dtimeout Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Is there any way I could trigger the game to delete my save on death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StinVec Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Not that I am aware of as being possible in the way you are likely wanting (inability to continue/re-spawn from the death screen and to instead be forced back to the main menu, as well as the game automatically deleting that save game without any input or actions from you). The only way that I can think to simulate permadeath in Dying Light is to restrict yourself to choosing not to continue a game upon dying, but to instead hit ESC and exit to the main menu. You can then perform the deletion on that save game right before starting a new save game on that same screen. You would be going to that screen to start a new game anyway, so it would only take an extra ~second to delete that game prior to starting a new one. Even if Techland were to implement a permadeath option on a save game, or as an aspect of difficulty level, the save game would likely still continue to exist even if you die and would simply be marked out in your save game list with a skull instead of being straight out auto-deleted by the game when you die. You would still need to manually delete that dead game anyway to remove it from your save game list. All alternative methods would still require additional actions to be performed by you in order to delete the save game.e.g. A batch file that can be executed that would delete the save game file when run, but you would need to exit the game in order to perform this. There are also several ways of varying amounts of effort to cause a save game to become unusable if the temptation to continue a 'dead' game is too strong for you to resist. However, any of them would still leave you with having to delete the save (batch file, manually or in-game menu) in order to remove it.
