Presumably due to missing data.įirst thing first it is necessary to understand how the save game is stored for Age of Wonders 4. Due to the nature of the glitch, it was unclear what the cause was and there was no known fix. Once the conditions for the glitch were met, the Pantheon and all other progression information became inaccessible. Not accounted for are sub branches which contain DLCs. This was particularly noticeable in the first two weeks after launch, when two patches were released and an additional hotfix version of the game was available. This mainly happens when a patch has just been applied. It is not the Steam Cloud Services per se, but rather a reaction of that factor and the game glitching at launch. It was, and still is, unclear exactly what is causing the problem, but during my testing I observed a culprit that reliably triggered the problem. This includes session information, factions, realms and the Pantheon. The bug of interest comes from reports of players apparently losing their save games.
