Almost every computer game has a function to save progress, which will allow you to continue passing from the place where you finished it last time. However, it is worth noting that there are periodic errors with save. And they can literally annoy a gamer. Imagine how you spend an hour passing through an episode, trying to maintain your progress, but it doesn’t work out for you. Or, even worse, you manage to save the game, but then you cannot load it. This article will consider the case when the game Outlast is not saved. What to do in this case?
Run as administrator
The first thing you need to do if your Outlast game does not start is to try to appropriate administrator rights. This is done quite simply: you just need to right-click on the file through which you download the game, and in the menu that appears, select the option "Run as administrator". This will give you administrator rights to a particular program, that is, you will be able to use much more resources than in the user version. Sometimes, for this method to work, you will need to reinstall the game. Therefore, uninstall the already installed version, and then install the new one, which you will henceforth only run as administrator, if this method really helps you. However, if Outlast does not persist anyway, you need to look for other methods that work in your case.
Patch
Outlast is not saved by so many gamers, but most of them have a basic version of the game. However, you should know that there are four more patches that came out after the release of the game itself and corrected those shortcomings that were found by both gamers and testers. What should you do? Download all four patches and install them in turn. This should solve your problem, as well as fix some other small flaws that you may not have noticed before. You can also simplify your task by downloading the cumulative patch, which contains all four versions at once. So you have to test the program not four times, but just one. If you still do not save the game Outlast, there is only one option.
Profile path
You have a profile in the game on which saved progress is recorded. And if you are interested in the question of why the Outlast game is not saved, then you need to know one simple truth. It is applicable for almost every modern project. If you want all the games to start, function and save without problems, including Outlast, then you need to make the file path in English. This means that there should not be Russian characters in front of the Profile folder in which your saves are stored. And if you installed Outlast in the "Games" folder, then you definitely need to rename it to Games, otherwise your saves will not work. The same thing should be done with the name of the account - some projects by default require that the account in the operating system does not have Russian letters.
