the "autosave" saves your stats and money. the only way you can "hardsave" is by beating a chapter.

that is an extremely stupid design choice and I cannot fathom why they would do that

It's kinda odd I'll agree with that. I found saving to work as you'd expect when exiting when inside of a shop.

Huh I just checked and loaded exactly where I left the game yesterday- in the middle of first chapter at whatever city I was at when closed the game.

Yeah I'm having this problem too! I played with a friend yesterday. We both got to the point where co-op unlocked and played a good bit of co-op. Was about to hop back in to continue and get some new skills with the money I earned...but it says my progress is 0%! I'm level 9, I have some Gallery unlocked, but I can't load my game?!

Anyone know what's going on? We have people claiming they can continue from where they left off and others that say they can't? What's going on here?!

Just asked my friend I co-opped with and his save worked just fine. I'm half wondering if playing online co-op as a guest nuked my progress or if it's something else.

@Titan @Junglejuice did either of you two play online co-op at all?

I was playing solo offline

So looking at it, I think saves are handled ALMOST like interrupt saves. Basically when you click Story Mode it will say "You have a save on this chapter, would you like to continue?" and then you either continue or it deletes the save.

What I noticed more, however, is that there's a warning screen saying you will lose your current chapter progress when joining online games OR going back to the Chapter Menu. The thing is, we're so used to screens like that just meaning "you'll lose all progress up to the current save" and not "you will lose your current save".

THAT SAID, you do keep all your levels and unlocks and most importantly: fast travel locations. This makes breezing through a chapter up to where you last were pretty easy but it is still a sloppy save system. I THINK this is what's going on.

This has to be the dumbest save system I've seen in a long time. Almost seems like it came from SNES days. Like seriously these devs couldn't figure out a modern save system in 2022 for a small game like this? Either lazy, or very unintelligent...
