Load/Save issues and possible solutions

Bugs
#1

Hi warhorse and community,

since you are facing such a hard time with fixing the load save issue and all related aspects I wished to help and was thinking if there is any way we as community might help you by accepting some semi solution for a time.

Am sure as developers you are trying to solve it completely the way that player can save and load anytime anywhere. Was thinking, to make the task easier for example by this aproach - allow player or implement save mechanics only in midnight period where I expect almost all npc sleep and you will have not to much problems with recording their actual behaviour or status in the saving moment.

This aproach might allow you to push the atual build quality a bit further and also allow beta testers to test more content and not to try play it all over and over again which in time gets annoying.

Of course it depends if there is any diferent at all when saving game anytime or at some most idle night period, here is your turn.

Well, that would be all I wanned to say and provide some ammo for brainstorming in this issue.

All the best finishing game

My two cents on this idea: Not being able to save during daytime would be a horrible feature since that is when you need to save the most because of combat and quest progress etc.

Most saves are broken at nightfall for me. Only the daytime ones load, and that’s hit and miss

I would chose the option where the game is saved only at the moment of player sleep. For simplicity, we would not have the option to move time after hours, but the only choice - sleep in the morning, afternoon and evening. NPC would have only had loaded status what do to begin in the morning, afternoon and evening. NPC would continue to use the classic cycle until another sleep of player.
