several bad experiences back on Oblivion. Always make regular manual saves and I would even often obsessively make extra save slots. I remember once my game crashed while I was saving over another slot, and it was corrupted and I had to completely restart my game (think this happened with half life 2)

Add me as well, this is crazy. On a side note exiting the game via Alt + F4 also deletes your saves.
