It’s simply one other day mowing down hordes of otherworldly monstrosities as I hop from one post-apocalyptic dimension to the subsequent. I’ve bought my devoted doggo by my aspect and a full clip of ammo in my Blackmaw assault rifle. Issues are wanting peachy as I convey down a number of hulking bosses and put them of their digital graves. However, wait! Why has Remnant 2 out of the blue booted me again to the Xbox dashboard? That’s… odd.
Nothing to fret about, people! Simply have to load up my save and… OH! Why am I having main déjà vu vibes proper now… isn’t this the place I used to be at, like, SIX HOURS AGO? Perhaps these superior rings and relics I discovered are nonetheless in my invent— nope, they’re gone, too. Oh, bummer.
Sure, we’ve all been there, I do know! Dropping your save progress could be a actual kick within the tooth, however I’ll be sincere: it hasn’t occurred to me in a sizzling minute. However you realize what actually rubs salt within the wound? It’s occurred to me twice in Remnant 2 now. TWICE. *Large Sigh*
Factor is, I’m nonetheless completely loving the sport up to now — sans the save bugs, in fact! The gunplay is tight and responsive, the enemy roster is artistic and various, and the quantity of distinct biomes is mighty spectacular. Actually, it’s a helluva good time, particularly in the event you’ve bought some buddies in tow. (I’ve bought to make do with my loyal pooch, which I’ve endearingly nicknamed Rambo because of how gosh darn fierce he’s, however I digress…)
Initially, my first hunch as to the reason for this headache was that it was some type of bug associated to the Fast Resume function on Xbox Collection X|S. For the unaware, Microsoft’s console retains the sport in a kind of everlasting save state to be able to leap straight again in the place you left off. Frankly, it’s an absolute recreation changer, and a function I like. Sadly, although, it could be why Remnant 2 doesn’t save correctly on Xbox platforms.
That being stated, taking a short gander over on Reddit and some different on-line boards, it does seem that the title suffers from save knowledge bugs throughout PC and PS5 as effectively. Hopefully, Gunfire Video games can deploy a patch to assist ameliorate the issue sooner or later. In any case, they’ve been fairly lively in supporting the sport up to now. Living proof: the Austin-based studio not too long ago dropped an replace that improves the efficiency of the sport by fairly a large margin on consoles, which is all the time welcome.
After the second occasion of the save bug, I’ve now begun exiting out of my recreation and saving each half an hour or so. Certain, it’s removed from splendid, because it’s not precisely tremendous handy. But it surely’s higher than shedding hours of progress, proper? I imply, significantly, a 3rd time may simply be the straw that breaks the Root Zombie’s again. Ah, who am I kidding? Remnant 2 is simply that good.
However how about you, although? Have you ever skilled any save bugs in Remnant 2? Or are you merely having a blast together with your friendos? Pet these canines within the ordinary place beneath and tell us.
Remnant 2 is out there now for Xbox Collection X|S, PS5, and PC.
