Troubleshooting: Save/Load not working
Last updated

Usually your save and load game will work automatically but there are some cases where it can fail to save and load correctly.
The title of a settings widget is important for save and load game because by default the SaveGameID is set to 'Use Title'. If you localize this title now (so if this title changes at runtime) it is not working to stay with 'Use Title'. Instead you need to enter your own unique Save Game IDs here. Just click on a setting in your settings menu widget and in the Details tab change the Save Game ID. For example you can choose for the Save Game ID of the shadow setting: 'Shadow SG' or 'My Shadow setting'. What you enter here does not matter, just make sure it is unique so there is no other settings widget using the same Save Game ID.
If you use as Save Game ID 'Use Title' and have two or more settings with the same title this will be a problem because each Save Game ID needs to be unique. Please read Case 1 above and you will know what to do (you can keep the save Game ID but would need to choose custom Save Game IDs).
This is for the rare scenarios where your main menu and gameplay is happening withing the same map and if you have for example one Settings Menu widget in your main menu and another Settings Menu widget or Pause Menu widget in your gameplay this will lead to save game and apply problems. There is only one Settings Menu widget supported at the same time. If you have one Settings Menu widget in your main menu and when you start playing you open another map it is no problem since the widgets from the main menu got removed. However, if you do a servertravel your widgets are still there even though you switched the map. Please check Seamless Server Travel.
