Otis Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 was a long way from my base doing some scouting when found a place I wanted to check out. Killed the 3 Z's wandering around and started pounding on the door with my club. All of a sudden im getting hit. spin around and backpedal as 3 dogs start eating me. I Die. well it's late so I figure ill just turn of the PS4 and go after my backpack the next day. Next day I get back on the game and choose respawn on my bed and pow I'm standing next to my backpack fighting the 3 dogs from the night before. managed to kill them this time and was great that I didn't have to run all the way back from my base. is this a glitch? if so can it be repeated consistently?

Thelek Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 i would guess you glitched. what probably was your game autosaved during your fight with the dogs. when you shut down the console with out respawning, it corrupted the local save and when you started the game it grabbed the cloud save.

Jysen Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I tested it out on a creative map before, (was mapping out a new seed) and yes, if you die and immediately close the application/console, when you reload into the game, it'll spawn you next to your backpack. It won't show in the stats that you died, but it will reflect with your score that you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damselx1 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I wouldn't recommend shutting down without saving properly first - I did that without thinking on the last creative build challenge; must have been when it was autosaving and I corrupted the save and couldn't load it - the loading screen just sat there. I didn't have cloud saves set up so lost the lot but if the cloud save had been enabled, it would have updated with the bad save anyway in the time between sessions.

Muggs Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Not sure how this even saves. On clearing the local saves I have ended up 30 seconds to 8 minutes behind the crashed place. Its never the same length of time. So when does it save to cloud? As far as clearing the local saves,this works on just about every game. Something don't go your way do this it will put you before whatever happened like a rewind of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelek Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 i have had cloud saves as long as 13 min behind the time of crash. near as i can tell the game autosaves in 15 min intervals, sending the last save to the cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damselx1 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Interesting to note - I think I've got the cloud saves up and running now so if I have any more trouble I can hopefully rescue my build. Thanks for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
