How to quit and save make Just Cause 3 resume last checkpoint next startup?

I've been fiddling now for 5 hours trying to get this to work.

Tried all variations, being only offline or online.

Installed from disk and it also made 5G or so online update, so total about 47G.

I play until I see there are checkpoints saved and also made resume last checkpoint to see that it is saved, and it comes back to the same spot where I was.

I did like parachute landing and saved.

Tried further to get to Mario, and also one step further fighting with rebells.

Every start is starting from the very start as new game.

Is any kind of quit via menu button on main tile ok?

I don't understand this at all - there are not quit and save or so from game.

JC2 on 360 was never any problems, and still isn't.

Thanks.

:)

 

I have the Halo LASO checkpoints if you need them

I have Halo CE, 2, 3, and 4 LASO playlist checkpoints if anyone needs them. It means you join my game and I hit resume then save/quit and you will be on last level of Halo CE and Halo 2 LASO playlist, as well as get achiement for completing Halo 3 and 4 LASO.

Some consider these the hardest achievements in the game.

Had enough - thanks for ruining an otherwise perfect game...(SPOILERS)

Has anyone figured out if there's a difference between resume from last save as opposed to resume from end of story? I've experimented with these a little and always seem to resume from the same spot no matter which I choose..

From what I have noticed the second option loads you back to as close as it can if your checkpoint save is not there anymore.

I was on a later chapter ( I think 8 or 9) and forgot some artifacts and side missions from the early game. I saved/quit and loaded up chapter 4. After I did everything I needed I saved/quit which put my save point in chapter 4 now. So i choose the second option
and now I was back in chapter 8 (but not really near where I was with my checkpoint)

 

Hey BookishFlunky90! When the game loads in the same place, does it remember the activities you've completed or the locations you've discovered? Post back and let me know!

 

Hi and thank you for your assistance.

Yes, some progress like chaos and kills etc are accumulated - but not positions.

There are several checkpoint saves that don't bump you up to that point next time you start JC3.

So you redo even places where there were videoclips in between, which I don't remember ever saw in a game before. Videoclips usually means some level of a mission is accomplished.

And I compare mostly to JC2, playing that on 360 now as well.

So from start you are on airplace, first save is when you parachute into a canyon, next save when reaching mario and then a video clip explaining next step. But quiting JC3 and starting again you are on ariplane and have to do those again - if happend to
take a longer break playing.

It could be as designed, not sure?

But googling on it, and also getting confirmed many have had this as of dec 2015, after spending 8 hours and more on a session and loosing that - I felt I have to investigate. You really hate that if something is broken when you invested so many hours into
it.

I also saw comments from people confirming that do start as expected next time, so again thinking it might be something wrong.

It was so well made in JC2, you even had 10 save slots from your own liking etc. I at least started playing about 150 games, and never had issue with it.

So if somebody can confirm either way - it's really long to get bumped up on first missions, not redoing that again - or it restart promptly with Restart from last checkpoint?

Many games have like shorter repeat sequence when you fail at a certain point, you just redo last 30 seconds or so. But these are checkpoint saves that do not bump you up passed that next time you start.

Been in contact with square-enix about it too, and they did not tell me otherwise, that this would be as designed, but wanted me to reset console and profile stuff. I created a new profile but same thing.

 

It seems that JC3 is designed this way - you have to do the full first mission in one go - no checkpoints to continue from if quitting on a checkpoint.

What a stunt to pull on gamers at first mission, which is not even stated either what the mission is.

It's more like a prologue.

JC2 is much better in this sense - you never had to worry how far you will be bumped back when quitting.
