question about lost progress

Post by chewik »

My game crashed today and I had to restart whole PC, (with button on it). after starting cotw, I have only option start new game, but not continue. is it possible to restore game, or have I start from the beginning again? :)

Probably have to start over. I dont understand why they use this hazardous save system. Common practise is this plus be able to save backups in game. Shouldnt have to do it manually

I think you must start from the beginning. Unfortunately. I had this problem 3 times. Now I make a backup of the save-folder after every session which helps a lot after a crash.

Sorry for my english

it wont help currently but make sure you save the small file located in my documents call Avalanche studios . thats your call of the wild back up. then all you do is if this ever happens again is over write it with the one saved.

thx for confirmation of my thoughts. I was thinking about starting new profile, for fun, so now I can do it :) Now I will have a new opportunity to finish some "broken" achievements. Just hope the trophy lodge survived.

I've created a batch file to back up my COTW saves after each session to an external hard drive. I was doing it previously with just drag and drop, but the batch file is just less clicks
