when will the ability to turn off auto save and save to slots be added

[brendanland]

its not in the game now and its honestly unplayable without it when will this core mechanic of the game be added in? ive asked before and was just ignored and ive seen nothing sugusting that its removal was intentional so I'm guessing this was some sort of oversight by the devs but not a bug because both me nd 3 of my friends have it it relly makes the game unplayable.

Now that would be great, I was playing the other day and my army got caught in enemy territory by a Lord with a huge army like 220 vs 57. I had to retreat and thanks to my low level and thus low ability scores I had to leave practically half of my dudes which of course meant most of my tier 3 veteran guys. As I flee back to our border several large bandit hordes of 30+ goons start harassing me. I paid most off leaving enough money to pay for my band of brothers but the bandits kept coming. Sometimes I'd fight but mostly I'd run. I was like super close to a city with an inn but I had ran out of money and was forced to fight a horde with over 50 guys vs me and about 10 peasants I managed to recruit. Suffice to say they died... brutally. To put the icing on the cake I had just recently purchased a full set of plate armor and a fancy saber and when I was released from bondage the bastard bandits stole my plate armor and the rest of my gold. That's a rage inducing situation right there that could have been prevented if we had a manual save feature, cause when I reloaded it first went back to a point where I was totally surrounded by band hordes and couldn't move so I had to repeat that scenario, then it went back to after they stole my $12000 plate armor that I grinded for. Had there been a manual save option I would have loaded to a point before I got caught looting the village by the king's army. So I agree with you about the save feature.


...also cheats would be nice.

Ya one of my friends has allredy quit the game for a beginner witch most consal players are its WAY to hard without manual saveing and even for me who played 400+ hours on pc its to hard to be fun its just play until you lose and all your progress gets reset.

 

[William Bone]

You can quit before autosave. Just do it before return to the minimap.

 

[brendanland]

That doesn't always work and wont fix the fact there should be no auto save to begin with all it dose it make the game unplayable hard and add a lot of lag and glitches.

It's a workaround and obviously it would be better to have options like on PC version. But for me it works everytime. I just go to the dashabord and close the application during the count kills/wounded screen.

 

[brendanland]

Even if it works for you it hasn't worked for me and its a work around for something that shouldn't of happened in the first place its like forgetting to put in military cleavers or horses how can you forget to add a huge chunk or a important part to your game.

 

[dbomb]

on PS4 you can copy your save file to USB which you can go back to. bit annoying but better work around than quitting your game while autosaving as this could corrupt your save file.

 

[brendanland]

Well I'm assuming most players of the console version are on the xb1 (just from my experience most ps3 players back in the day were all on cod and nothing else) so were will that leave us its would be nice to be able to use this exploit but even still the whole game is built around being able to reload enemy party's will always be bigger than yours will always have better troops than yours and will be faster for the most part in vanilla why was this removed and replaced with this retarded auto save feature. don't get me wrong I'm Shure there are plenty of people who play hardcore but most don't and don't want to.

1. While in the battle, quit without saving
2. Don't be a *****. Play the game the way it's meant to be played. If you get captured oh well.
3. Cheats would be great

 

[brendanland]

1 its a core feature of the game
2 don't be a **** the game is unplayable almost with out reloading and just not fun I would never of purchased this game on the pc to begin with if you could not reload considering if you lose a battle you can lose stuff you've spent hours grinding for and the whole game the ai cheats non stop
3 they would but the full version of the game that's currently on the pc would be better than the featureless version they released

Play the game the way it's meant to be played.

On the PC with the ability to save to slots?

 

[brendanland]

Ya I don't know what his problem is.

 

[dbomb]

autosave corrupted my save file after 1500 in game days. This sucks!

 

[brendanland]

It sucks to see they would strip features to begin with this alone has convinced me to not buy banner lord if they do a console release there was no reason to do this.

 

[Evelyn]

Well, do remember that Warband wasn't made with consoles in mind. It's really an afterthought, and probably a technology test for Bannerlord on consoles.

 

[brendanland]

But they did act like this was a full release of the game and cut most of the content.

 

[The Director]

The saving is what I find most frustrating about the console port. I understand that with achievements you want to limit 'exploits' as much as possible but no save slots? Come on. I've had to start three characters from level 1 just to play the way I want to. You have to use at least two characters to get all the single player achievements, but realistically you're looking at between four or five. That's a ridiculous number of lvl 1 play-throughs.

Also, what's up with the inability to import/export characters? I thought that would at least have shown up since you removed save slots. Instead of resetting the map at level 1 EVERY TIME I want to play a new round, starting at level 30 so I don't have to grind sea raiders would be awesome.

 

[brendanland]

Ya judging by the lack of response from the devs and the fact its been this long I doubt it will be added in so ya it just shows don't preorder games no matter how much you think you know about them.

 

[captain lust]

Thought we'd mentioned this somewhere but apparently not! Save as and options to disable autosave will be included in the next patch (expected this month).
