[Bug] After selling my sword, loading backup saves only have an empty weapon slot.
Here are the request Bug Report files.
Started playing after Hotfix 6 again, after only playing for a couple hours during EA launch.
I have only found two weapons, the starting rust blade and an Azure blade (I think I got from a chest).
I made it into sacrament and accepted my first bounty, went to attempt to the boss and kept losing. I could barely get to half his health before being out of food and dying.
I decided to go back to the city to try and upgrade my blade, as it feels like everything I fight I’m super weak against and can barely do damage. (running sword/shield)
First, I used most of my gold to enchant the blade making it an epic (purple) item. Then went to the blacksmith had enough gold to purchase copper to upgrade the blade and my armor.
I navigated (to what I thought) was the upgrade tab, but either I didn’t tab over enough or No Rest didn’t pick up my second input and moved to the sell tab instead of the upgrade tab.
Thinking I was upgrading my blade I selected it and without a confirmation screen it was sold.
This is when I discovered there is no buy-back tab, or ability to reverse the sell. This was my only weapon and I do not have enough money to purchase a weapon from the blacksmith (without selling off the clothing I have equipped).
I tried returning to the main menu, and loading a backup save from before I returned to town and sold the blade. However, each save I load (does load me back before I returned to town) but I no longer have my sword, instead my weapon hand inventory slot is empty.
Overall this is incredibly frustrating, as one I can’t really progress unless I randomly manage to find a weapon on the ground, but I haven’t seen a lot of weapon drops since the start of the game.
Second, with backup saves seemingly not functioning correctly, no buy-back tab, or any other method to restore the accidental sell. I feel like I’m stuck out of my save and would need to start a new one.
After having already sunk a few hours into this save and no desire to repeat what I’ve already done I feel forced to uninstall the game and play something else until there is a way for the backup saves to work, or I can simply mod the weapon back with a community fix.
Not sure if this is something the team is aware of or if there might be work still needed for the save system and if my game can be salvaged…
