If you are playing online co-op and your buddy unloads an entire clip into a shrimp while you are getting robbed by pesky seagulls, the game is syncing all of this cartoon violence across multiple clients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">If your internet drops, or if you Alt+F4 out of rage after losing your dignity in the fish casino, the game might fail to write these complex variables to your <code style=\"background-color: #1f2937; padding: 2px 6px; border-radius: 3px; color: #fbbf24;\">PlayerState.sav<\/code> file properly.

First, your antivirus (like Windows Defender or Bitdefender) might be blocking the game from writing files to your AppData folder. You need to whitelist the game&#8217;s executable.
