Hi, i would like to know if there is another way to load an anterior save than "checkpoint" ?
I'm at the "beginning", went to the wedding, there was 2 options : - send your men to chase the bandit or - rally your escort and go
Apparently it is not "send your army do the job" or "do it yourself with some men", so my choice led to my troops and i leaving the wedding which wasn't what i wanted to do.

Apparently the checkpoint option, which logically would take you before your choice to redo them, just, well don't......

In the menu, loading a game, "go back to", there is this "checkpoint" and a very old save.

Cordially.

(My game isn't in english, so there might be some wrong translations)

EDIT :
Nevermind !
I tried to see where the old save would bring me.
Completely delete my previous save AND rewrite the checkpoint..
My gods the save system on this game is bad.

EDIT 2:
Restarting the game once again ! Seriously after each event and every 5 min, i did "save and go back to the main menu", and AGAIN ! i did a choice i wasn't sure about, left the game mid conversation with alt+f4 and still the game succeded in saving AFTER the talk, and the other save brought me back to the beginning !
I even copied the folder D:\GOG Galaxy\Games\!Downloads\thronebreaker_the_witcher_tales\!Cloud Sync Backup before doing it, and even after replacing the files, i'm still back at the beginning........
Why can't we have simple auto save, mutliple save.... Or at least a system that works, like, why the heck the first save which is literally START A GAME, can't be overwriten ?

Had the exact same issue. But wasn't far in, so restarted the game (for the wedding stuff).

Got to near the end of act 2, for a big boss fight the options are terrible again. Decided not to force a perfectly reasonable request and... boss skipped / important person and/or item lost

Pressed "go back to", reset to the very first step of Act 1.

Utterly dreadful. I can see you don't want people saving at whim (err why?). But giving poorly worded options then taking unreasonable actions is horrific game design. Then combo it with the garbage save system...
The saves are in the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\CDProjektRED\Thronebreaker\SaveData folder. To make a backup, it's probably best to simply copy that folder.
(I don't use Galaxy, you might need to disable cloudsaves if you do).

And yeah, CDPR please add manual saves.
Same issue, at the end of act 2, when i saw the overall stats about the mission, i understood that i miss somewhere one golden chest, and also the thing is, as i've got it, that if you won't insist the travelling knight to join you, you will miss the battle and that exactly chest. So, as the others, i've tried to load the previous save, and... you know the end of the story. I'm in the most begining of the game, with no desire to continue playing the game, thanks to game designers for great work."SARCASM"
The fact that poorly worded dialogue options lock you out of side quests along with the auto-save system has put me in a position where I feel like to properly experience the story I would need to restart basically from scratch a third fucking time. I am done with this game, and will tell anyone who will listen to avoid it.
Yeah, quicksave or something would be nice, the fact that I have to "save" and exit the game is really irritating.
