iwbms 41 Car Key Left In Ignition Vanishes If Game Crashes Or CTRL-ALT-DELETE

[TurtleShroom]

Good evening.

 

In my most recent "Zomboid" game, I accidentally jumped out of my running vehicle by pressing the "E" key and was unable to get back in, despite pressing it again and despite the green square being highlighted. I popped out of the car by pressing "D". Consequently, the zombies that I mowed over devoured me, and I committed an act of Save Scumming because of the accident.

 

Restarting the game at my last back up, I showed up back in my base and walked to where the vehicle was. It was there, but the key I had left in the ignition was not present. It vanished.

 

I am using the latest "I Will Back Up My Save" branch on Build Forty-One. Thank you for any assistance you may render in future updates.

 

 

Warm regards and bodies,

Closing the game incorrectly, be it crash or intentional, will result in either an incomplete or corrupted save.

 

Thus, the solution is to either find the source of the crash and fix it or stop incorrectly shutting down the game.
