Started playing the game today after the patch, and I can no longer save my game. I started the quest "A Cultural Exchange" and then continued on to do the Longinus quest that unlocks. I died, and got a black screen of infinite death(I could open the menu with ESC, and close it, but it wouldn't reload). Only way to get out of the game was to Alt+F4, so I did that. Restarted the game, and it started me back at the beginning of "A Cultural Exchange". So I completed that quest again, and decided this time I would manually save the game after completion. Nope, clicking save now locks up the ESC menu and forces me to kill the process in order to get out of the game. Anyone know a fix for this nonsense?
I have the same bug.
It seems the game can save 1 time per game session.
After that, if it tries to autosave, you will just loose your progress as soon as you exit.
If you try to manual save the game freezes.
If you die after it saved 1 time, the game will also freeze with a black screen or the black and white "deathscreen".
Mainquests won't get saved if you manage to beat them without dying as they have checkpoints, if you die the game freezes.
It's really pointless to play the game right now because I loose every progress after one (auto)save or checkpoint.
Like for example after you start the game you walk into a karma event on the map, everything after that will be lost.
Basically right now it's like this:
I managed to get a save after I took out an outpost, but the hunting mission I did after that was lost.
So I reloaded and did the hunting mission again, but lost what I crafted. So I reloaded and crafted my crap again and saved and lost everything after that..
I verified my install in Uplay and it's all fine.
I deleted my local files, no difference..
The game ran flawless before the patch.
Thank you Ubi for this nice early Christmas gift.
Same here. Cant save my game. Every time I want to save my mouse disapears and I'm unable to control anything. I cant get out of the menu so ESC is not an option. So I have to Alt F4, like you said. I already reinstalled the game. It doesn't help, so save your time on trying that. I'm unable to play the game right now. I'll wait for the next patch. Not touching the game till then. Good Job Ubisoft!
