Restoring a game after death, sometimes random placement

Post by tiresius »

Hello there-

I have the demo, and I've died a few times and restored the game, and I've also just restored a game while in the middle of playing. And sometimes with both these methods my character ends up in random places on the map. One time he was put in the middle of the map, in a spot he hadn't been in before. One time he even ended up stuck in trees on the south-west side of the map directly north of the starting map.

I can't get it to happen at will but just thought I'd throw it out there if others might see it too.

Yes, very odd. It is a rare occurrence and only a few people have reported it. I will keep looking for a solution, and hopefully you (or someone else) might be able to provide more clues to what is causing it.

Thanks for the report.

Happened to me twice. The first, random placement dying and restoring from save. And I've had a random placement starting a new game.
