Thrive: Heavy Lies The Crown News

Greetings fellow Nysians,

Thanks for your ongoing support to help us diagnose the issues around the autosave bugs experienced by some players. It is greatly appreciated.

Today, we’ve rolled out a patch that disables autosaves for all players and another fix to potentially resolve disappearing saves. This is our highest priority and we continue to work on a permanent solution to resolve these issues.

We’re expecting to release a patch with a permanent solution in the coming days, and advise players to manually save their progress when they begin playing and before exiting the game in the meantime.

For affected players, any detail you can share with us on Discord would be much appreciated. Please note that lost saved data may not be possible to restore.

Keep in touch with us on the Steam Discussions board or in Discord - whether reporting bugs, issues, or sharing your thoughts with our team that will help us to share the future of Thrive: Heavy Lies The Crown: https://discord.com/invite/thrivehltc

Greetings fellow Nysians,

Thank you so much to everyone for taking the time to jump into Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown during our first few days in Early Access.

Watching players explore the land of Nysamor over the last few days has been incredible. Seeing our community grow, and those who have been here for a while sharing their journeys has been a truly humbling experience for all of us here on the Thrive team.

The feedback from the community has helped us to identify several issues affecting some players. Specifically, over the first few days of Early Access we’ve noticed save files becoming corrupted for some players. This is not something we’d picked up in internal testing ahead of our release, and has been very difficult to replicate and resolve.

The entire development team has been working tirelessly to identify the cause, and are in the process of working on fixes to address these issues. We’re expecting to release a patch in the coming days, and would like to advise players to manually save their progress when they begin playing and before exiting the game in the meantime.

For affected players, any detail you can share with us on Discord would be much appreciated. Please note that lost saved data may not be possible to restore.

We’re committed to improve the Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown experience for all of our players. Early Access is just the start of our journey, with lots of new content and improvements planned over the coming weeks and months that we can’t wait to share!

Your feedback is invaluable - whether reporting bugs, issues, or sharing your thoughts with our team that will help us to share the future of Thrive: Heavy Lies The Crown: https://discord.com/invite/thrivehltc
