❗Hot-Fix 1.1.5.0 is here!

[Bloody_Kratos]

Unfortunately this fix broke the game. I used to have crashes on Series S from time to time but now the game crashes every second save (I have only 5 saves in total). So, like if I save after a fight I know the game will crash at the mission end (auto save). It also crashes randomly during the mission, so now I just can’t complete a single mission, need to play the fights again and again. I have not seen such a mess since the infamous release of Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales. Hope you start with undoing what you did and make the game playable. Wish you luck guys, you need it.

Hi. Yep I can confirm that the Marteau Heist mission is still not making saves correctly even with the latest hotfix. Tells me Save was successful but it hasn't made the save. This is really not good and is really spoiling what is a fab little game. I have only 1 campaign, 1 manual save and am on Week 23

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

This 100%.
Can't finish the heist. The electricity always makes it freeze.
Very frustrating.

On xbox series X. Latest update ruined my game. I can't save anymore it says saved but doesn't actually save. Then eventually the game will crash and the save isnt there.

I tried new slots tried the fixes listed above tried loading into differant missions reinstalled the game played on a different console but nothing works.
I'm so annoyed its a good game but the state it is in is ruined. If it wasn't on game pass i would have got a refund and never come back.

Hello!
Thank you all so much for reporting these issues and including details regarding the crashes you're experiencing and the Marteau Heist. We are collecting all of your reports and have sent them to the dev team to look into.

The update broke my (Hard difficulty) custom game on Mission 41. It basically doesn't save anymore. The save system is totally broken now. I didn't have any trouble on saving before the update, apart from the fact the game has campaign slots which it shouldn't have (it's bad game design for me), it should just have saves that identify campaigns and mission progress internally and the users should be able to name them as they want, and I say this since I'm a long time Tactical Shooter games player (since first XCOM on Amiga).

The problem:
I've done a Heist Mission twice now. The first time I completed, then did another mission Assassinate Magister where it couldn't save. I killed Strum (that was in the mission). Then the USUAL bug in assassination missions is that games tend to freeze when the Magister is around moving (with his huge entourage on Hard mission difficulty) toward dead bodies.
When I reloaded It took me back to the Hideout, two weeks before that. Which means I had lost the heist mission and the Assassinate Magister mission.

The save problem is like this:
It saves fast but really does nothing under the hood), also when this happens if I try to overwrite a campaign (1st 4 slots), it doesn't allow it (overwrite campaign disappears as an option when the saving is bugged).

Until it's fixed I cannot progress, or I will not progress, cause I can't even close the game without losing every mission played after that week.

So far these two are major problems that require urgent fixes:
- Broken (in so many ways) save system.
- Freezing problem on Assassinate Magister missions (so far only this mission type triggered the freezing bug).

Please fix this. This stopped my second run completely.

I'm also playing on PC Gamepass and can no longer Save.

Im playing a misson called "Terror in a Bottle" during week 39. I was able to save the mission once but now I cannot. There is an empty "New Save" slot and the game says it was saved but no save game exists

Oddly after the fix I was initially able to have 5 saved games per campaign - delete saves, overwrite saves etc with no difficulty up til today

I'm playing on Xbox Series S and the game is totally broken now for me. I wasted 2 hours with saves that were confirmed, then a crash, then restarting and the saves are gone like they never happened. These were even saves made at the base, not during a mission.

As others have mentioned the game also crashes 100% after completing a mission if you save twice during the mission.

Also random crashes happen sometimes on initial encounter using a single ability.

Extremely disappointed, as I was really enjoying this game even with the atrocious instability and crashing. Excellent writing, fun character abilities, art design, etc. This game deserves better.

Same issue as poster above. On X Box Series S. I’m on the Marteau mission. Once I grab the persephonite, the game will freeze when the reinforcement towers active. I’ve gotten the 1st tower to load, but it always freezes when the 2nd tower calls in enemies. Can’t get past this.

Do we have any timeline on when an actual fix will be implemented for the constant crashes (can only speake on Xbox Series x, not sure how bad it is on PC). It is not an exageration to state that you cannot go more than 5 minutes without a crash. The game crashes minutes into loading any mission, and its a guarntee to crash on mission exit. The only way to "progess" is to save prior to missiion extraction, wait for the game to crash, reload the game, load the save and exit again and repeat until it dosent actually crash. In a previous thread the crashes were blamed on the save issue. Which this is stabel now, the crashes have gotten progresively worse.

It would be great if they allow to remove the latest update which broke the game completely (on Series S too). There is also reviewing process in Xbox for each update, hope they will come up with something soon.

Another week that it is impossible to advance in the game. It keeps closing, trying a save or with some battle interaction....there is no set pattern. I have dealt with hundreds of closures but with infinite patience and attempts I have been able to move forward, but now, in week 29, it is impossible to continue. Waiting for a new update to fix everything that's wrong. I love the game but it's broken

 

[Sebassie84]

I really love the game! Haven't had this much fun with a game in ages. That being said, I have the same issues as mentioned above. The game crashes quickly after I get shocked on the Morteau mission (xbox series s). It didn't use to crash when I just started the game, but the further in the game I get, the more it seems to crash. Usually during parts when there is a lot of performance needed like saving the game. I tried saving both my manual saves in a new campaign (one prior to the morteau mission in the hideout and one in the mission prior to stealing the stuff which triggers the AoE shock), but than it crashes too without having saved anything. Maybe you could split these high performance parts in multiple tasks which complete after each other so they can not be triggered simultaniously? For now it's absolutely unplayable.

I'm stuck with the game on xbox X. I can load the game but can't save. I have empty slot to save the game. I use it but next time when enter the game saved games from previous session are gone. Also I have empty slot for campaign but when I click to save the new one it just doesn't appear in the list.

This has been happening to me for weeks and has been reported. Hopefully they are working on it

I think we're all sympathetic to the news that Lamplighters won't be going forward with Harebrained, but it would really be disappointing if the game is not patched further.

Is there a new fix planned for all of these save problems?

There is! The devs are working as fast as possible to get another hot-fix live ASAP ♡ Hang in there!

And a fix for the constant crashing, not just the saves? Timeframe for fix?

 

[Lesleyleeroy]

All of the hotfix information regarding saves for Xbox is false...... ALL of the issues are still happening and that is with me uninstalling/reinstalling the game on two separate occasions since the hotfix.

I can just about do with the constant crashing i.e. .... finish a mission crash, start a mission crash, drop a ladder in game crash but the loss of saves in crushing.

Twice I have lost two long campaigns with one at 20 weeks one at 30 weeks and you have no idea when it's going to happen ... your enjoying the game one minute (albeit with the constant crashing) the next something syncs or crashes, you load the game back up and everythings gone ..... like the game doesn't even recognize you've just put 40+ hrs into it

Prioritising the fix so a saved game is never lost should be the top agenda, at least then the game is playable.

 

[Lesleyleeroy]

Also side note regarding doomsday progression ...who ever decided linking enemy scaling/difficulty with dooms day progression ...they're 2 separate systems. I have no problem with the game getting harder, I actually enjoy it getting a lot harder as I progress/learn ... however, there is no way to work in the background to reduce doomsday progression, it's like the progression is inevitable. I understand that from a story point of view but from a game perspective... it actually punishes you for the more you want to play the game. I've never played a game before that gears you towards finishing it as quickly as possible.
