GG 6+ months to get this broken crap out. Sorry but preview program or not how hard is it to test if the save feature works? I mean its not like saving your game is a magor feature thats been broken before .. is it ... seriously fire someone.

I see 5 fanboys disagree with my post. Sad shit is i bet the devs agree that a save bug after all the waiting xbox has done is not good enough. But yeah disagree all you like and continue giving each other reach arounds.
I suggest knowing at little about the pain and pressure if coding a professional game before you make such a bold statement.
I'm sorry as a paying customer i should support incompetence. The fact save games has been broken before and obviously not tested before pushing a release at a community thats been waiting already too long. Yeah I'm sure whoevers in charge is fine with this and happily applauds all you clowns that stick up for them when they drop the ball.

Are you so sure they "didn't bother to test the update?"
Its a minor bug that will be fixed in short time...

The thing is, yes a bug crept into the game. But even if it has the same result as "an earlier bug", there is no guarantee a huge update like this doesn't have a different cause somewhere in the code. And has the same repro-steps. And from what I've seen people reporting here that it saves once and then it stops working, but it's also not 100% consistent it seems as most don't have the issue... Making this even more difficult to track down... In a test case scenario (playtest), "it works", and under the pressure to get this thing out the door, they assume it will continue to work. I'm sure they did not expect it to stop working after the initial save, logically that doesn't make sense and probably every programmer in the office is now frantically looking for the cause... Heck in simple terms, it could range from something simple as a file in the save set to "Read-only" after the initial save. Or something more pervasive in the code, where some running code sends wrong/corrupted data and their file save code stops the save process before it corrupts the file (if they have such checks in there)
They will, as usual hustle to do a hotfix asap. Which sadly has to go through that awful MS cert check once more... And there's the teensy tiny thing that while you definitely paid, you did also agree to pay for an unfinished product under heavy development, which will experience bugs from time to time.
Of course this card is pretty easy to pull and they did drop the ball, but calling this huge content patch "crap" because of one bug is also too easy and a bit on the shortsighted side. Even if the bug is one of the more annoying ones, potentially game breaking for progress at least. Shit happens...

We tested this patch a lot over months, and we did not see any save/load issues. In fact, On both my public regular Xbox and my XDK unit, I still have no issues saving & loading.
We seem to have a small number of users who have the problem. If we don't see it the problem during testing, we cant fix it. We can only investigate when we know an issue is there.
Also kindly, please check the attitude at the door. We know you're frustrated. So are we. We're in game preview for this very reason. You opted into having potential issues like this when you paid for a Game Preview game, with all the warnings that come with it. Now, you can either help us and work together to try and figure out what might be causing it, or not. That's your call. But arguing and name-calling is not going to help the situation.
Heaven forbid I don't pat you guys on the back and say everythings fine.
Preview program is nice to use an an excuse but are you really ok with being the only preview program out there thats left a game broken and unplayable for months and months on end.
Stupid me for thinking that you're not ok with this, obviously its no big deal cause we're in preview.
Kindly check my attitude? You effin seriously gonna pull that when you incompetent fucks are happy to take our money, happy to make us wait freakin months with a broken game while you hire people to fix what you cant and then rather than posting to the xbox community that you screwed up again, take the time to trash a customer who has every right to be pissed and disillusioned by your company. Well played sir . And for the record arguing and name calling, takes more than 1 person to argue... name calling? Harden the eff up and yeah kissing ass and saying everything's fine I'm sure helps you guys more.

Yup thats exactly how its feeling around here. Look I love the game and as I've said before have been a follower of this dev team since natural selection half life days and am just very disappointed with the track record of this game and now for the 2nd time a freakin save game bug... do they get worse other than not working at all? So I apologize If I have been rude or have seemed to be anti social and anti ass kiss.
I refuse to applaud you guys for getting this patch out after how long it took but that doesn't seem to be a popular choice considering most posters seem all too happy to wait longer.

... prepared to be seized.
I meant that sarcastically by the way...
Your argument is completely valid but the salt levels are way too high in your post. I recommend toning it down a bit.

F***!!!
Seriously, though, I'm glad to see this. Bummer about the save bugs, though.
