Save doesn't always load
Posted: Tue Dec 22, 2020 7:21 am
Hi: I'm late to Slime Rancher having just picked it up a few weeks ago. Lately I've been having intermittent problems where my save won't load and the game locks up and has to be shut down via task manager.
After ruling out what I thought could be a corrupted save file for whatever reasons I can't right now recall I changed the game's resolution to the highest setting and it loaded. Playing in that resolution gives me horrible motion sickness so I switched back to the lowest in-game but for several times playing it would only load while in the high resolution. Then one day I forgot to switch to high-res before loading and it worked fine and continued to do so for a few days. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't load again at all, then a couple of days later would load just fine. As of a few minutes ago it was back to not loading.
About my device and game: installed on my Windows 7 laptop from the files I downloaded from GOG (rather than using their launcher). I have no mods and patched up to 1.4.3 yesterday.
Thank you for your help.
P.S. In re-reading the FAQ it says possibly my computer isn't up to snuff. I'm not real smart but it seems to me that should cause a consistent problem, not whatever's going on here but no doubt it's possible I'm mistaken. I don't know, it's frustrating at best.
