Save Problems and Issues : It Takes two
The auto save is only saving part of the way through the level, despite many saves, we are having to play around 20 minutes of the previous point each time we save. Yesterday we had just finished ...

Having the exact same issue. Played the first chapter and then it put us back like 20 mins.. Then the second chapter didn't finish it all the way through and on resuming it puts us back like 20 minutes. * game-breaking for me the game is awesome but I'll wait for a fix, I don't wanna backtrack every time. Some details on my situation: Playing on PS4. Local Co op with a friend.
Can you believe we flagged this is MARCH, we are in June and not one reply or fix from EA, how many hundreds of thousands of people are playing this having the same issue and no response or effort for MONTHS. Truly mental.
Hi all, thank you for your posts and a special thanks to specluk for the hint with the mini games. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in our case (PS5). My daughter and me have the same issues as you and we tried this workaround with the mini game "Plunger Dunger". Once we enter in there the game doesn't continue when we are crossing the broken bridge and standing than on the big Log. According to a game solution we must fight the wasps at that point. But nothing happens... Seems like this section is really just for the minigame itself.
Has there been any reaction from EA till now???
Any other hints? This whole thing is almost unbelievable...
Ours was PS5 too.
in regards to the mini game solution, it is like if you are 80% through a level and it says it has saved, if there was a mini game at 50% through that level then as long as you have played that game when you lose your save.
when you try and play your save and you see you are back at the start of that level, sometimes you can play the mini games from the menu. This means when you play that game again you start at 50% of the way through and while not where you left off it’s better than from the beginning
not a single word from EA, utter madness that this was uncovered in March and it is December and not a single attempt to explain. This even won game of the year and that isn’t enough to get them to sort the issue. How many people have played it , got frustrated, so their copy and people have bought it per-owned costing the company a new sale? Madness.
try and put up with the frustration, it’s a great game but it was soul crushing for my other half who isn’t really a gamer to have keep doing the bits over again.
Thank you again for your explanation with the minigame. But as I tried to explain, we couldn’t use this trick for us, as in the case of the with the mini game "Plunger Dunger", we “continue” with the game and come to this point, where we jump together on the log (see attached picture). But nothing happens then. No wasps are approaching… nothing. And according to a game solution in the web, we should fight then wasps at that point. So I guess, when you are playing “regularly” (not entering over the mini games in the main menu) until this point, the game then continuous there.
So unfortunately, this workaround didn’t work in our case (I believe you that your proposal worked for you and others), and we would need to start again (known issue) at another point much earlier in the game.
Yea, totally agree with you! My 9 year old daughter would be willing to start again there, but I’m not :-(((( This is totally annoying and just not acceptable. I’m really thinking about to bring the game back to the store.
