maybe it has something to do with the name of the game directory?

after the game updated to full the folder is still labeled C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ion Maiden

It won't let me change it without throwing a fit.
I'm about to uninstall - re-install because I can't get past the fourth area and properly save.

Been an enlightening experience.
I've mentioned this issue a few times since the 24th and the devs have nothing to say.
Not expecting a magic wand, but a, "try this, or try that" would have been comforting.

To those that actually did offer advice, thank you for at least making suggestions.

(*disclaimer - the steam version was a gift, the drm-free version is what i actually purchased from 3dr, so maybe I should install it and just stick with that)

It's more that we don't have any good answers for this behavior. It's another case of "worksforme" but that doesn't help anyone
I would just try reinstalling it outright, remove the whole folder manually, try changing steam download region, nuke the related files in %appdata%.

Folder should definitely be Ion Fury.

I had the preview campaign installed when the full game came out and my game directory stayed "Ion Maiden" too. Since then I reinstalled so that it would be "Ion Fury" but it was only to be cautious and I have experienced no issues with saves.

Only other mention of him in game I could find was this small picture from locker.

There is also another painting with a Masticon face on it.

I have the game saves being sent to the steam cloud. I could replicate my issue by deleting the saves off the hard drive, then launching the game. The residual saves from the steam cloud behaved exactly like what my problem with data loss is doing.
The data on the hard drive and the data on the cloud keep falling out of sync after so much time and/or data is reached.
The options are to turn off syncing, or uninstall the game & reinstall it so it has the appropriate folder name.
The latter choice would probably serve my best interests in the long run.
I'm not hurting for hard drive space, so I can do both, if necessary.

side note: the User %Appdata% Roaming folder. I had two. One for the preview campaign, which retained the Ion Maiden name, & a new one named Ion Fury that was created when the game updated to full.
(it was using the Ion Fury designated one - that's where all the saves & screenshots went)

edit 2: Uninstalled & re-installed. Results initially look promising. After scrubbing everything off the hard drive, the cloud still retained all the save data and repopulated my User folder.

Question for the Ion Fury devs:

What's next for Ion Fury, then? Multi-player?

[Wild Dog]

So today i was playing Hazard Disposal the second part, when i was to able. The game prompt told me that i was missing 8 secrets in this area. So i did a back track to parting procedure, but instead of using the elevator, i used the original entry point to that map. To my surprise all the enemies and levers were reseted, i tried to went back to hazard disposal and they were reseted too.
Is this a known bug?

[Zaxx]

The same thing happened to me there so guess it is a known bug if it's that frequent.

[gemeaux333]

And what about the broken secret in the last chapter (before Heskel's Hideout) ?

It's in the same map, where the reset bug happened.

[DisgustedGrunt]

Just a suggestion but, at the end game screen, the one that shows the total percentage of secrets and kills for that playthrough, could the total time be added there?, i know the game already saves the time between map loads in a chapter and shows it at the end of it, so it may be possible?.

[Truck Stop Santa Claus]

that sounds like a good idea

[gemeaux333]

And what about adding a bestiary to the game (name, picture, description for each foe) ?

[DisgustedGrunt]

Also, is the User Map option going to be added?.

We (testers and I) tested 100% completion before release for this zone, but this slipped in I think due to a last minute code bug. The invisible switch was on the same placement as the sign, against the wall; but in-game in v1.00 ended up being moved outside the map's boundaries despite always working as intended before. I "fixed" this for the upcoming v1.01 by moving the invisible switch 1 unit away from the wall.

How is this supposed to work btw?

In both of my playthroughs it took around 20 tries to get in there and I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing wrong.

I was initially having issue with this as well. But I eventually got the hang of it. What u have to do is get on top of the fan as soon as u power the generator (do not wait for the fan to reach top speed).
Stay on the fan till u reach peak height (or near peak height), then try to cross the window. You were trying to move towards the window too quickly.

Just recently I had the time to start playing the game, and omg it's wonderful, it has a flawless progression that forces you to play strategically without rushing through levels, the only two things that bothers me a bit are those fucking drones and the annoying spiders, well I think every game has that annoying enemy everyone hates.

[gemeaux333]

Et au fait MetHy, je ne sais pas si tu es impliqué dans la traduction française du jeu... est-ce que ce serait possible de l'être (gratuitement ça va sans dire) ?

this began happening after an update and all my save files reset my stats to zero & started at the beginning of the level instead of where I saved

On steam there is an option where you can disable all the automatic updates for a single game.
Or take the game out of the steam folder and then use eduke32 to launch the game.

Yesterday I finished the game and it was awesome. I've been taking my sweet time with it since release and found 56% of all the secrets. I am waiting for the patch to release so I can give it another run on ultra viscera.
One question though, I've read that the 60 dollars big box will contain a 60 page making-of booklet. Last year I've purchased the founders edition and I am wondering if that will also include the booklet? It would be nice to complete the collection.
Nevertheless, thanks for this kick ass game and I hope we will see more content in the near future.

I used leoD's eduke32 to play ion fury, and right when heskel died, the game crashed with error msg too many sprite spawns. This is only on Wonton carnage, looks like the sprite limit needs to be increased.

It sounds like it's a good idea to wait a few months first before playing Ion Maiden, with the bugs that people are reporting.

the founders edition doesn't have the book

Whoever added the references to Big Bill Hell's and Hardware, I love you. I truly, passionately, deeply love you.

You even made my girlfriend squeal when I showed her the Hardware bit. Hey buddy, only I'm allowed to do that.

[Radar]

Jimmy will tolerate it once but y'all are gonna get him mad if you make his girlfriend squeal again.

[DavoX]

Hdoom Wanted the hardware helmet. When we couldn't find a place to put it I decided to make the apartment it's probably the last room made for the game. IIRC.

Hdoom
Hardware helmet?

You're making me nervous
