    Can't load my survivor mode game?!? Is this normal??

    Hi

    I started playing primal about 2 weeks ago and had a few saved games in normal mode obviously. Then when the new patch came out i started survivor mode. After about 8 hours of playing on survivor mode, saving and exiting the game multiple times, I saved and exited then loaded my normal game but now i can't load my survivor mode game???? i don't see anywhere you can continue your survivor mode game after you've loaded a normal game!! WTFFFF?!?!???!?!?!

    Is this how it works??? Or is this a bug?? If this IS how it works I don't see anywhere in the patch notes where they say this...??!?! Am i missing something here?

    Playing on PC version.

    Hello again. Just looked into it myself and it looks like, due to the technical limitation behind the mode, the Survivor Mode is only able to save to the Autosave slot. This means that when loading the Normal game save file, a new Autosave will kick in and overwrite the Survivor Mode Autosave.

    Only solution for the future is to not load a "Normal" save game when doing a Survivor Mode walkthrough.

    Thanks for your reply. Yeah that's what it was looking like to me. I'm just wondering why the hell they don't warn you of this in the first place.!? And why does it save to the auto-save slot? Why don't they have just 1 permanent save location for your survivor mode game? It's just illogical and ridiculous.

    Ubi has made the baffling decision to remove multiple save files from most of their games, as you can see it makes no sense and is nothing but annoying... It started with watch_dogs I think but has since been an issue with assassin's creed and FC4/ primal as well... If a mod or comdev could shed light as to the reasoning for such a decision I'd love to know why the removal of multiple save files was ok'ed..
