————————— Patch Notes: XBOX, Microsoft Store —————————

This patch features improvements to the save system on Xbox and Microsoft Store PC.

Thank you all for your grace and patience while we rushed to get fixes live for the save bug!
Today, we are pleased to release a fix that should allow players to create more manual saves and auto-saves, with relaxed limitations. We plan to continue making improvements to the save system, though we prioritized stabilizing the system first. You can read patch notes and a more detailed description of the fix below.

————————————————————————

In order to improve save stability
, we need players to reduce their active campaign save slots to 4.
If you currently have more than 4, the additional Campaigns are highlighted in red. They will not be auto-deleted. You may delete any Campaign from the list to reduce your count to 4. This will help to improve save stability.

If you currently have 4 or fewer active saved Campaigns, you will not be able to exceed 4. If you start a new game and do not have an open Campaign slot, you will need to choose a Campaign to overwrite before auto-saves will begin.

Each of the 4 assigned Campaigns may now contain up to 5 manual saves and up to 3 autosaves. Campaigns from the previous patch may have 4 autosaves in them; we do not anticipate this extra auto-save will cause problems. If they still would - please report issues to us using our Forum or Discord!

Red-marked Campaigns can be loaded, but cannot contain any more save files. If a player wishes to use a campaign that is currently red, they must remove other campaigns until their desired campaign rises to one of the top 4 spots.

————————————————————————

Fixes:

  • Save System Improvements
  • To improve save stability, Players may now have up to 4 campaigns
  • Each campaign may contain up to 5 manual saves, and 3 auto saves
  • Auto saves now occur at the following important junctures:
    • when leaving the hideout to go to a mission,
    • at the start of each mission,
    • and again after returning to the hideout after mission completion.
  • Restart Mission should function as expected again
  • Addressed several reported crashes
    • Fixed an error that was generating crashes during miscellaneous loading operations
    • Fixed an issue that could cause a crash when operating a kick-down ladder
    • Fixed a rare crash that could occur when accessing the save menu
    • Addressed a rare crash that could occur when creating a manual save
    • Fixed an error that could cause a softlock if a pop up message occurred during combat
    • The game should no longer crash if you load a save while in turn based combat
    • Fixed an issue that was causing the game to sometimes crash when buildings faded away, which should resolve many reports of crashes during the Marteau and Nicastro heists
  • Nocturne’s Skill Tree should appear in the Agent screen if she is acquired partway through a campaign
  • Improved performance
  • Fixed several reported typos and errors in translation
  • Agent stress bars should remain a consistent size
  • A particular Arctic Map should no longer produce more enemies than expected in a reinforcement tower.
  • Fixed an issue where abandoning a Recruit mission partway through might sometimes cause a problem with agent roster
  • Nocturne’s Charge Up should now shock water that she is currently standing in
  • UI for move distance should no longer disappear after entering recon mode.

Known Issues:

———————— I can’t create a new Save file? ———————

Xbox users who have 4 or more Campaigns will not be able to create a new Campaign.
A campaign cannot have more than 5 manual saves.


———————— I can’t create a new Save? —————————
If you are trying to edit a RED campaign, you will not be able to create a new save in that Campaign. We recommend that, if you would like to keep this specific campaign and add saves to it, remove other campaigns until this one is in one of the Top 4 campaigns on the list.

If you have 5 Manual saves in a Campaign, that is the maximum amount per Campaign. You will need to select a Manual save to Overwrite.


———————— I can’t create a new Campaign? ——————
If you have 4 or more Campaigns, you cannot create a new Campaign at all. You will need to select one of the 4 Campaigns to overwrite, or remove Campaigns until you have less than 4.

———————— I have 4 auto saves? ——————————
This is an unfortunate and expected impact from the bandaid fix released Friday October 6th. The 4th autosave is left-over and will never change and you cannot delete it. This should not affect your campaign and it can be ignored, but if you’d like to get rid of it you can with a workaround. You can make a new campaign with your current progress and start a fresh file.

To do so:
  1. From the main menu, open the Load Game menu and remove a campaign you no longer need. Ensure you have one open Campaign slot available.
  2. Load the game you wish to continue
  3. Open the Save Menu and select the empty Campaign Slot
  4. Save the game in the empty Campaign Slot.
After this point, new autosaves will be directed to the new Campaign file. You can safely delete the old Campaign after this.


Light the way, Lamplighters!

Thank you for the update, highly appreciated. I love the game but it is unplayable for me…

The latest patch fixed the saving issue but unfortunately the crashes are even more frequently, now also during combat which before was “only” sometimes on mission start, mission end and save progress. It’s like a Russian roulette, very exciting but you never know when it will kill the game…

Happy to wait for the next patch ;)
Thank you!

Thank you!
Just loaded it up after the fix and can also attest that I suffered a crash right upon mission completion. I'm at week 28. If there's any bright side, I saved right before I exit the mission space (since I'm so used to crashing), and when I restarted the game, it hadn't wiped my manual save right before that exit (it used to wipe that save). So at least I just had to reload to finish a mission right away, but the fact that it's still very Russian Roulette upon a mission completion is a major pain.
 
All my saves after today's patch that I did will no longer load and claim they are invalid saves. 2 are Manual and one is an auto save.
I have to revert back to a save from Yesterday before the patch now to get anything to load.

Just loaded a save from yesterday, started mission week 19, immediately saved to a new campaign after loaded. Tried loading it and it's also an invalid save now.
Game is no longer playable at all if no saves work.
 
I cannot complete the marteau heist. I am in week 20!! When the electricity starts, the whole game freezes. I have to wait about 4-8 seconds per move as the game freezes and unfreezes each turn for 4-8 seconds after, I have completed the mission about half a dozen times. Every time i complete it the game freezes, crashes, and restarts prior to getting back to the hideout and I click continue and I am back in the same mission. I have spent about 12-16 hours waiting for the freezes and completing the mission but the game will not let me advance, WTF!>? My xbox gamepass screen name is LionEsb

Did some further testing. Crashing is still rampant. And now that I've reached the Marteau Heist I can confirm it freezes and invariably drops. I actually got to an end point after 3 tries where it crashed during combat, and then I went to save my progress because I was so happy I made it to the end, and then it crashed when I saved it!

I am not going to go through the pain of that again. Please fix these heist and general crashing issues otherwise I'll never be able to finish. In the meantime, I cannot recommend this to folks!
 
I play on the Xbox. I played until week 20 and am on a mission for a coup and yes only crashes and now I can no longer save at all, whether it's an old campaign or a newer one. It's just not possible to save anymore. That's why it takes so long It takes too long to fix these serious errors.
 
Are save files that have gone missing from campaigns likely to be recoverable at any point?
Lost saves can unfortunately not be restored.

However, the save menu has changed a bit with the latest patch so if a campaign disappeared with this update, scroll down in your save menu - it might be marked red but should still be there. You can read more about this in the xbox patch notes above ^

Hey Godsill4!

I am terribly sorry to hear this, have you followed any of the instructions mentioned above to try and solve your save issue? I think these ones in particular might help:

———————— I can’t create a new Save file? ———————
Xbox users who have 4 or more Campaigns will not be able to create a new Campaign.
A campaign cannot have more than 5 manual saves.

Thank you all so much for reporting in to us how the game is playing in the newest patch. I am terribly sorry to hear many of you are still struggling with crashes.

I will make sure to report this to our team and hopefully we can have another patch ready with more crash fixes shortly, hang in there

Hello, I only manually saved a campaign that ran twice. I've already tried a lot. Uninstalled and reinstalled the game, played it via the Xbox Game Pass Cloud and tried saving, but no luck. If you were able to save and then the save status will be displayed. When I try to load it, it's gone. The strange thing is that everything worked until the 20th week and now nothing works anymore. I even started a new campaign and tried saving, to no avail. So saving no longer works on Xbox and that's very strange. Marteau heist mission is probably to blame for the fact that you can no longer save.

Hi, First of all, thanks for this beautiful game.

Unfortunatly the Marteau heist seems to be the end for me too.
After the Patch the crash probability rose from 50% to a solid 100% (Xbox - Series S) The Mission cant be saved or completed.
The frame drop during the electricity effects for me is annoying but the game does not crash there. It just cant be saved anymore.
Looking forward to dive back in.
Regards

My theory is that the crashing is a function of how advanced you are in in-game weeks. I didn't encounter these crashes early on, but the more I progressed the more I'm replaying. And then yeah, the Marteau heist just amps up the problems and always kills it. Real shame, I'd actually love to complete this game.
 
Game has crashed EVERY time during the final mission. First time it crashed when I escaped, last two attempts were in the midst of the last scion battle. So frustrating to spend 30-45 minutes on a mission just to have it crash. Such a good, fun game but cannot recommend to anyone in the current state. At least I got through the Marteau heist...but unable to actually finish the game.
