'''Did you recently update Vintage Story?''' | |||
Vintage Story releases new updates several times each year. Normally updates add new features and fix older bugs, but very occasionally something breaks in the process. You could try asking other players on Discord, or if all else fails, try re-installing a previous version of Vintage Story which was stable. If you are playing with mods and you update Vintage Story without also updating the mods, some of the mods may have issues: see the next question! | |||

We encourage modding Vintage Story. But using 3rd-party mods may possibly cause issues with the game, especially if not updated for the current Vintage Story game version you are playing. Checking that mods aren't the source of the problem is a good place to start | We encourage modding Vintage Story. But using 3rd-party mods may possibly cause issues with the game, especially if not updated for the current Vintage Story game version you are playing. Checking that mods aren't the source of the problem is a good place to start. See if an update for the mod is available, generally you should use the latest version. Check the Mod DB comments and forum page for the mod, or talk to other players using the mod. If disabling mods, you should keep the Vintage Story "vanilla" mods enabled, that's Creative, Essentials and Survival! | ||

The game will crash if you run out of disk space during a save, and likely also corrupt your savegame. A Vintage Story savegame varies in size depending on how much of the map you have explored, it could be a few GB in size.<br>''If you update game versions, and the 'remapping' dialog pops up asking if you want to make a backup (backup enabled by default), make sure you have plenty of disk space for the backup, the backup process will also need space on the hard drive where your Temp files folder is located.'' | The game will crash if you run out of disk space during a save, and likely also corrupt your savegame.
