| Summary | 0012234: Saving to a new timeline replaces region1 | ||||
| Description | I had created several worlds, and my latest was Dathadefíni, “The Ageless Dimension” in the region6 folder. I was building a great fort in this save and wanted to check out legends mode for the world, so I decided to try out the new “Save to a new Timeline” button. After poking around in legends mode for a while, I returned to a slightly confusing situation. I can continue my existing fort in Dathadefíni, “The Ageless Dimension” (in the region6 folder), or I can start a new game in Dathadefíni, “The Ageless Dimension” but this time in the region1 folder with one retired fort. That means that my very first fort in v50 is gone, wiped from existance. I admit it was not a very good fort, but I nevertheless regret losing it. I can only assume that the new timeline feature doesn’t actually work as intended, and after seeing someone in a similar situation on the Steam forum (<https://steamcommunity.com/app/975370/discussions/0/3761101693160470235/>) I remembered that you’re now accepting bug reports. db48x --- personal info redacted | ||||

I'm not familiar with the different severity levels are on here but I'm not sure this should be classified as minor. This is a loss of data. I almost lost my fort with 60 hours of gameplay because I chose "Save to new timeline" in region2 and it overwrote region1. The only reason I didn't lose it is that I had a manual backup. |

|
Agreed, this issue and 0012184 should be listed as major. Anything that deletes saves unexpectedly is one of the worst bugs you can have, |
|
|
I would agree as well. Severity has been increased to Major for both this issue and 0012184 |
