Zone Transition Fail (another one yeah)

[comguitoz]

I wanna start by saying, its a great game, i love it. i like it so much i bought saturday and i sunk 50 hours already on the game. Im on holidays so i just said fuck it, it reminded me so much of Fallout 1 and i just got hooked.

Now. Im so fuckin mad, disappointed and frustrated. I first had this error south of the junkyard (2 spaces south to be more precised) i was already done with that area and was exploring, BOOM it happened. I spent a little time trying to figured out what was wrong, but just said fuck it, since i didn't think it had anything important. And it happen again when i was going to kill the Ironhead leader, in the area where he is i had the error again, and i just said enough.
Why didnt you already fixed this? Isnt this a huge bug thats gamebreaking?
I just feel like i threw away 50 hours of my life for nothing.
And please dont tell me to reinstall, verify, reload old saves, i have done this and nothing worked.

here is the report:

Have your computer crashed while in-game, by chance?

From my experience Underrail is not really crash-friendly. A single crash corrupted all my recent saves and caused transition failures, but those from hours before worked just fine.

Also, instead of being mad (which is understandable of course) and complaining, you should upload your save somewhere and email the crash logs to Styg. I had a similar issue and he said that he really has no idea what could cause this, so it's not like they are not trying to fix this.

[comguitoz]

Yeah the game crashed one time, like yesterday, but since then i put like more then 10 hours into the game and didnt had a single problem. Are you telling me that when the game crashed that one time it corrupted all my save files?

Yeah i understand that they are fixing this, but i was frustrated, i calmed down since then.

[Tygrende]

It's very likely that the crash corrupted several location files in your save, that was the case for me.

I recommend that you go back to a pre-crash save if you have any, and if not, upload your save and ask Styg to fix them. Corrupted locations will be reset (as if you never been there) but it's better than nothing.

Also, try keeping 3 different saves, and rotate between all of them. That way you will lose only a few hours of progress if any crashes happen again.

[comguitoz]

Well then im with really bad luck. Got no save file from before the crash :/ well gg.
How do i email Styg? Or should i wait until he see's the post?

[Tygrende]

admin@underrail.com

But it's probably best to wait until he ask you himself. In the meantime you can upload your save somewhere so he can fix it somewhat later.

[comguitoz]

One thing though, if i start a brand new game right now and delete all the saved games, will i get this problem later on? Because i just want to finish the game, i was planning in finishing this one and starting with a new char, but if this keeps happening its kinda boring

[Tygrende]

You shouldn't have any issues if you start a new game.

I started a new game and everything was and is fine. It's the save that's corrupted, not the game itself.

I really recommend you do a save rotation from now on though.

Ok. Thanks for all your help, was having a lot of fun with my assassin

cheers mate
