Seriously read the comments before answering.
When I said loading past checkpoints I was referring to saves made in case of bugs.
Started a new game for this update means starting a game from the scratch for this update. I did not load any saves from previous version. I don't even have a save from previous versions.
I know most of the comments are of such kind but there can actually be some bugs in WIP game, acknowledge that.
If you are referring to McDonald case, afaik the judgement was passed against the McDonald so... Although I am not familiar with the case so if there is anything you would like to share that could be new to me, feel free to do so.
Also it depends how I got burned, was the cup defective, did it spill while handing over. Did it spill because of a wobbly chair/table that belonged to Starbucks. Many possibilities.
Edit: Just learned what you meant by this "They still warned dudes to not save anywhere aside 2 places" from the comment above this one which I am not sure is warned(could be and I missed) and I was not aware. Thanks for telling me that.
With "Save in the two known save places"
Omnikuken means the main town map and MCs bedroom. This is basic knowledge if you read frequently in the forum. Which not everybody can and does. I totally agree that the game is at fault not to hinder the user to save elesewhere. For this, and for the fact that the game is producing faulty saves, the dev is to be blamed and not the user.
Also, as I stated before in this forum, there are one or two situations at least that I can reproduce where the game *will* produce faulty saves also in the so-called safe places. If you happen to save at the wrong time during the wrong quest, your save *will* break in those situations. If you pass those without loading that faulty save, you are all good, but not if you don't. Easy as that.
It is also a problem to do rollback, which the game disables for a reason. Without any counter measures, a rollback accross internal status changes will also break your save, be it in a safe place or not.
Having said that, I can only recommend my own Naughty Tribute mod, which to my knowledge prevents saves from breaking and which can even repair broken saves. I don't know if you already abandoned your broken saves. If not, give that mod a try. If it cannot repair your save, I would really be interested to repair it myself, if possible.
Finally, you should be aware that the tech update does not necessarily mean that they will repair the save mechanism.
