I’ve been posting over here Game doesn’t save correctly but I realized that my problems 1st began with a crash during a purge immediately after that last patch.
Since then, what started off as minor losses in my inventory & few corrupted building pieces has since snowballed into massive losses, vanishing buildings, unsaveable progress, & most recently, gender reassignment.
Everything was saving fine up until that 1st crash. Sure, it was massively buggy with the audio lag, invisible npcs, choppy texture loads, vanishing bodies ect… but my progress always saved & base building was functional.
That last patch turned what already felt like a pay to play beta into a prerelease alpha.
