It’s a week since the successful launch of Armored Core 6, and already the internet has been flooded with some of the most amazing mech creations. Some issues have also unfortunately arisen, and they could potentially affect your save game.

FromSoftware recently sent out a Tweet acknowledging the issue. A translation of the Tweet reveals that the studio is aware of a bug that causes data to not be saved properly under certain circumstances. While the issue is being sorted, the studio advises you to close the game before putting your PC to sleep.

FromSoftware is investigating the issue

This isn’t the first time FromSoftware has struggled with save file issues. When Elden Ring launched in 2022, some players experienced save issues on PS5 and PC, though the studio did release a fix. Elden Ring unfortunately had other issues on PC that affected performance, and they also needed to be addressed by patches.

Some Reddit users on the Armored Core subreddit have complained about the game not properly saving their progress, suggesting the problem isn’t exceptionally rare. The problem is worsened by the fact that AC6 doesn’t have multiple save slots, leaving you reliant on one precious save file. This makes it even more important to follow FromSoftware’s advice until the bug is patched out.
