Saving options

[Ragnar1991]

Hey there,
In the PC Version you can either play in that realistic way or even not.
so at the moment there is just one savegame.
with every auto saving its going to be overwritten.
is it possible to disable that?
the option "just" saving the game would be a nice option too.
i hope you get what I mean

I came to the forums specifically hoping for a fix to this.

Was it intentional to remove any sort of manual saving without exiting the game entirely? And auto saving after essentially every action without any sort of easy "Load" option makes for some very frustrating play. I've been a fan of the game for years now, and was excited to recommend it to my console-playing friends, but I simply can't until saving and loading are implemented in a fashion that is in line with every other contemporary game on the market. It's making the game a lot less fun, and that's not what I remember about Mount & Blade.

Yes exactly, you should have the the option to choose whether you want to play it the "hardcore" way or if you want to play it like normal people do.

Why is there even a "quit without saving"-option if it autosaves ever single thing anyway? Just doesn't make sense the way it's currently at.

The game only saves when you are entering the world map so you can quit without saving during or at the end of the battle. We had both options in our nVidia Shield port and many players who chose the non-realistic option gave negative feedback, saying the game didn't have autosave option even though it actually have. Unfortunately, people are very used to autosaving on consoles and mobile for a long time and don't really know the concept of quicksaving. But as I said, we have quitting without saving option during battles now, so it's not the realistic mode and more like the hybrid of two modes.

Well, autosaving isn't bad, but I would wish a second or a third save slot which are not been overwritten automaticly, but you can save manuel.
The resaon for that is, I am a player who trie out different ways. If one doesn't work, I load an old savegame and try and again.
So, is there a chance to get some extra savegame slot in a future update?

 

[Mustafa Korkmaz]

A "Save As" option could help in your case I guess. I'll check the possibility of this for a future patch, thanks for the feedback.

 

[Ragnar1991]

That sounds great, thanks a lot!

It would be much appreciated if we could get a manual save system with multiple saves. That being said the auto save has been good to me so far.

I Love this game as mush as anyone else, freaking incredible game! great job!.I only have 1 complaint but this one problem has stopped myself and my console gamers who are new and was* very excited for m&b, away from. their really needs to be a save-as feature implemented in a future patch. I cant stress enough how frustrating it is to work so hard at something to have all that time and effort wasted due to the inability to load a save that hasn't been automatically saved on top of. their are way to many game ruining situations that are unavoidable*  even if you use the ''quit without saving''feature during a battle.

Please add the option to disable auto-save. It slows down the game and it's annoying if you screw up.

I've just played it. I have lost almost everything several times. I don't see that as a bad thing.

But having an option, if you just want to build your empire without risk, is a good thing.

Yep, failure is a part of the game. You need to fail hard to learn and get better. It's a non issue, to be honest. When you have some companions with the trainer skill, you can raise your army pretty fast. It's also a fresh new experience to lost your army, because you can try new troops type, new factions and new strategy.
Btw, the game autosaves on the general map, so if you lost a battle you can jump to the dashboard and close the application.

Thank you so much for patching it! I just saw, that you can disable autosave now and have multiple save slots.
