A wave of dissatisfaction is rising among gamers dealing with save issues in Clair Obscur. Since its launch, many players report that the game doesn't save their progress, leaving them stuck replaying sections repeatedly.

Issues with Saving Progress

Players are taking to forums to express their frustrations. One user shared, "No matter what I do, the game doesnโ€™t make a save file. Iโ€™ve played the prologue three times over now.โ€ This problem seems to be affecting a significant number of players, making it a hot topic in discussions.

Understanding the Save Mechanism

The core of the confusion lies in the gameโ€™s save mechanism. Players have highlighted that the autosave feature is the only option available, with no manual save ability.

"There are auto saves but not manual saves," noted one commenter. "You can trigger autosaves by equipping a different weapon or winning encounters."

Several users have shared their methods for triggering saves, stressing the need to โ€œchange weaponโ€ or โ€œrest at an expedition flag.โ€

Mixed Sentiments and Frustrations

Overall sentiment appears negative, as players grapple with potential loss of progress. Some humorously suggested checking for excessive autosaves from Starfield hogging storage space, while many hope for a fix soon.

  • โ—‡ "This is frustrating. I can't progress if it won't save!" - A concerned player

  • โ—‡ Changing weapons is the key to saving. Just do it!"

  • โ—‡ Check your storage! 358,000 autosaves could be the problem!

Key Takeaway Points

  • ๐ŸŒ€ Many players report no save files after multiple attempts.

  • ๐Ÿ’ก Autosave only: manual save option not included.

  • โš™๏ธ Common triggers for auto-saves: equipment changes, encounters, or resting.

The situation remains fluid, with players continuing to seek clarity in how to navigate this save issue. Will a patch resolve these growing frustrations? Time will tell.
