Issues unresolved

Save system is broken on Windows 10

On Windows 10 systems the game's save system does not work properly; character or mission progress autosaving is inconsistent, and the game may skip large sections of the mission when loading a level.^[7]

Game can still be completed, though achieving 100% completion may be extremely difficult, as the bug interferes with the event flag required to spawn the werewolf and obtain the "Hypnotic Gate" artifact required for the "true ending".

Issues fixed

Possible Fixes for the Save system on Windows 10

Below are possible methods that fixes the game's save system to avoid repeating missions and skipping sections of missions.^[8]

Fixing Save System

Exclude save folder from File Indexing

Go to Settings.
Click on Search from the list.
Select Searching Windows from the sidebar.
Select Add an excluded Folder under Excluded Folders.
Add %USERPROFILE%\Documents\streumon\

Exclude save folder from Windows Defender

Go to Settings.
Select Update & Security.
Select Searching Windows Security.
Click Open Windows Security.
Select Virus & threat protection from the sidebar.
Select Manage Settings under Virus & threat protection settings.
Select Add or remove exclusion under Exclusion.
Click on Add an exclusion, select Folder and add %USERPROFILE%\Documents\streumon\

Turn off Read Only attribute of the Save folder

Right click on streumon folder in %USERPROFILE%\Documents
Select Properties
In General tab, uncheck Read-Only and click Apply
Pick Apply Changes to this folder and subfolder and select OK.

Rename temp save files

In the %USERPROFILE%\Documents\streumon\eye\Save folder.
Rename files beginning with temp_ like so: temp_profilename.hl1 and temp_profilename.hl2 to profilename.hl1 and profilename.hl2 respectively.
Delete %USERPROFILE%\Documents\streumon\eye\Save\backup folder.
Launch the game.
