Report: A number of players have indicated that levels and dungeons are unlocking before they've earned them, causing achievements to prematurely trigger for completing dungeons.
The Problem: We discovered that a save file from the testing phase was accidentally bundled with the update files, and is overwriting player save files.
The Solution: There is a fix, but it comes at a possible cost. Current progress may be reset due to this issue.
If you've already unlocked levels and do not want to again, you can use the konami code at the dungeon select screen for each individual dungeon to unlock the levels in that dungeon. The code, if you aren't familiar is: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A (use the arrow keys for directional inputs). If you have cloud saves enabled already, this issue may not affect you.
To fix your save file and start fresh without issues going forward take the following steps:
- Step 1: Go to your Steam Library and right click on Arcane Golf
- Step 2: Select "properties" from the drop down menu
- Step 3: Uncheck the "Cloud Save" option from the menu that pops up
- Step 4: Go to your Steam folder for Arcane Golf and then double click the Data folder. It should look something like this: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Arcane Golf\\Data (note: depending on where you view these patch notes, you may see two slashes due to formatting inconsistencies on Steam. There should only be one slash between folders as usual.)
- Step 5: Delete the file called "Progress.arr"
- Step 6: Launch Arcane Golf
- Step 7: Once you complete one level of the game and then exit you should be able to re-enable cloud saves and progress through the game as you normally would.
Because we're constantly resetting game progress while testing, we don't always have Cloud saves enabled, and weren't immediately able to replicate the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience!
