10 minute load for a quit button

[wooden plover]

I tried a reinstall (yes, on an SSD) and it's still doing this.
Worked fine last night.

I uninstalled the game and added this code in the game startup mode (right-click, go to properties, general, and startup mode (-d3d12)) it solved it here.

[wooden plover]

that's a confusing wall of text.

[wooden plover]

Been trying to load, using your advice since you posted it. So I guess the load time's increased so far 😄

Edit: Nvm just loaded in to the same screen as above. Thx though

[raw wolf]

Well that is up to you to figure out. I can only share information can not do it for you. From what others said it is really simple.

Perhaps share what you find confusing and someone can help you.

That is from the devs I can not control how they write things. Just a player like you but trying to help the community and the devs.

[icy adder]

scoob just leave these kind of things to yourself, its a pattern that just drives people away

[raw wolf]

Buzz off. You are not a moderator you are no one. I will continue to do what I do and just attempt to avoid the likes of you.
Geez. Do you always play moderator or am I special?

[austere cove]

It does absolutely nothing whatsoever.
Much less to solve this particular issue.

[austere cove]

Your local save file is corrupted, and the game has no way to handle that for some reason so you end up either stuck on loading screen or with Main menu with no buttons.

The game is creating automatic backups so you might want to rollback a few, otherwise the save is toasted.

[wooden plover]

Even after a fresh install?
Maybe if I delete my saves?

[austere cove]

Uninstalling a game in Steam never removes files that were created after the game was installed (specifically files that are not present in Steam repo), so reinstalling the game won't fix anything related to saved files.

The only thing that fixes your initial issue is to remove the corrupted save from %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

[wooden plover]

YOU ABSOLUTE PRINCE!

Thank you SO much!!

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[austere cove]

If you use Steam Cloud, disable it for the time being and keep a manual backup of your saves.

[wooden plover]

Done!

[ripe vector]

I keep trying all the different "Fixes" for this same issue but nothing is working. Am I just sol until the devs come out with an update?

[violet wedge]

Having the same issue since last update, this is the actual solution, if you are not tech man like me, here google search on how to locate it

<@&1354821664998817822> Some game devs need to look into muting this dude on their steam forum and in this discord. He is responding to frustrated players as if he is some form of authority, and mouthing off. Thats a real bad look for the game community.

[silk reef]

did you try #│public-test-instructions

if you go through the step by step you will be able to bring back corrupted data

[silk reef]

dont @ the moderator - bad look

also - people dont read the public test instructions - so of course ppl who trying to help are getting frustrated

READ PPL

the instructions have a step by step to recover corrupted data

[tacit sphinx]

What's up.

[gloomy spade]

Please in the future submit a message via modmail rather than ping all the mods. Thanks

[civic current]

regardless. in my hunt for info I've seen that name pop up repeatedly telling off people. really wild to see those responses in the first two weeks of a game release. If it were me, I wouldnt want some player acting like they represent the game and being that rude.

[silk reef]

Reading up

Yeah Scooby was having a bad moment it seems

Don’t condone insulting peeps

But I do understand his frustration

I think I’ve @ted maybe about 20 some ppl the same message telling them to follow the steps for #│public-test-instructions

[silk reef]

If you want me to help you with a step by step I gotchu

[wooden plover]

@austere cove 's advice fixed it. I can play now

[silk reef]

Step 1:
find your save files following the steps in the instructions

Step 2:
copy paste ur save files to another folder so u have a backup

Step 3: go to your game - right click - properties - in the beta section - use the code PublicTest292026

Download the public test

Start game

It will tell you the files are corrupted and offer to delete

Run game and it works great

Pop into singleplayer and run around for 1minute

Pop back out

Then pop back in and make sure it saves

Leave game

Go into folder and open up save profiles

Run game as normal version

While live in menu go into ur files and delete the DB2 files

Exit game

Reopen game

Fixed forever

[silk reef]

Oh lol

My b for not double checking before wearing my fingers out typing all that

Welp glad to have ye back part of the crew

[wooden plover]

sorry!

[silk reef]

Is all good

I just keep @ing peeps cause I want them to enjoy this fun pirate adventure

[wooden plover]

it's pretty awesome, huh? I've been playing non-stop since it came out

[ripe vector]

Thank you so much this step by step was a lot easier to follow then the public test instructions

[gray siren]

This plus turning off Steam Cloud Save worked 100%. o7

[clear cobalt]

i was able to use 2-3 backups back to recover my second to last save--- to get to backups go to search bar type %appdata% then at top where it shows folders go back one folder to get to appdata then go into local > R5 > saved > saveprofiles copy and save this folder somewhere and delete the whole folder from appdata, launch game and create a new character and load into a world to generate a new folder> now go to the saveprofiles folder you saved and find the file thats name ends with backups (there should be several try get the one thats contents was edited second to most recently), copy the whole lot from inside one of these backups (the 0.10.0 folder and the account description txt folder) then go to the appdata>local > R5 > saved > saveprofiles go to the folder that has just numbers (your steam id) and then into RocksDB and delete the 0.10.0 folder ,acc desription and steam_autocloud txt file from inside and paste the backup one in, you can try launch if it doesnt load go back repeat steps with 1 more backup file back (to find out what file is mopst recent you can right click and see when was edited last, the most recent one will be corrupt but 2-3 back should work), continue untill loads (you will lose few hrs of progress but better than nothing)
