Kingdom Come: Deliverance Got a Save Overhaul in its Latest Patch

Kingdom Come: Deliverance has been pretty buggy since launch, but the game's new patch, version 1.3.1, is designed to bring several substantial changes to the game.

One of the many changes is the promised overhaul of the game's save system, so players can choose to save and exit any time, and therefore mark their progress wherever they are rather than find a bed or drink a potion. Saves will not be corrupted if the game crashes while saving, either, meaning you don't need to go back and re-do all of your progress should a bug crash the game on you. Additionally, the PC version of Kingdom Come now supports the Steam Cloud, so you can take your save game file across multiple PCs.

The ability to save on the fly is one of modern gaming's best inventions, as pretty much anyone who has played a game since 2003 will tell you.

The patch also comes  with a number of bug fixes and performance updates.

You can check out the full patch notes below:

• The game now has Save and Exit feature.
• Saving is much more robust and saves won't get corrupted even if the game crashes while saving.
