Demo Abeyance resets. DEMO VERSION

Happened to me too. Although I like the struggle of working in the bloody darkness. But I can't even find Pluck in the Abeyance to finish the first main quest. Even got stuck inside the first settlement cause thats were I previously stopped playing in the demo and had to teleport out.

So I understand that the demo is limited and only in offline mode. but what is the point in playing / testing the demo if you need to start all over again because everything disappears when you log in. this is the 3rd time.

I love this game, the little I played but this needs to be fixed.

As a further note (in case I'm one of the few that just kept the demo on after finding out about the progress bug), traveling to another realm will also reset progress in the home realm to zero. So at the point where you've beaten the first "boss" and are expected to go to the Sylvan Realm, doing so will in all liklihood also nuke anything you've built or changed in the home realm thus far.

As a personal comment, the longer this takes to be fixed, the less faith I have in the actual game. I want it, but I want a game that doesn't just have my attention, but my faith that the game won't just nuke my progression. Loss of progression in any game for me is a number one interest killer.

I was really loving the game but it's very disheartening to lose progress like this. I was trying the demo as well and was planning on buying it to play with some friends but the fact that we can't save is very much a deterrent. Not sure if the purchased game will have the same issue but hopefully this gets fixed soon!

Same thing. If you quit directly out of the game without going to the main menu, it deletes everything. When I logged back in, I got rushed by several enemies, the skies had returned to being angry, I no longer had a cleansing card, and my base was gone. I was watching this game since before it's release, and then it had... that release, where everything was kinda half done and lame. And now there's a new demo and I thought, 'Cool. I'm sure they've fixed a lot and it's worth playing now.' ...and now can't even get the demo to work properly.

PLEASE tell me you can fix this game so it works properly. I WANT to play the game, but not like this. This is just depressing.

Same happened to me

This is still happening.

Same thine just happened to me. Finished the main quest in Zone moved on to Sylvan map, built new Cairin starter base, gothered lots of materials put in storage chest made a good run around the map. Decided to take a break watch tv eat dinner. 6 hours later log in to my Cairin location on Sylvan and everything has vanished. I have all my pack stuff and my points in crafting butt at this moment I feel like whats the point. Yes it is only a demo, played offline, but how do we get back to the point we were at. Right now too many hours wasted buiilding and gathering to go back to the beginning. Really enjoyed the game till now.

Same issue for me as well.

Same issue for me.

I had the same issue twice with two different characters. Today I completed all POI's, quests and side quests in Abeyance. Built a starter base. Last thing was to switch to the next realm (I forgot the name). I quit. Loaded back in a few hours later and everything I built - structures, storage (and contents), etc, were gone. I still had equipment and inventory and all my progress was saved. Just things I built were gone and the world was red again.

I have had a similar issue with the demo. I Played once for about 3 hours at which point the game crashed. Upon relaunch, all progress was lost and I was at the very start of the game. A second attempt for about 4 hours resulted in the same situation; game crashed and all progress lost.

I also had the experience, mentioned by others above, of quiting the game and coming back to an altered/default realm.

I will not attempt a third playthrough as it is too frustrating to lose all progress.

I can reproduce this issue in the demo.

Broadly speaking, it seems that the current state of the realm is not properly saved on exit and restores to default on load.

So I'm trying to like the game through the demo but, this being the major thing I'm facing (not able to build anywhere because everything will simply disappear when I leave) it's impossible. I'm really just pissed about this demo, and in this state, if the plan was to attract players it'll do exactly the opposite.

Side note.

With using same characters on full EA 0.7 account, issues are gone.

Launched Full EA 0.7 through STEAM.
Chose offline mode. Selected Character A from demo test.
built cairn, stick tent, a bedroll, and a cooking station. Used in game options to quit to "Main Menu"
Chose offline and again Character A "resume"
All built structures were there.

Quit to desktop and tested with Character B with same results.
Tested Character A with Changing Minor Realm card and it saved even after quitting to main menu.
