[2022] [Feedback] Allow saving during River Raids

Hello there @Freestepper!

Thank you for taking the time to share your report with us. I'm sorry to hear that you've been experiencing crashes during River Raids.

Please note that the ability to not save during River Raids is working as intended, as it increases the risk and reward of the raids. The only way to save the loot you've collected is to return to the settlement. I'll pass on your feedback about being able to save during the raids to the dedicated teams for further consideration. If this feature is to be added, it will be shared in the News & Announcements forum.

Can you please provide me with some more information about the crashes you're experiencing, so we can try to troubleshoot these further? If you haven't already, please can you try all of the steps on this support article? These steps help to tackle many common causes behind technical issues in-game.

If you're still experiencing crashes after trying these steps, please don't hesitate to update us within this thread so we can investigate further.

Thanks!

Thanks for providing more clarification to your feedback, @Freestepper. I've spent quite long on some of the River Raids myself, and can understand how losing all that progress due to a crash could cause frustration. I've passed on your concerns to the dedicated team for further consideration.

If the ability to save during a River Raid is to be introduced to the game, this will be communicated within the News & Announcements forums.

Thanks!

Thanks for elaborating for us one of the issues you've had during the river raids, @freestepper - these short teleports sure sound unusual, so I'd love to look into this further.

Are you able to point out on the map specifically which cave this was? I'm not sure the issue is about the cave itself, from the information you've given, but it'd nonetheless be useful to know where it happened on that occasion. Can you share a screenshot showing where it is with me?

Can you also tell me if these issues have persisted even after performing the steps on our troubleshooting guide that Ubi-Borealis linked? In particular, please make sure you've verified the game files, and updated your operating system fully, so that the game definitely has access to all the correct files. If you haven't done that yet, can you do so, and let me know if the problem improves?

Let me know if I can clarify either of these steps!

@Jack287346 - I am sorry to hear that you struggled to complete the River Rhine due to crashes, and issues with Eivor "teleporting" away! I'd recommend running through these troubleshooting steps if experiencing crashes in-game on PC. They're known to resolve many common, localised issues for our players, so we like to see them completed as a baseline. Regarding the "teleports" of Eivor, we have a megathread for reports of issues like these set up here, and I'd recommend for you to post there if experiencing issuses like those frequently so that we can keep all of the relevant information together. Many thanks!

@KamikazeSG12 & @Syrjaelae86 - As above, we have a megathread for reports of issues like these with Eivor "teleporting" away set up here. I'd recommend that you both post there if experiencing issuses like those frequently, so that we can keep all of the relevant information together and compile any additional information that the development team needs in one place. Thank you for sharing your initial reports here!

@Freestepper - Troubleshooting is a first step that we ask all players to complete, to ensure that the issue(s) being encountered are not localised. I hope that you can understand our logic for this! Regarding the "teleporting" issue, as I've mentioned above, we have a megathread dedicated to this subject here. I would recommend that you post there and follow the thread so that you can stay up-to-date with the latest developments in that investigation. Finally, in terms of saving during the river raids, my colleague @Ubi-Borealis and myself have passed forward the feedback from this thread regarding this subject, so thank you for taking the time to share your extended thoughts on this and how the River Raid game mode could be improved.

@KiroFtGlX, @azullFR & @ChuckKatse - The development team are committed to resolving identified issues as much as possible, so please rest assured that the crashes and issues with Eivor "teleporting" are ones that they are taking seriously, and are investigating. As I've said above, we've passed forward feedback from players regarding the introduction of saves into the River Raids, so we'll keep you all updated as to whether this is ever introduced or not.

@bielik01

Thanks for sharing that with us. I'll pass this on to the team investigating this issue.
