Casualties: Unknown: Please Fix a Run Instantly Deleting Itself If the Game Crashes While… (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: in general crashing shouldn't delete your save at all...
The problem
just lost an hour because the game crashed while loading a save. there should be at least a 10 second grace period after loading where exiting the game doesn't automatically reset your save.
What players suggest
in general crashing shouldn't delete your save at all...
This is why I always manually back up my saves for games that are permadeath or delete themselves upon loading because of stuff like this. Doubly so if you ever mod them such as a game like Project Zomboid. C:U saves should be located in: The file is usually named "save.sv". Just make an extra copy of the file.
