Autosave and autosave (previous) put me in the same spot.
« on: January 06, 2020, 01:09:26 pm »
I'm not sure what happened, but I made a pretty big blunder at the Mysterious Pillar. I didn't realize it was a stat check and not just an activation, so I got swamped by ghosts.

After running back out, another ghost spawned on top of me and pinned me into the corner while 2 beetles pounded me from afar.  There was no way I could have live through until the ghost despawn, so I went to load my save. Except for some reason both of my autosaves put me back in the same situation.

Is there anyway to fix/reroll back to an older autosave file? I haven't manually saved in awhile because this is my most successful build yet and I forgot. As it stand there's no way for me to progress.

Nope, you're pretty much screwed.

The only way that can really happen though is if you enter an area, die, reload not your last save but the previous, then enter the zone again.  The game doesn't write the same data onto two autosave slots; that has to be bad luck or bad planning on the part of the player - and, why yes, I have done exactly that in the past, how did you know? :P

Get in the habit of saving smarter.  If you're going to go to a dangerous place, put a manual save right before you head to it. Then, quicksave after a bit, and finally quicksave again when the zone is relatively safe.  Getting in the f5/f9 habit can really save you some heartache.
