I played a little yesterday like 10 days and I had no save issues so maybe it’s fixed?

I had just logged on and had my save file rolled back from a few hours ago so might not be fixed

Nooooooo! This is the only fix we care about! I'll try and get in there and test as well, but boy is that disappointing if it's still happening.

Curses

I still haven’t had mine roll back after a bit more playing so who knows

I have been playing for almost 5 hours today, and a new crash occurred after I killed Bearger. That's it; everything works fine for me, and hopefully, one day we'll play a whole session without any crashes.

Having the option set to max (Very Fast) and waited 20-35 in-game days to see IF the Boulderboughs repopulated, but nothing has changed. The same goes for these changes from 325.

This gave me a good chuckle

Everything works fine till I go to cave, then game crash or lost connection to klei(I don’t remember exactly), the I restart the game, it rolled back around 8 days. This only happened once. 

And sometimes it still stuck at the loading screen, updating inventory. I turned off auto login already.

Happened again rolled back to the same place I was when I made the earlier post. A full playing day gone. Feels pointless playing when you're just gonna get rolled back everytime. Even if you close the game down multiple times to force save, it ends up rolling back further than when the application was last opened.

The Bearger thing was a fix that came from PC, not the one that I've been working on. It might have been causing some of the issue, but not all of it. Hopefully in the next update though, I think my fix is close.
