As soon as I open a chest and take out an item, I get a loading screen that takes 5-10 minutes. After loading, I get to the main menu without a character, only with an exit button. I've also tried looting other chests, but the same problem occurs. This is already my second character, and I'm losing the desire to create and play a third. I've tried everything, from turning all the settings down to closing all the tabs except for the game.
#Loading screen Glitch

Thanks for the report! So you're able to play the game normally, until you build a chest and try to take an item from it? There is no issue in depositing?
Or do you mean a treasure chest, that can be found in the world?
slow pecan
Only with treasure chests is there no problem with built ones.
And the character is reset when I leave normally, and when I loot chests and leave, I'm trapped. Only things on the map change; I can build, but everything else disappears.

Can you please:
- turn on the option "Show gameplay statistics" in gameplay setings, 2. create a character
- do a couple of initial quest steps + gather and craft some items to fill your normal inventory?
- send a fullscreen screenshot of your inventory screen, so It also has the debug info at the top right corner?

on same map or new one?
With a new character, it worked normally last time until about 6-7 hours of gameplay, then the bug appeared.

Can be the old one

That's what it says on the old one, and now as soon as I interact with something, I get the loading screen.

Can you send screenshots of your main inventory and curio tab?

I see. Have you tried restoring one of the backups? Game now creates them at each launch (up to 30). Saving your progress might be difficult if this save is already corrupted, but the version from the backup might still be fine. I'd try couple of them at least to check if they are also broken.

How can I load a backup?

HOW IT WORKS
• An automatic save backup is created on game launch (both for client and dedicated server).
• The maximum number of backup files is limited to 30.
• Only saves from the current version are backed up.
• Backups are stored in the folder:
SaveProfiles/{steamid}_Backups
• When the file limit is exceeded, older backups are deleted (the 31st backup replaces the oldest one).
HOW TO RESTORE BACKUP
Go to:
• C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles%your_Steam_ID%_Backups
• Select the latest backup (or any preferred one). Backups are named by date and time.
• Copy all contents from this folder (it should contain one folder + AccountDescription.json).
• Navigate to:
C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles{your_Steam_ID}\RocksDB
• Paste the copied files there (replace existing files if prompted).

AccountDescription.json how i become it?
I'm sorry, I found them. Thanks for the help, I'll give it a try.
slow pecan
I found a backup, but every time I put it in and start the game, the old save file is there, even though I can see that there are fewer characters on the backup.

Turn off your steamd cloud. (and generally keep it off for Windrose, unless you really need it for something)
slow pecan
I was able to load the save, but it's already corrupted. Is there anything else I can do to save it? And if not, what should I do if it happens again, and what's causing it?
desert spear
We're working on a fix, but no estimates for now.
Things that help preventing:
- turning off steam cloud for Windrose
- not using mods (people make them sound safe, but right now they VERY often corrupt saves)
- If anything starts working weird - rolling back to a previous backup as soon as possible, to not lose too much progress.
