Loading From Start (Fixed in v0.2)

[RJIII]

I know loading and saving isn't totally worked out yet but I found this fun little bit when I started a fresh game and tried to load without a previously saved game. Just started a new game hit ESC -> Load then got lived 17 hours and had some crazy gear on the screen.

[Guest Alan Lawrance]

I haven't been able to reproduce this one. Normally the game will not attempt to load anything if there are no save game files present. For v0.2, we now display a message indicating there are no saves available and play an error feedback sound.

One thing that isn't 100% clear from your description is whether you played the game before this Load attempt. Maybe there was an older save that failed to load properly.

One thing that would be helpful is for you to attach your debug log to this thread. The debug log can be found in the install directory, under the tld_Data directory. It will be named output_log.txt.

Will do, adding cords to every screen shot as well

NVM found it see below :]

Can definitely recreate this every time I start a fresh game

Could you check if you have any files in the following location (you will have different start to the path, but you should be able to find it):

C:\Users\alanxps\AppData\LocalLow\Hinterland\The Long Dark\slot0001

If so, please attach those files. Thank you!

I think there is a chance this is the same bug Ray found, where you die during your sleep... then you try to restore that save.

[RJIII]

Done!

This is so much fun I can't believe it know its work for you guys but I'm having a blast :]
