Quick patch notes that represent a surprising amount of development effort.
My hope is that this update should kill save file corruptions for good, because even if something corrupting happens it will only mean that the previous session is lost rather than everything.
Just want to say a sincere apology to anyone who has lost their save file. This has been an issue that has plaguing the game since release, and every previous attempt I've made to fix it - as documented in the update patch note history- has reduced the number of occurrences but never eradicated them. In my opinion this kind of issue is unacceptable for a professional product, and it represents the growing-pains of me figuring out how to be a real developer instead of just a hobbyist.
Thanks again for bearing with me! My hope is that solidifying save file integrity will free up space for me to actually work on new content that adds to the game for everyone and makes it as good as possible.
Happy fishing!
