Creature Lab - News - Patch 6 for Creature Lab - saving system improvements

Hi, adepts of unconventional chemistry! As you all know, this week we are deep in the fight with the issues connected to saves and scientist missions. The matter is complicated and we may have still some work to do to eliminate all possible sources of the problem. However, we want to provide you with valid solutions to make your experience run smoothly, so today we are introducing an improvement to the saving system. [b] It should lower the possibility and frequency of issues with saves.[/b] [quote]Please be informed that the improved save system will also not work retroactively - [b]saves that were already corrupted due to the issue will remain corrupted.[/b][/quote] After testing this solution, we trust that it will protect your game saves in a significant manner. However, [b]we cannot guarantee that it will eliminate all of the issues upon implementation[/b]. We will be still working on perfecting the new system. We have also modified the type of data saves provide us with, so [b]with new systems saves will carry even more information crucial to reproducing the issues and finding their source[/b]. Due to this, we kindly ask you to contact us if you experience any further issues [b] and send us your saves via Steam, Discord, or to marek@imagepower.pl.[/b] Please send the whole contents of the C:\Users\ USER NAME \AppData\Local\CreatureLab\Saved\SaveGames folder. Besides the save issues, we are fixing the bug in today's patch with two mission popups appearing at once and causing map freeze and some other possible soft locks. We also amend the issue that causes a reset of save names when overwriting. [b]Additionally, we have introduced changes that may lower the possibility of map freezes - but as this bug is particularly hard to reproduce, we cannot guarantee that it resolves all instances of it.[/b] We managed to reproduce this bug only once in the testing environment, so we're working on limited data. The community feedback will allow us to estimate how our solution is helpful in practice.

[b]For the map freeze issue, we are still seeking videos of the issue happening[/b], so if you have such a video or would be able to make one, we would be grateful if you sent it our way at marek@imagepower.pl, on the Steam forum, or via our Discord. We also would be grateful for DxDiag.txt files to check if the configurations have a part in generating the issue.
