That’s according to developer FromSoftware, which confirmed yesterday that it was looking into an issue that was affecting PC saves ofArmored Core 6.

While the team didn’t detail what the issue specifically was or when it hopes to fix it, it did recommend that as a precautionary measure, players should avoid leaving the game open when putting their PCs to sleep otherwise, “save data is not saved properly”.

“In the PC version of ‘Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon’, there is a problem that save data is not saved properly under certain circumstances,” the studio said in a statement uploaded to its Japanese-language player support X/Twitter account.

“We are currently investigating the cause, but please end the game before putting your PC to sleep,” explains the team, as translated by my very rusty GCSE Japanese and not inconsiderate help fromGoogleTranslate. “We apologize for any inconvenience caused to our customers.”

At the time of writing, there’s no word on when the issue may be resolved.

Not sure ifArmored Core 6is for you? We gave the mechtasticArmored Core 6three out of five stars, praising its responsive and satisfying combat, deep mech customization, and exciting and varied missions. However, ourArmored Core 6reviewsays the mech game falls short with unsatisfying set piece boss encounters and the “jarring inclusion of soulsborne mechanics”.

“Armored Core 6: Fire of Rubiconoffers slick and well-polished mech battling fundamentals, diluted by the inclusion of ill-fitting soulsborne mechanics that don’t compliment the mech pilot fantasy,” we wrote in the review.

“Though there’s much to enjoy for fans of the series, newcomers will be met with a lopsided experience that doesn’t quite capture the full potential of theArmored Coreseries.”
