Good morning!

Before we begin today, I hope you are safe wherever you are, and that you are in a position to take care of yourselves during this time of crisis. Practice social distancing and proper hygiene. I sincerely hope everyone comes out of this safely.

So last week, I started reading the Red Queen quartet by Victoria Aveyard. I finished 3 of the 4 books, but had to take a break from the sheer whinge that is the lead character, so I've bounced back to the Witcher series and have broken into Baptism of Fire. I'm enjoying it so far.

For those of you who are joining us for the first time, I'm Erika, the Live Services Manager for Crusaders of the Lost Idols and Community Manager for Codename Entertainment, and I will do my best to answer your Crusaders questions. This Q&A is so you know where to find one of the team to chat Crusaders weekly.

I will be answering questions live for the first hour and then checking back throughout the week.

The previous Q&A: Number 195!

RE: Changes in how the game saves.

If i need to close my browser or reload for any reason, are there any actions that force a save - or event in-game that i can wait for and be sure it's saved. I tried a couple things, but ended up losing progress and changes in formation i'd made with a reload so was just wondering.

Closing the game, whether that's clicking the X on steam, or navigating away in a browser, will pause a moment and prompt the game to save immediately. I suspect that closing the browser completely won't allow this, so I would close the Crusaders tab before closing the browser, if possible.

I'll dig more into the limits that various browsers might impose on saving in this way.

And in general, most meaningful actions (moving Crusaders, leveling them, buying upgrades, beating areas, bunch of others) will prompt the game to save within a couple minutes. I have some ideas to have it save more aggressively in these situations without spamming the server as it did previously.

For now, if the saving on close isn't working for you, I'd move a Crusader around and wait for the "Saved!" popup. Sorry for rambling!
