My Character Shadow Warrior level 82 just got deleted plus 5 more characters from another players, and currently no patch saves you from this.
This is my 5th time with this type of major bug...
So tired of getting f&$#& up, (cause I really do like the game, to build the same Shadow Warrior 5times) I talked to some online friends and we put it to the test several times.
The accurate probability average is 10/10, and we tested 15 times.
IN ALL OF THEM, A TOTAL OF 45 CHARACTERS/HEROES FACED DELETION.
It´s the Xbox version and it's important to say it happened today (16/03/2010), all fully patched.
So If you're playing online (free world, PVP with "Public" selection) with 3-4 players the following occurs:
- 1st Player is playing normally
- 2nd Player hits the dashboard
- 3rd Player hits "Save Game"
In this very moment the game collapses in this specific order:
- 1st Player gets the character stuck, no running, but still attacks and cast spells (or in the case of Shadow Warrior can do the Jump from Combat Art) until eventually end the game.
- 2nd Player gets in "freeze" mode, the game won't disappear, nothing happens, and will not enter the dashboard until reset the console
- 3rd Player after saving the game, the room you're at closes, leading you to the main menu "Press Start". when pressing start the console freezes in "Loading" NOT showing the "Continue: Create Game:etc", until reset the console.
The final result prooves dramatic:
- 1st Player left the game and can play normally simply by pressing "create game" or "continue". No corrupt "save files" no nothing. All woks well.
- 3rd Player and 2nd Player restarted the xbox, "press start" with the same profile and freezes on "Loading" with the background image of the grass and waterfall. No buttons working, cant play the game at all, unless changing to another XBOX profile. In System - Memory - Sacred 2 - Saved Games- My Profile, shows "Profile: 1 , Heroes:0", so the characters faced deletion.
So as the most logical sollution appears to be stupid (cause im not going to tell every single online game: "Hey! dont you dare hitting the dashboard while im saving the game!")....
THIS IS A MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS! HOPE IT CAN BE SOLVED BY ANY FUTURE PATCH OR WHATEVER:(((((((((((((((((((((((
