Since the auto-save feature when getting in and out of vehicles crashes the game often on console. How about a save button and even a Minecraft 360 style auto-save slider, that you can change in the pause menu (or maybe just the main menu) that auto-saves based on the amount you set (and the auto-save won't activate when in transition periods, like rocket travel and entering vehicles to avoid crashing, losing your progress).

Summary: 1.3.13.0 - Steam - Exposed resources disappear when loading the game Description: When I start mining and it exposes new resources, if I save & quit the game and then reload it, the newly exposed resources disappear.

Summary: 1.3.13.0 - Steam - Saving & loading while using chem lab glitch Description: Whenever I save & quit or save & return to the main menu while the chemistry lab is operating and then load back in to the game, the chemistry lab immediately dings like it's done, but there are two partial stacks of the end product inside. One is attached to the lab and moves with it, and one stays static. With solid stacks, you can run into the static stack to move it, but you can't interact with it otherwise. The chemistry lab can't be used again until you package/unpackage it, which is also the only way to get the partial stack that's attached out of it. I haven't tried every recipe, but it definitely happens consistently with titanium alloy and hydrazine. The only difference with a fluid end product is that you can interact with the partial stacks. After some testing, there are several partial stacks littered around that i can't do anything with. Dynamite has no affect on them. You can't package them. You can't pick them up. The only thing you can really do is push them by running into them.

So just finally completed the game for the first time with 302 hours of gameplay. Astroneer is a great game all around which is why I stuck it out and forgave many of the abundant glitches. However, as I was nearing the end of my playthrough the occasional game crash became very frequent. Basically, the last two planets I needed to activate were Glacio and Atrox when the constant crashing began and the fun turned into me wanting to bang my head against the wall. Trying to make any sort of progress became painfully slow and gameplay became disjoiunted. It became a very repetitive loop of launch the game, do some exploring to find and activate a node and cross your fingers to about a 30% chance the game would save instead of crash. Usually, it would crash and you would find yourself... somewhere with total lack of direction and loss of progress. By the time I got to Atrox, it was more like a 90% crash rate. Luckily I'm bullheaded and really didn't want to give up after being so close. By the time I completed Atrox it felt more of a relief than a triumph. The stability desperately needs to be fixed! I can totally understand why so many people have played and quit now. Long story short the game has a lot of potential, but the crashing really hurts the gameplay experience. I would love to see the game continue to grow with more solar systems which are actually hinted to in the ending. Perhaps more advanced materials, fuel and crafting to build a space station between solar systems as a jumping-off point to the next. I would get pretty excited about that! I was planning on continuing my gameplay of setting up a massive primary base and secondary bases on each planet, utilizing the fully unlocked teleportation network once I finished the game. Unfortunately, that just isn't practical with the stability of the game at this point. It just isn't worth playing when you only have a 10% chance of the game actually saving. I did discover that if you load up fresh and only play a little bit like 10-15 minutes you can get almost a 50% save success rate but it's not really worth the hassle. The fact that the game attempts to save every time you enter a vehicle likely isn't helping matters as it can be frequent at times. But regardless of the cause, the code for saving the game when entering a vehicle needs to be looked at as that is clearly the cause of the crashing in my case at least. I would recommend removing the game auto-saving when entering a vehicle personally. Add an option to save in the menu! It would also be nice to have a way to back up your saves. But if nothing else, look at the game save code as the problem is in there somewhere.

This game is unplayable for me. I can load my save game but when I reenter my rover it says saved but the timestamp for the save doesn't change and loading the save takes me back. I started a new game and it worked fine until I get established on Atrox. I now have two saves games that load fine but won't save again.

Couldn't find any way to open a support ticket. My game crash on loading a saved game. I have searched and tried various solutions, they have failed or inadequate. That stack overflow error(if that's what it is) makes the game a waste of time for me. Between work, marriage and family life it feels disrespectful towards my hard earned free time.

I'd hope you'll help me to change my review into a positive one, I would love to do it! https://steamcommunity.com/id/Tuxu/recommended/361420 I've added my logs in a rar file in the mail I've sent to support@systemera.net from the mail I've logged into this website. Please redeem this game from its mess! Regards, Tuxu.

I am pretty fed up at this point. For the second time this week, hours upon hours of progress have been completely blown away by some sort of cloud syncing issue. Steps: I play the game for hours (which I am no longer going to do until this is fixed) I enter a vehicle, multiple times during play, ensuring that the "saving game" prompt is on screen each time I decide to go to bed at 2 am after playing waaay to long, and making lots of progress I enter a vehicle before I quit, and again ensure the "saving game" prompt is on screen I load the game the next day and am greeted with an older save and all my progress is gone! This is the only Xbox I am using.

Summary: Game crashes after 10 minutes - 2 hours of game play following many hours (10+) without issue. Saving (vehicles/habitat/save and exit) no longer works. Game reloads back to same point regardless of crash or manual loading of save file. Two separate save files with same issues. Description: On my first play through I had 2 planets left to visit to activate all the relics. Part way through activating them on Atrox my game started crashing. Nothing in particular seemed to cause the crash in a reproducible manner since it would happen upon vehicle entry, during normal game play and at random time intervals. This was a minor inconvenience at first because I could just reload my save however after a few hours I noticed that my game would just reload back to the same point. That save file is now unusable because of the crashing and reloading to the same save point. After that i started a second play through. I was on the last planet I needed (Calidor) for relic activation and had 2 surface nodes plus the core left when my game suddenly crashed. Up to that point I had zero issues and the game crashed while driving my rover between nodes. When i loaded my game again I had lost the activation progress on Calidor AND another full planet and moon, so hours of progress. I had been saving consistently using rovers, habitats, shuttles and also by saving and exiting during this entire play through without issue. Following the crash it was as if a random portion of the save file just got erased. I now have the same issue in both save files - all attempts to save fail and the game inevitably crashes after anything from 10 minutes to 2 hours of game play. As it stands I can't progress and this massive loss of time is infuriating. I've also tried uninstalling/reinstalling which had no effect on my ability to save or the game's tendency to crash in either save file.

The following has been reported 1000 times before by 1000 other players. And if none of the developers solve the problem, there will always be more and more unhappy astroneers. The game is just unplayable in its current state. Since release with 1.0 a technical catastrophe. With increasing progress, the performance gets worse and worse and saving takes longer. Random crashes are every few minutes. Crashes when saving make it unplayable towards the end. When you reach the end of the story, the animation crashes too. Video of my 2nd Savegame started after Patch 1.0.6. Endgame, Glacio Chambers ready, on the way back from starship landing site to fetch rover. Here I’m stucked at this Savegame (2 of 4 meanwhile). You see the performance and when I enter the rover it crashed to dashboard. (Not recorded by Xbox)

Oooohhhh boy is this a problem! Currently on Vesania(?), unlocking all the Chambers, and since 1.0.8, the game only seems to want to save a handful of times per start up, then it says it is saving but doesn't actually do it (checking the Menu time stamp confirms this). Checked again in 1.0.9, same deal. Annoyingly I lost 3 hours before I noticed the first time. Don't get me wrong, I can keep checking the time stamp to make sure its been successful, but as i'm constantly jumping in and out of Large Rovers and Shuttles whilst traversing the planets to unlock chambers, I will forget. Also it means I can't host our multiplayer game either as (and we've tested this) it also stops saving, and I have to quit, meaning so does everyone else. Good job i'd made all the stuff I need before this behaviour started!

Was playing on a new save game on xbox. Playing the game normally gathering resources and working up my base. Got all the way to unlocking and building a tractor. As soon as i get in the game crashes. So I start over, gathering everything again on the same file. I think I've been doing a bit let me save in the shelter real quick so I dont lose everything again but the game crashes, once again.

I bought the game from the Xbox store a few days ago and played a few times that day and the game saved fine. Since then, it has not saved anything. Countless hours of work and base building on other planets have been lost to this issue. If this continues to be the case I WILL stop playing the game entirely. I’ve read the forums and tried everything to get it to save successfully so I can continue playing and enjoying the game as I progress. I enter cars, shuttles, and habitats showing my game saving icon. I log out by selecting save and exit to main menu. Yet, it still loses all my recent work and the only save data pod I have to choose is one from days ago with far less game progression on it. Just today I uninstalled the game from my console and reinstalled it. I played a bit and switched planets to test the save. Still not working.... Me signing into this forum and typing up this issue is my last hope to continue playing this fun game. Without having the ability to save I am truly just wasting my time playing this game. Please hep me correct this issue!

I played for about five hours today, I built the large shuttle (that i worked really hard for) and i got off. Only about a hours worth of game was saved when i got back on two hours later. So I have to get all the resources again and go to different planets to build that stupid thing by my self. I made sure that I got in my habitat to save the game, I even did three times before I got off! This NEEDS TO GET FIXED or I can't play because no progress gets saved after hours of hard, tedious work. p.s. I know you guys have been working hard to add new things, fix bugs, and I just want to say keep up the good work! :) Also hope you guys get this.

Hello, my game doesn't save anymore and I don't know why. I also tried to save the game by entering rover, habitat and shuttle. This happend some days after the patch. I just started a new game and it worked fine... just the other game still doesn't save.

Recently, me and one of my fellow friends have had a issue related to crashing. We have notice a lot of the time the error occurs after about 1 and a half hours of playing. This error is related to crashing after a save fails. Most likely this error is occurring as a side effect of the low frame rate and different timing between host and user. Therefore, if a player is running next to the host... the host will run slow and the other will run fast. If you can solve that error it might help adjust for the saving issue. If that doesn't work try to implement a "Try Catch" around your saving method in the code of the game. What is most likely happening is an error is being pushed that the Xbox doesn't know how to deal with so it gets a Not Responding. Therefore, the game crashes. In conclusion, this error is seen mainly on Xbox from what I have seen. If you have anymore questions I would be glad to respond since I would love to see this fixed.

Firstly, apologies if this has already been brought up. It is rather irritating that the game autosaves every single time you get into a seat - it causes a small amount of server-wide lag and is just a nuisance. There should be another, more obvious way to save. Moreover, would it be possible for characters to keep their inventories when they leave? Other than these points, I'm LOVING the game; I look forwards to seeing it develop further.

While playing (offline) I'll save multiple times either by going into the main pod or by going into vehicles. The game says "Saving" in green at the bottom. After a few seconds of waiting I exit out of the game by going to the main screen, pressing the 'A' button to get through the information, messages etc. Later on when I go back to load the same save it loads back up as something old (something from a few days prior) Meaning I lost all the progress I made, and the game didn't save. It seems to be off and on. The save I was using was only about a week old (I made a new one for the update) and it saved most of my progress up until I unlocked the large rover. As of now anything I do doesn't get saved.
