Crowquilt Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 To save a game you need to exit the game. It works on missions and just exploring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon_2535 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 To save a game you need to exit the game. It works on missions and just exploring. Not always. I was doing a mission and found one of the rare colored skulls. I progressed through the mission some more and it finally told me the game had saved and I waited for the bio-hazard symbol to disappear as well. I quit to the main menu and when I went back to the game, I had been reset back a few rooms and I no longer had the colored skull. Even worse, the skull wasn't in the same location it was last time, so now I got screwed out of that! They simply just need to add a manual save option or something.

KAP Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 This is ACTUALLY whats hapened to me now, im in the game as i write this and no matter how much times i fast travel no save icon is showing, all its saying is 'checkpoint' What your saying is if i quit out of this game from the start button and presing triangle to the main menu that it WILL save?! Because if thats the case im gonna try now, if it dont work 2hrs has gone down the drain again (3rd time) Here i go...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alien666 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I`m not the owner of this game yet (I`m still waiting for my copy) but I read on another forum that You can change "style of fighting" (???) in menu---option from analog to digital and this way THE GAME PROGRESS SAVE ALL THE TIME. After that You can change this option back as well... I hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can wait for a notification to say the game has saved, but even then it doesn't mean it actually worked. Even when it does save correctly, sometimes when you load it up again, it takes you to a previous save for whatever reason. It's totally screwed up. There's really nothing you can do.

After that You can change this option back as well... I hope it helps. Well, if this is true, then I guess my game is proof. I haven't played with analog controls, and I have had no problems. I've had my game save literally 5 seconds after the last save just while I'm walking around. Although, it seems that this would be a wierd thing that would fix a saving glitch, I guess anything is possible. EDIT: Maybe someone should start a poll to see if this is a viable possibility.

I exited the game like i said i would in my previous post above and when i selected "PLAY" on the main menu low and behold my save file was there stating time 16:17 (the time i exited to the main menu) so i selected it and it started me where i left off, only that there is still no save icon showing up, so the propper test is to exit out of the game entirely to see if it really did save. Im gonna do it now.. wish me luck. be back in 2mins to reply on the process.... EDIT: Yep. i can official claim that this game is BADLY designed. didnt save AT ALL, which means i have to do born to be wild AGAIN!!!!! FUCK!.... i cant believe im gonna say this but... i give up. Gonna trade it in for R3. Edited September 10, 2011 by KAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAKE_7 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Yeah i like the idea of a manual save, that way you can see the last time your file was save, whether you did it manually or the game autosaved. The game is fun, just many bugs that is making the game really frustrating and complicated. Hopefully they fix this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackC8 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 The guys over here I THINK I just fixed my save glitch. - Dead Island - GameSpot Forums seem to think that if you leave the online portion set to LAN, and not connected to the network, and only play single-player, everything should work.

Aces_One Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Honestly, I don't know what the thing is about not saving with you guys. My game has saved every single time even after the patch, but that could also be because I level up at least once before turning the game off. Hopefully they fix this issue for the people who are having it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played 4 hours yesterday, changed to analog, return to game, changed back to difital, quit the game to menu and turn off PS3.

Cornagandarub Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Guys why the fuck aren't you getting this? If the HDD indicator does not flash when it says Game Saved, that means it isn't saving and you're going to lose that progress! Pay attention to if it's doing this and if it stops you'll lose a lot less time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan7182002 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I hate this save system. I was level 9 last night...quit after a mission and when I saw game saved in the corner. Come back today and level 6...WTF. Pathetic game just got worse. Probably sell within a week. Could have been a great game, but losing 3 levels and work is a lot.

Pay attention to if it's doing this and if it stops you'll lose a lot less time! Exactly this people. If you don't see the red biohazard indicator in the top right corner when the game says "Game Saved" or "Checkpoint" then your game didn't save. Every time that I have not seen it (biohazard indicator) I immediately quit the game and restart it and sure enough I've been set back a few minutes. Since I pay attention to it I never lose more than a few minutes now, better than a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperghost23 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Ok so here is a thought... When i first started the campaign it was on co-op Lan. So around chapter 3 i encountered the save glitch... The online bar was set to single player at that time, after that i changed it to online PS Network and the game still wouldnt save. I got mad and turned my Ps3 off. A few hours later i got on again and before i started i changed it to online again and instead of putting in on PS Network i put it on LAN and to my amazement it was actually saving. So could it be that whatever you started your game on is when it saves properly? Maybe the game has trouble saving wehen you change over from co-op to single player? Can anyone else confirm this? BTW: This game is REALLY fun and addicting when it works properly, so dont give up hope. EDIT: Didnt see the post at the top of the page but that is the same circumstances for me and it is working fine now:) Edited September 10, 2011 by copperghost23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zteth007 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 This game is really starting to piss me off. For startet I cannot join anyone game, even when it gives me the option and now there is a save glitch that I have to worry about. Wow I have played some bad games in the pass but this is ridiculous. Hell not even Advent Rising on the Original Xbox was this glitchy, well maybe it was but I still manage to beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
