App crash

By Mrfunk70, in Mansions of Madness

What if the app is crashing in the middle of the game? It happens, even on IOS. Beacuse the map will randomized, you can't just start it over. (Not to say, a MOM game is a time consuming beast.) Maybe FFG implement an auto-save or something.

From the screenshots we've seen, the app has a "Continue" option, so it sounds like you'll be able to pause your game and resume it at a later date. Hopefully the save file will update constantly as the game progresses.

Assuming it is anything like the app for D2e, it auto-saves at various key times during game play.

It would be nice if it allowed manually controlled saves, but that doesn't exist in the D2e app as of yet.

Yes, the Desent2 app saves at the beginning of each round of play, so I imagine this will do the same. There are still problems in descent when the app crashes near the end of the turn in which new monsters were introduced, and when you restart you have to get through the turn again with different monsters added by the app. Difficulty is to remember moves, health loss, etc in the now-irrelevant turn. It would be better if these apps also saved when a new feature (monster or room) is introduced so that crashes don't derail the game.
