Tutorial (english & portuguese)

-------------English Version (my english it`s not so good, so don`t be mad at me)-------------

I was the victim of a bug in which when loading the game I am tracked with 0HP, and it is funny that this leads you to a gameover with no chance of returning. We will "solve" this in a "simple" way by creating a backup of salvos.

1-Find the game saves:

Parking is at (or something like that):
C: \ Win8.1 \ AppData \ LocalLow \ Blasters \ DOF \ SaveData

Note: if you have difficulty finding the directory you can use the free (and very good) search engine called Everything. And in the search bar, type SaveData.

2-Create at least one folder inside of the previous folder (I noticed that for some reason the backupfiles may disappear inside it`s backup folder in SaveData.)

-Create a folder to save your saves (I created two -backupOld and backupNew- one for old and recent saves)
-Copy the files and paste in there (in case of a bug just copy them back to the main SaveData folder)

3-Leave the folder open when playing and always keep your backups (a bit annoying but safe for a bug that will hardly be fixed - they say that the developers abandoned the game).

Tip: create a shortcut to the SaveData folder on your desktop.

Play without fear of losing your progress!

-------------Versão Brasileira (Herbert Richers zueira)-------------
Eu fui vítima de um bug em que ao carregar o jogo sou trolado com 0HP, e é engraçado que isso te leva a um gameover sem chance de volta. Vamos "resolver" isso de forma "simples" criando um backup dos saves.

1-Encontre os saves do jogo:

Geralmente está em (ou algo parecido):
C:\Win8.1\AppData\LocalLow\Blasters\DOF]\SaveData

Observação: caso tenha dificuldade para encontrar o diretório pode usar o programa de busca gratuito (e muito bom) chamado Everything. E lá na barra de busca escreva SaveData.

2-Crie pelo menos uma pasta dentro da pasta anterior (notei que por algum motivo os saves podem desaparecer de dentro da pasta de backup se estiver na SaveData.)

-Crie uma pasta para guardar seus saves (eu criei duas -backupOld e backupNew- uma para saves antigos e saves recentes)
-Copie os arquivos e cole lá dentro (em caso de bug é só copiá-los de volta a pasta principal SaveData)

3-Deixe a pasta de save aberta ao jogar e sempre mantenha seu backups atualizados (meio chato mas traz segurança para um bug que dificilmente será corrigido - dizem que os desenvolvedores abandonaram o jogo).

Dica: crie um atalho da pasta SaveData no sua área de trabalho.

Jogue sem medo de perder seu progresso!

Even with internet turned off, restoring backups doesn't work on Windows 10. Locally, somewhere hidden, God knows where, apparently the real savegames are being saved and used and the old ones that I put back in SaveData are immediately overwritten.

I tried removing ArchivedEvents from the Unity folder but alas. No difference.

Ehm...as it turns out, the backups don't work at all. Even with syncing disabled, replaced backup saves are ignored.

FlorisDeV 17 Jan, 2021 @ 2:15pm

Solved! You have to turn off Cloud Syncing (right click on the game title in Library, choose Properties) first in order for the above solution to work.

Strange! I've now played this game both on my Mac as well as PC (via Streaming, but shouldn't matter) and when I choose Continue, it just continues the same current savegame.

It seems that the savegames are saved in a (Steam?) cloud. Any clue how to work around the bug anyway? Maybe shut off internet connection and play offline? Will try...

I already had the problem...just after making backups I encountered the corruption. So beware! It's different in Windows 10. Files are in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Blasters\DOF\SaveData. But apparrently different in multiple ways. I found out that even deleting everything in SaveData would not delete my savegames, thr hs,r would still Continue to the corrupted savefile(with a Dead hero) which is apparently stored elsewhere.

I'm going to try the game on the Mac and see if it works there.

Thanks Duodecimus. I changed exit line with path to run game and thats creates backup every time games starts. Still I prefer not keeping saves on C: drive. Manualy save is nice for longer sessions.

Duodecimus 25 Dec, 2020 @ 3:45am

save this to a .BAT file to make quick backups, you may need to update the file path in the 4th line

@ECHO OFF
set CUR_DATE=%date:~10,4%_%date:~4,2%_%date:~7,2%
set CUR_TIME=%time:~0,2%.%time:~3,2%
set SaveFolder=C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\AppData\LocalLow\Blasters\DOF
set backupfolder=%CUR_DATE%\%CUR_TIME%
xcopy "%SaveFolder%\SaveData" "%SaveFolder%\%backupfolder%\" /e /h /c /i /y
exit

Creating command line that copies games saves should be enough in most cases.

Well its been reported by a number of different people, so its definitely happened more than once. I know I stopped playing after it happened, so can't say if it would have happened a second time if I had continued to play the game. I would suspect that is the more common case. From other reports, the game has some serious memory leaks. So its probably a memory addressing issue that breaks the game.

As far as I know this bug kills your entire group for no reason after clicking the continue button, so I believe the problem is losing the game's progress. The people who reported it said it happened only once.
