So, before I get into what I've actually found. I want to say that I absolutely love this game and have been following it since before official release. This game means a lot to me in different ways. So, I want to help in any way I can and report what I find! That being said I've found quite a few bugs that I would like to report. The biggest and probably most game breaking bug that I've found is the save bug. Every time I attempt to save the game, it says "Save data saving failed" along with code for what I assume is the reasoning behind failing. Now, I have seemed to find some interesting things about this in some cases. For some reason, it seems to do this when my inventory is more on the full side. So, I'm assuming it might have something to do with items. It has also mentioned screenshots being the code reason when saving. Taking screenshots itself works, but when loading back into a game, the screenshot in question turns into a white box that I can't even delete. I've also noticed that when loading back in certain things are missing from my inventory. For now, I've only noticed water missing for some reason. Now, the biggest thing that I've noticed with this save bug is the fact that it actually IS saving, despite saying it failed. There have been multiple cases where I have saved the game (with it saying that it failed) and loaded back into to find everything there and intact- exactly like it actually saved the game. So, I'm not sure what's happening with it.
Now, I've also found a few other things that aren't as bad as the save function. The bulkhead animation in bases does not work whatsoever. Your character just glitches forward and the door shuts. No animation except for the weird second of glitching forward. Another very minor thing I've seen are the crabsnakes glitching out and being in a straight up position- floating around in a circle (usually happens when they try to go into a mushroom). I've seen this quite a few times so I figured I'd report that as well. The game itself seems to run a little strange. Occasionally, framerate will randomly drop and things will freeze for a moment. There's also an occasional jittery movement of the character. These however have never really bothered me much, but again, I figured I'd mention it. I've also noticed that moving while having the habitat builder out causes a lot of lag. I haven't experienced anything like bases disappearing or being stuck in loading ground or even crashing, but I've heard from other's that this is something thats happening as well.
I'd like to mention again that while some of these are very frustrating and all that- that I still do absolutely love this game. I'm glad that this game is still getting attention on the console versions with that update that came out. Sadly, there's still some work that needs to be done with it considering these almost game breaking bugs. I absolutely cannot wait for the switch version and Below Zero regardless of all this! Also, I would've definitely used the feedback system in game, but it's harder to type all this out on the console when this is an option as well.

We are so upset with this outcome and wish there was a way to fix this... be careful with the save crashes— they might seem like they’re still working but you may find it is only a matter of time before you lose your game too.
Glad to see other have the same
Problems on ps4!
I can’t play this game longer and i am
So close at the end
I had it a couple of times, that I was unable to save my game cause of screenshot Failures. The solution was always to delete all
Screens. But now I have a white screen and I’m not able to delete it. I tried everything but nothing helped. Already made a ingame bug feedback but no response. It’s so annoying.
I had the same problems whit the screenshots first time I played the game. Then this happened: Played for nearly 40 hours, began constructing for the Neptune rocket, saved, next time I loaded up, everything I built was gone. So I started a new game, played trough it, got cured and all, again started constructing for the Neptune rocket, saved, and again, next time I loaded the game, everything was gone. Just me, the life pod and what I had in my pockets before.
So close to the ending, only 2 trophy's left, but whit this bug... If I could send in my save file so the Devs could get a look at it and maybe make a patch, so that this won't happen to any other players, I think that would be grate.
For me, I won't be playing the game again unless in know this issue is patched up.
Even such a simple feature as selection the slot during the Save could help a lot here (especially to avoid loosing all the bases and stuff if the last save was bugged).
Is there any progress of the fixing these bugs ?
I'm still slightly unsure as to what the fix file has done.
I see the fix is out, and I have installed it, but.. There isn't much else on what it was meant to have done to those of us with broken game files.
Am I to presume the save I have that is broken, will remain broken, and the fix is only good for new game starts?
As it is, I'm kind of hanging around waiting to hear if it's retrievable, so I'd like a definitive answer so I can move on..
Seems like something developers would want addressed considering it makes continuing seem fruitless.
I turned off, restarted the system and it still keeps loading an old save. I lost so much work already, unsure if there is a fix?
