venner Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 After playing all day i took a 30min break and went back to the game to find the save was back at 9:23am this morning so lost about 6hours of game time. The save at 9:32 was just before i put the xbox in suspended mode as popped out to the shops. When i came back and carried on everytime i went to manual save it came up "Cant save at this moment in time" I thought that might be because i was on a main story mission and just carried on like normal. After searching the web it looks like other people are having this problem so wanted to warn people. Always manual save and then switch the xbox off at the wall when playing the witcher 3 at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd. Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'll remember this. So, if it starts happening, basically just do a power cycle and it fixes itself? Thank you for the warning very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpso Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Thanks for the head up. Nothing worse than playing for hours and then losing that progress. I feel for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegfried Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Playing on death march is like a guarantee you won't run into that problem. I save so often that I would have noticed something was wrong on the first minutes of play Anyway, I'm not sure if it's related, but since every so often games have issues with suspended mode I made a habit to always quit the game before I turn the X-Box off (go to the dashboard, press the 3 lines button and select quit). Never had any problems with games since I started doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpso Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Suspended mode does seem to have its issues. Anyone ever have the TV tuner stutter if you switch from a game to TV. Had it with far cry and noticing it with witcher now also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suki Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Fuck just cost me god damn hours on death march and was a real slog battle to just lose all that and have to it all again. What the hell are these testers doing i mean this game was put back for polish did not one tester try this and get it fixed before release. I think when u finish your play if you quit to main menu then soft shut down it shoud be fine its just when u soft shutdown with the game in play, no need to do a hard shut down every time i dont thiink.

littlejay Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Can't you just quit the game from dashboard instead of having to unplug the system? Maybe launch another game too to make sure it's closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siegfried Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Why were you playing on Death March without saving for hours? Yeah, teach me master! I save every 5 minutes and die every 3 minutes If you do one wrong move in this game it's almost a death sentence. I was once casually strolling through the wilderness when a pack of level 1 wolves attacked. I made a crappy decision to attack two at the same time because they are level 1 and I'm the big bad level 6 witcher. They then proceeded to alternate attacks on me in a way that I could not dodge for 5 hits. I seriously lost my temper there "Oh **** you! This is not Killer Instinct and you're not ******** Sabrewulf to do a 5 hit combo on me!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZingZitang Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 glad i always save quit and quit to dashboard before turning xbox off then. thanks for the warning I'm actually very surprised by the amount of people it seems don't do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suki Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Why were you playing on Death March without saving for hours? Beacause i kept getting the 'cant save now message' it wasnt through lack of trying and i didnt know at that point about the glitch i thought plod on and get a save sooner or later but it didnt and i died of course.

Lewie B I ReQ Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 i just had a glitch happen, seems as if i was stuck in combat without being in combat. i was able to fast travel apply oils but saving and meditation was disabled i had to reload a previous save to fix it. luckily i didnt really lose any gameplay, 15 mins maybe. i dont use the suspend resume feature at all. if im not playing a game i will quit it and stop it running. im not sure what caused this since its happen while im playing it. anyway just keep an eye out. if you cant meditate or save for no real reason just reload a save soon as. the less game time you lose the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
