Patch 1.6.0c - Save Slots & Other Updates

Hey peakbaggers.
This patch overhauls the save system as well as adding a few other updates and bugfixes, so be sure to check out the changes below.

[h2]Overhauled Save System[/h2]
The save system has been replaced with a more stable one that includes save slots, backups, and safety measures that ensures it won't overwrite progress on the off chance that your files corrupt or otherwise. The previous system was outdated and very prone to issues, so hopefully this new system should be more stable all around.

[h2]Save Slots and Backups[/h2]


  • Save and load from 3 different save slots across all modes.
  • Save slots will display a % COMPLETE based on your progress in that slot. E.g. 90% COMPLETE means you have completed 90% of the game.
  • With this new system in place, you can now migrate your old save files to the new system once you go to slot selection. This will migrate your previous save file to the first slot. If you don't have any progress in old files, the migration feature won't show up.
  • Note, you cannot copy and rename files that come from different modes to other modes in order to cheese progress. Doing this will result in the slot displaying "WRONG FILE MODE" and the save will start from the beginning if pressed.
  • Backups are now created for save files. In the event of a save file corrupting, your regular save file will display "Corrupt! Use Backup" and will take you to the Save Folder locally. You can now use the backup files (.bac extension) to retrieve lost progress. Simply remove the .bac extension and rename the slot extension ("PeaksData_Normal_0/1/2") to whatever slot between 0 and 2.
  • Main backup has no additional number after the .bac extension, while files with a number after the .bac extension are backups from different points in the game.

[h3]Updates[/h3]


  • Hotkey buttons will no longer readjust view when used on some tools.
  • Improved the collision detection a bit on slopers and general hand holds.
  • Improved front-facing crampon jump detection.
  • Removed Delete Progress from the Main Menu options since the new system incorporates save file deletion. Previous Delete Progress option has been replaced with just deleting Time Attack scores.
  • Added a secret new "mode" along with an achievement for completing all peaks with it enabled.
    Can be accessed from the Main Menu after completing the game. Must be used on a fresh file where no peaks have been previously summited.
    I don't expect anyone to complete this, at all...

[h3]Bugfixes[/h3]
  • Fixed a bug with Category 3 not unlocking after appropriate progress in YFYD and Free Solo. Should unlock after either 5 boulders or 20 fundamentals and 1 boulder.
  • Fixed some issues with velocity during pause.
  • Fixed a bug with pausing the timer while doing a time trial run and summiting.
  • Fixed a bug where you coulden't grab coffee from the belt when you were "coffee high".
  • Fixed a few map collision issues.
  • Other minor bugfixes and tweaks.


[h3]Hotfix 1.6.0a[/h3]
  • Fixed a bug with game percentage displaying incorrect numbers.
  • Migrating will disable as soon as you migrate your progress to the new system. If you delete the first slot file from the new system (delete next to the slot), you will be allowed to migrate the file again.

[h3]Hotfix 1.6.0b[/h3]
  • Fixed a bug the base ending resetting progress on the new mode.

[h3]Hotfix 1.6.0c[/h3]
  • Fixed a bug with ice axes missing in a migrated save file if you had previously unlocked it in an old save file.
