Hello drafters,
We have released patch 1.5 this afternoon for Steam players. This patch addresses a number of issues reported by the community. Save Corruption & Loading Freeze Fixes
We've identified and addressed several edge cases that were causing save file corruption, resulting in a loading freeze when accessing the main menu. Unfortunately, if your save file was affected by these issues, we are sorry to say that means it is corrupted and irretrievable despite our best efforts to find a way to restore it.
This update also includes multiple fixes aimed at preventing these corruption cases from occurring in the future. Several code checks have been added to reduce the chance of corruption including redundant checking of the validity of the save before writing it. Additionally, we’ve implemented an automatic backup system: if the primary save becomes corrupted or lost, a backup save will now load instead. If you are PS Plus user whose save file has been affected by this, we have had a few encouraging reports from users who were able to restore a backup of their save file via Playstation Plus cloud storage. To restore from cloud on PS5 follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings.
2. Select Saved Data (PS5).
3. Choose Download or Delete from Cloud Storage.
4. Select the game and then the specific save file you want to restore.
5. Choose Download. We are also currently implementing an “IMPORT TROPHY DATA” feature to work with platform achievements that had been previously earned in previous save files (even if they don’t exist in any of your current save files.) This feature will be included in an upcoming patch. FURTHER CHANGES IN THIS PATCH LISTED BELOW:
Fixed a bug occurring when consecutive Parlor boxes were opened too quickly.
Fixed an input recognition issue on keyboard where [Right Arrow] and [A] were incorrectly interpreted as CONFIRM in certain cases.
