Yeah I had the save file disappearing thing. If it helps, it happened right after my browser crashed one time. When I restarted the browser, that save file was gone. Prior to that crash it was able to save/load just fine.
It wasn't even Newgrounds that crashed it that time ... some stupid other site. People should really test their sites better so they don't go crashing random people's browsers (at least not as often).
"had" as in past tense? Do you remember when you encountered this problem? Was it before v1.11 or after?
Hmm, just lost some progress.
Sorry, no idea what problem exactly it was, but I'm on 1.14.
I cleared my browsing history, which was about the only thing I did-
I was running Chrome 36.0.1985.143 m, which is not the most up-to-date one, although a second ago I just updated it.
My relevant extensions are
Adblock
Disconnect, which blocks tracking sites
Tabs outliner
The way tabs outliner works and "saves" tabs could cause a problem. The details are a bit complicated, but most likely I'm wrong.
Aside from that, I really don't mind this problem TOO much, since it's nevertheless enjoyable, however discouraging.
I don't think I see any problems in my chrome settings. Can you perhaps give a list of optimal settings to compare with?
I'm not sure if it was a great idea posting this after updating chrome, however I don't think it might make a huge difference.
What happened was that I don't think I loose save progress on SOME saves. If I close chrome, and let's say what I just saved is going to stay permanently, and then I open Phoen, play for an hour, save countless times, then do something like close and restart, that "permanent" save will still be the active one.
Thanks for the detailed write up! I'm not sure if I can fix this kind of problem. The game is saved as a flash "cookie", and if you clear your browsing history that will clear your cookies out. I just tried it myself and confirmed that my saves also disappear if I clear my history with Chrome's default settings. To guard against this, you can "uncheck" the cookies option when clearing your history.
Sorry for your lost progress! I will update the news post to warn future players. I'm also brainstorming alternative approaches to saving, and will update when I have more news on that front.
After beating 2nd boss I can't use statues to save my game. I tried all instructions to fix it but it doesn't help....I'll keep the window with game opend, mb it will fix later:D
p.s. Sry for my english
That is really strange. Can you tell me in more detail (feel free to PM me). Can you interact with the save statue at all? Or does the screen flash and display a message at all? If so, what is the message?
Sorry. I meant to say earlier that I cleared purely my browsing history, not including cookies, which I never clear.
Thanks for clarifying. Hopefully the new system I'm working on will fix everyone's problem
Thank you for creating this awesome game. :)
Idk how to PM there. I'll write right here. In my last comment You saked me if I can interract with statues. No, I can't. As I say after beating 2nd boss I just can't use statues, there is a hint in conor of the screen( mean press X) but each time when I press X button near the statues my hero just use regular atack, its the only problem, but its more fun to play this hard mode:D
Thanks for reply to my last comment and sorry for my english again, I know he's bad.
That's really strange. It sounds like the game got into a bad state somehow. You might have to cut your losses, but I'm sure if you refresh the page and reload the game, those save statues will start working again.
I've refreshed a page and lose all my progress but statues still dosen't work. Even if I starting new game hero just atack statue each time when I press X
Interesting... I'm kinda stumped to be honest since I've never had that issue show up. You might have better luck with a different browser. If you're not using Chrome, I suggest you try using that. And if that doesn't work, try firefox. Let me know if that fixes your issue.
Something appears to be wrong with the game. I get an error message when I try to play it.

Not a save issue, but another glitch: In Forgotten Forest, the area with two harpies, whenever their bombs go off at the same time, the game slows down dramatically. One frame every ten seconds, if that.

Thanks! Added to my bug queue. Feel free to PM me if you find any more.
