Fallout: New Vegas Message Board  

So their i am playing the game. i travel it saves, i go in houses it saves, i play an save an after 6 hours of playing an getting quite far it crashes.......


no big deal the game saves alot right? i wont be that far behind right?



boy was i wrong, i guess when it crashes everything i did while playing every save everything gets wiped out to the last time i played an it didnt crash.



dont know if this has happen to anyone else but this is the 2nd time of done this. last time i lost 45min of work now 6 hours any fix,any help, or anything to do to prevent this. or should i just play for a bit get off jump on over an over an over an over a bunch of times?

THe problem is the autosaves that update to the steamcloud are messed up. The game only saves the autosave from the verry first time you play to the steamcloud and then every time afteer that the game crashes or you exit the game the next time you load the game will have your first games autosave. To combat this just save your game every 5-10 minutes. Especialy if you play on a system with vista/windows 7 because the old crashes for fallout 3 are still there and back in force.

Also one thing you can do to fix this issue is to go into the games steam properties and disable SteamCloud so as it wont over right your auto saves
