Project: Mist Demo Saves, Save Transfer & Infinite Loading
Project: Mist save guide for Early Access: demo save transfer caution, infinite loading reports, Steam Cloud checks, fresh-start testing, and safe bug reports.
Save Safety Answer
Do not treat demo saves as safe Early Access saves by default. Steam lists Steam Cloud, but launch-window discussions include demo-save loading questions. Back up before deleting anything, then test whether a fresh Early Access save loads normally.
Safe Save Checks
Save problems are high-risk because a bad troubleshooting step can destroy progress. Start with reversible checks: verify files, inspect Steam Cloud sync, test a new save, and avoid deleting the old save until you know whether the problem is save-specific or build-wide.
| Save issue | Safer response |
|---|---|
| Demo save transfer | Do not assume demo saves safely transfer unless the current Steam news or developer replies confirm it. |
| Infinite loading | Players report demo-save loading issues; keep a backup before moving or deleting saves. |
| Steam Cloud | Steam lists Steam Cloud, so check cloud sync state before deleting local data. |
| Fresh start test | If a save loops forever, test a new Early Access save before reinstalling the whole game. |
| Bug report | Use Steam discussions for reproducible save bugs: build version, location, save type, and steps. |
What to Include in a Save Bug Report
- Whether the save started in the demo or the Early Access build.
- The last objective or location before the loading loop.
- Whether Steam Cloud was enabled before and after the issue.
- Whether a new save loads correctly on the same PC.
