Autosave doesn't work at the start of each round

By arcana10, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

When I am in the middle of a quest and go to the home screen on my Android phone, then reopen RTL, the app resets to the title screen. When I reload my save file, it starts at the beginning of the quest, instead of having saved at the start of each round.

Also, the screen dims after a minute, then turns off after another minute. There are no options to control this within the app, and I can't find any settings to disable the screen timer for individual apps on my device either.

I have the same issues when playing the Battlelore app too, but all other games I play on my phone don't have these problems (like Elder Sign and other non-FFG games).

Has anyone else had these problems? Is this a bug or is this a problem with my phone?

Since you're using an android device, you can set your screen timeout under settings>display. This is not app specific.

I do not recall it ever saying there was a "save every round" feature. I'm a bit surprised that it returns to the main menu. Mine does not do that (I can resume a quest) if I have returned to the home screen, but not if I have closed the app (in task manager).

Ah, I missed that in the rulebook.
