Hi everyone and thank you!
We really appreciate all the kindness and feedback we have received.
This update focuses mostly on fixing issues, but also adds a few more tooltips.
We're listening to you and we know that the lack of tutorials is a big issue right now!
This is something that we want to address bit by bit over the next updates. Having said that making everything more clear and coherent is a long-term goal and will take much more time.
WARNING:
We've received multiple reports of corrupt save games and we're still investigating the cause.
So far this has mostly been reported happening after a PC crash.
We improved the save loading mechanic to show corrupt save game timestamps in the new version so that your save game will no longer show as empty.
Don't worry! You can still get your save back if this happens to you.
Here are 3 methods that you can try.
1) When your save game shows as corrupt it might not actually be. In some cases only the timestamp got corrupt. This means your first attempt should be to just try and load the game!
2) Ok, the local save won't load you... You still have a cloud backup if you've been playing online!
The Perfect Tower II saves your progress into our cloud in addition to the local save and the steam cloud. This means that when you open the game and it shows a corrupt save game you will still have the option to load your save game from the cloud!
If the cloud says "offline" that means the game couldn't log you in. The game tries to log you in via Steam when you launch the game, but since we had a lot of server load it can happen that the log in won't work and you'll most likely have to restart your game to try again.
3) If your cloud save can't be loaded or it doesn't show up there is only one option left...
Contact us! We are the last line of defense and we might be able to recover your save game!
Either post about it on the steam discussion or go to our Discord server and contact SpeedyBrain directly. We're here to help. ;D
