Cry Of Fear now crashing for some reason
« on: 07 September, 2015, 12:53:10 AM »
Cry Of Fear is a great game.
I started the story on Wednesday.
I have now got to the save point named ... after smashing through that wall when you first get the sledgehammer.
Every time I go to load my save file now, the game just freezes, says its not responding and closes.
Could someone help me with this? It's a great story and I want to see it through to the end.

I dont know if this will also help, but I have only been overwriting my saves on save file 1 and nothing else. Is that making it an unfixable problem?

The act of saving on one file alone isn't what triggered the bug, but yes most likely this will be unfixable as the bug you've encountered occured right before or as you saved. Allthough I'm hoping someone will know of a workaround to help you out :)

If you keep a second save that you alternate between every once in a while you'll be able to sidestep a lot of issues that would normally lock down a save like that.

You could always ask for a savefile from someone else who is currently playing the game and who is close to where you were when the bug happened :)

Ok, well I'll start the story again and skip the cutscenes to get back to my point, I'll keep the alternative save files in mind.

Thanks!!!
