darkscaryforest Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I'm stuck behind a tiny snow pileup and a stump in ash canyon. Looks like my only legit option is to die? Is there anything I can do to move me one foot over with a debug console? 1956602578_TheLongDark2021_02.01-10_45_38_04.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkscaryforest Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I GOT UNSTUCK!

UTC-10 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The usual advice would be to quit and reload assuming that you have done nothing to cause a save while in the stuck position. Until a save occurs while stuck the option to quit and reload which causes loss of game progress since the last save remains a viable option. Once any action causes a save while stuck, the quit and reload option is then closed and the only option left is basically write the save game off and start again.

Yeah so the reason I didn't do that was because of perhaps the dumbest thing I've ever done in the long dark not shown in the video above. I thought "hey maybe if I place my sleeping bag out of the hole and then sleep 1 hour on it, it'll move me over an inch and I'll be free" Of course, my character slept, didn't move at all, AND it overwrote the save....so let that be a word of caution to anyone trying that... In fact, I'd recommend what you said over the wiggling technique quoted above because if you get yourself a sprain moving around on uneven terrain, then it could overwrite your save in that case too.

Kranium Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 On PC, this is why it's a good idea to periodically copy your save game files to an alternate location. Insurance against losing a game due to a bug/glitch. Learned this one the hard way, years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
