My save/load system works perfectly under these conditions
-PIE
-Packaged Game (development configuration)
-Packaged Game (debug configuration)
It does not work in
-Packaged game (Shipping configuration)
In particular it does not load from the last save if the game was shut down using Alt F4 or any other force close method. It acts as if it can’t find the save game slot even though it exists in the directory and nothing was changed except the way the game was previously closed. This ONLY applies to shipping configuration builds. In Dev/Debug builds it works fine and I can AltF4 at any time and continue from the last save game when I start the game again.
I have tried using the “Shutdown” and “Endplay” events but they do not work even though I make them call the exact same savegame function that the exit button does.
