@AdminI haven't had it since, but I have been vigilant for if it happens and been checking to make sure that the save icon appears. if it does happen again, i'll report it here. Thank you so much for fixing it, it's annoying and almost made me rage quit the game.

Unfortunatley I haven't been able to upload the clips and screenshots for the last 2 days. School is really annoying and is taking up my time, I had a close call with a wolf and made it to coastal highway. I haven't found the guaranteed matches yet, but i hopefully will soon. next i will be making my way to Desolation Point after this and then to mountian town.

I was busting up pallets outside of carter, (the broken ones that take like 45 minutes to break up with a hammer). I was in interloper, progressing nicely but on low health, i was actually warm as it was the end of the day becoming night, so it was about to become cold. I had sucessfully broken up a 45 minute one for 3 or 4 reclaimed wood and needed more, so I found a 2 hour one that would give me 12 wood, it had just started getting slightly cold (one arrow down) and thought i was fine. so i started breaking up that 2 hour pallet with 30-40% condition... a blizzard hit immedeatley and I should have paid more attention as i was distracted at the moment irl. I froze to death super fast as i was already cold before. R.I.P.

Craft anywhere, no resources, 5 minutes, good distraction device.

I’m sorry for not saying it earlier, I was taking a break from tld (if I grind a game too hard for long enough, then I usually lose interest) my save is fine, everything is the same as when i left. I hunted a bear and skinned the 40 kg of meat off it. I got the hide and guts curing in the camp office but left some meat at trapper’s (I killed the bear at trappers). I’m running low on matches, finding the guaranteed matches at PV and FM, there are 3 guaranteed match spawns in coastal highway and desolation point, which I haven’t visited yet. Just cooked some meat and are ready to head on a nice long journey.

I was worried we would have nothing to do in the late game. I don’t really care about the loot, it’s just something to do in the late game when there really is not much to do. It adds some adventure back in your game after it all fades away.

Love the pic, and great idea!

I find removing it from quick resume to be an easier way to reset a game(before, you would need to go into a different game or press “stop playing” on the game). If you don’t like it then there is another way to check the problem and it’s what I’ve been doing recently. I’d save my game by going into a building, then return to the menu and then press resume, this will make sure it saves and should put you back to the same spot you were in before quitting. If it doesn’t, then go completely out of the game and remove from quick resume or click stop playing to fix the problem. If I get the glitch again, I’ll upload a clip of me doing this.

I also play on Series x, found out that you can remove TLD from quick resume to re-set it which seems to fix it, if you don’t see the save icon in the corner when sleeping and entering buildings, then it means it didn’t properly save and you lost that progress. At that point there is nothing you can do, if you see it, immediately reset and make sure the save icon appears, then you should be fine to play with it actually saving. Hope it gets fixed soon because it’s really annoying to me too.

I was bringing deer meat back, and this happened… IMG_0130.MOV It was late and my mom was telling me to get off the game, so when I was listening to her, I had taken my headset off. So I didn’t hear the wolf that was coming towards me.

I was able to successfully forge a knife, hatchet, and 8 arrowheads like last time. I’m glad this run is going well, and will try hard not to die.

look at this bedroll spawn. Made it to mystery lake. IMG_0125.MOV A wolf jumped me after coming out of the trailer. Arriving at the camp office. All my tools and things on display.

I'm sorry that I haven't been posting as usual, I started a few new runs that didn't go well... But finally gut one that stuck! I spawned in Pleasant Valley finally. I found a HH in signal hill on day 2 which felt great. I've made it to Camp Office and I'm getting ready to forge my tools. Don't want to post too much until I know I can survive.

Your wish is my command! The hunting system is at best times, simple and other times, just confusing in TLD. like how you can walk within 5 feet of a rabbit and it just be chillin out sniffing and walking around, or 20 feet from the front of a deer just by squatting down. Or how all animals are basically restricted to their spawn locations. Or how you can be reallllllly far away from a bear, shoot it, and then it runs after you as if you were right in front of it (I’m still a bit salty about that one). You get the point, for a game that strives for realism, but is very unrealistic At least in this regard. First things first, deer, rabbits, and other things (like wolves when they hear a gunshot) should flee from 3 times the distance to prevent rabbits from being in grabbing range if I squat down. Second similar to hunting games, wildlife should have need zones, for example, deer in herds coming to feed on acorns or grasses for a few in game hours, then going over to the water, (they should be able to drink from waterfalls or punch holes through the ice in frozen fresh water sources. And finally finding a place to bed down and sleep, (then they would be easier to sneak up on). It would be similar for predators, but they would stalk the herds of deer and pick one off here or there to eat. if the animals cannot manage this simple cycle for long enough, then they die. The zones should be scattered around the map so the animals can move long distances. How players find these zones would be to track down the deer (in this case) by following its foot prints in the snow, which would stay on the ground until it starts snowing, which the tracks slowly become indistinguishable from the other terrain over 10-30 in game minutes of continuous snowing depending on how heavy the snowing is. Once a zone is descovered (a feeding zone for herbivores could be nibbled short grass and a feeding zone for carnivores could be multiple carcasses in an area with some bones for good measure) it could then be marked on the map kinda like how rabbit groves are. Another thing that would help realism is over hunting, by killing fawns or their mothers and especially if you over hunt one gender of animal over the other which would decrease the population largely, requiring players to take out 1 male for every 1 female. This is easy enough to tell for deer, moose or if they add them, caribou/elk as the males have antlers while the females have smaller ones or don’t at all. It gets more complicated for wolves, bears, and birds, and cougars when they add them, as they don’t have obvious differences between them. For them they could have fur/plumage differences in color, differing reproductive organs, or for females have their offspring follow them. Also if you hunt and successfully kill a deer (for this example) the others should avoid the area you killed it at for some time. Kind of like hunting pressure in COTW for anyone that plays it like me. This concludes my TED talk.

Just got done reading it, glad they are at least fixing some bugs.

Long dark is getting an update! Hope it’s bug fixes.

I’m glad to say, I am now on spring break! I have 10 days off of school, now I can play the Long dark a lot more.I will also be posting more as a result, still gotta get a good run going again…

Whale song? Like a bunch of whales singing while in Coastal highway, is this a new feature, because it sounds pretty crazy ngl for TLD. I will keep my ears out just in case.

That must be absolutley horrifying to have a wolf charging you, kill it, but it still looks living and standing no matter what you do. I've encountered a number of really annoying bugs myself, but not this one (yet). have you seen the ones where a bear looks like it's dead but is actually sleeping? lvl 100 jumpscares.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting things to change. I think I went so insane that the wolves can come out of rocks now… IMG_0121.MOV seriously, where’d this wolf come from, I would be fine with dying if there was a reasonable excuse for where the ______ this wolf came from. It sounded like it was coming out from the ocean but no. I must be tripping because it’s not every day I hear the rocks growing, and one comes to attack me. Never give up? Gonna go for a PV spawn next.

Just tested it in a save where I would die anyway, your theory is true, deleted that one too, this is probably the issue.

Are you referring to one of the poi plane crashes or do planes randomly crash now? is this a new feature I haven't heard of?

Oh, so they stopped the exploit? that makes sense I guess. at least this time it wasn't a bug, guess that's what I get for using it then.

Add FULLY DELETING MY SAVES to the list.

I agree, lots to hunt, nice location, fishing, firewood, and many other benefits. the only reason i don't use it as a main base is because I use it too much, and want to go elsewhere.
