Private game doesn't save progress after 3-5 autosaves
BRANCH: None
REPORT:
Hello.
I have a problem with saving progress in my private games. It looks like the game creates an autosave every 10 minutes as expected, however at some point (after about 1 hour) the saves stop being created. For instance today I played from 12:40 AM to about 15:00 AM. This evening I was surprised to see that about 1.5 hours of progress were gone, so I played from 8:40 PM to about 9:30 PM. I decided to check if progress is saved and last 30 minutes of progress were gone.
I attached a screenshot with my autosaves folder. The last save was created once I hosted a game (with 30m of lost progress).
I just want to know if I could manually increase autosaves frequency or initiate a manual save somehow. It would be even better, if an autosave could be created when the host leaves the game.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Host a private game
2. Play for ~1 hour
3. Leave the game
4. Continue the game
A substantial portion of progress will be lost (?)

FaerynI have a similar issue, my game keeps sending me back a significant amount if I leave the game. I played for almost 1.5 hours earlier, started building my base and exploring, quit because I needed to do something for a minute then rejoined and it had sent me back to the armour crafting quest. I had this issue on both my private solo game and on a private server, so I'm not sure what exactly I can do to resolve this.

JujonkeyThe same is true for me. I started several "servers", with new characters and each time the game decides apparently randomly to not save my progress after a certain amount of time. That unfortunately makes it currently unplayable for me.
A manual ability to save the game/world state as admin/solo player would be really appreciated. -

bobSame issue here. it autosaves every 10 mins and then just stops after a certain point. I was digging through some of the serverhostsetting files and notice there is an AutoSaveCount variable on there and the default is 25. not sure exactly what it does but i will be playing around with it

aphoticlyfe MergedWe had a Error: Server Error message but figured out how to make it work by deleting the last auto save folder but now when we look back there are far more than just 1 folder. I have checked them and absolutely no data files are in it them which means completely blank. We start out in the wrong save point - we lost 3 v blood bosses, cosmetic work on our castles, crafting new technology, etc because we play hours at a time.
What is the issue here? seems the Auto Save feature is messed up - is there any way to get the data for our folders from your servers?
We would hate to start alllllllllllllll the way back when we have invested so much into this game along with money on DLC too. -

Draconuuse MergedFor some reason we have no autosaves for about 6 hours of game play. Plenty of space on the hard drive. and running steam in admin mode. This has lost us quite a bit of progress. Can a manual save feature be added to force a save before closing or check any issues with autosaving. Thanks

WHAT? :
Playing on a private game, pve, marked for soI played for about 45 minutes earlier today, exited the game normally.
Came back this afternoon to play.
Went to Continue => Local Saves => selected my save, and click "host game"
At about "server startup 205/209" the main V-Rising game window switches to a another smaller dialog that shows for just a few seconds. Then disappears.
Switch back to V-Rising game. it says "Error: Server Error"
I found some notes on here that suggested deleting save game folders.
This worked, however I'd lost about 20 minutes of game play.
I played for another 45 minutes. Exited normally.
Just to check, I went and looked at my local saves.
I have 6 auto save folders, all are completely empty (0 bytes) except for AutoSave_0, which contains files last modified much earlier today.
In game, local save won't load.
Deleted folders again, local save works, but 45 minutes of progress gone.

JinbeiJust had the same issue, where I stopped playing after playing for 3.7 hours (According to steam) I went back on 2 hours later to check something, only to find my save had lost hours of progress. ( Going from Copper weapons to just having made the Reinforced bone) Deleting the last 1-2 saves in the saves folder seemed to being my progress back.
This was on a private game I was playing Solo, but server was not marked as solo. -

YureiblankPlaying solo server, 2 1/2 - 3 hours of progress lost due to autosave failure. Has been a daily issue of autosave failing after 30 min - 1 hour. Sometimes It starts to autosave again after 2 hours, sometimes not.

Bazohazer MergedSecond time in a week that I lose a save. When I leave the game and come back I realize that I've lost a lot of play time because the game didn't save the progress. This is something that doesn't happen in a specific situation. I just leave the game as usual and when I came back part of the progress is missing.

AshREPORT:
When did the issue start? today
Were you able to play the game before? yes
What happens? Please give as many details as possible. The last 4 or 5 hours of progress are lost on a private server with two people. It was on a cloud save and then it was taking too long to load. Cloud save was disabled by host which improved the amount of time. The cloud save from several saves ago is present now instead of our most current progress even though the cloud save was disabled.
Have you modified your game files or installed any mods? no
Can the devs reproduce the issue? How? Possibly by enabling or disabling cloud save and seeing if cloud save becomes re-enabled by steam, and server progress is lost.
Have you tried any solutions? Restarting the steam client, restarting the computer, turning on cloud save and checking the game, turning off cloud save and checking the game

Report:
I also experienced Autosave issues.
Solo game stopped saving even using coffin. Reason for that was a full HDD as it seems. I'm playing on Bootcamp windows. Partition is quite small and Steam + Games are installed on external HDD. Internal Partition where the savegames are stored was almost full (around 100mb left) and game stopped saving. After making some room, a new autosave was created directly at login to the last save.
A warning if an issue like this is detected might be a good idea, since the game apparently handled it and didn't crash but also didn't say anything. -

Liz MergedFor the past two days when I have attempted playing on a private server, eventually, the game stops saving our progress citing that there is not enough disk space, but there is plenty of available space. I have tried refreshing the game and checking the server log but have been unable to resolve the issue. As of now, the game is unplayable because it cannot save.
