What constitutes a "save"?

simrah last edited by

Overwatch 2 now tracks a stat called "players saved", with a notification when you save someone (or when you get saved by someone else). However, with some exceptions, it's not entirely clear what constitutes a "save". The obvious examples are abilities that grant immortality or immunity, but from what I've observed it seems to be more complicated than that. How do you earn a save in Overwatch 2?

I’ve been wondering too and I think I have figured it out.

Hypothetically, let's say someone is at 20 HP and you heal them back to 60 and in the next few seconds they take 20 damage, they would have been dead. So a "save" is basically if you heal them just before they would have died.

Follow the steps from Nintendo's helpful topic: What to Do: 1.Ensure the SD Card inserted into your system has the downloadable version of the software installed. 2.Connect to the Nintendo eShop and download the "Save Data Transfer Tool." [How to] 3.Insert the retail version of the software into system. 4.From the HOME Menu, select the "Save Data Transfer Tool." 5.Read the on-screen instructions carefully, and tap the transfer button when ready to transfer save data. ◦Do not turn the power OFF or remove the Game Card during the save data transfer process. This can cause the save data to become corrupt or lost. If the save data is lost during the transfer process, it cannot be recovered. Be aware that it doesn't copy the data: •The Save Data Transfer Tool is used to transfer save data; it does not copy save data. Once transferred, the original save data is deleted.

You were very close. You saw that the title command required double escapement of the special characters. In your case, you tried \\". A quote which is single escaped is \". To double escape it, you have to escape both characters which gives \\\" Here is a working command with the changes: /give @p sign 1 0 {BlockEntityTag:{Text1:"{\"text\":\"---------------\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"run_command\",\"value\":\"tp @s 0 66 13\"}}",Text2:"{\"text\":\"Right click once\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"run_command\",\"value\":\"playsound entity.player.levelup master @s ~ ~ ~ 10 1\"}}",Text3:"{\"text\":\"accepted!\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"run_command\",\"value\":\"/title @s title {\\\"text\\\":\\\"Welcome to the Server!\\\", \\\"bold\\\":true, \\\"italic\\\":false, \\\"color\\\":\\\"green\\\"}\"}}",Text4:"{\"text\":\"---------------\"}"},display:{Name:"Custom Sign"}}

It's probably too late for that character, but for future readers: if you get stuck like this, you can start Dredmor in debug mode and then use the p and P keys to teleport up and down dungeon levels. Teleport up, then restart Dredmor in normal mode and there you go.

Minecraft saves all of your block placements, inventory status, player placement, and all other level data when you pause or close the game. The only time it might not properly save is when the game crashes and closes forcibly. Some of your work might not get saved, and there may be some discrepancies in your inventory items.

The issue has been resolved on it's own. Looks like some delay on the battle.net part. Just had to wait, even restarting the launcher was not necessary.

Yes, your saves should be good. If a game supports the Steam Cloud, your saves will be automatically synced between your PCs (source Steam Family Library Sharing allows family members and their guests to play one another's games while earning their own Steam achievements and saving their own game progress to the Steam Cloud. You just need to make sure that you enabled the Steam Cloud in settings: And you can check if a game uses the Steam Cloud on it's store page or right in your library: If a game doesn't support cloud saves, you need to figure out how your saves are stored and move them manually (using a flash drive for example). And finally, you don't necessary need to purchase those games. You can ask your brother to authorize your PC to use Family Sharing. Basically he needs to login into Steam on your machine once and allow your account to access his games. There are some limitations, for example, you won't be able to play the same game simultaneously.

Did someone destroy it? Yes. If enemy founds your translocator and if they know how it works, they will destroy it. You will be notified if it gets destroyed (I'd provide screenshot if I got one at sometime.). Or perhaps you might have hit destroy button (Defaulted to F on PC, idk about consoles).

MIT stands for https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/patch-notes/beta/2022/06 . Blizzard's patch notes specifically mention Ana's Nano Boost as one ability that contributes to this stat.

Answer from the OP (originally posted in the question): I found the solution for error code 006–0112; I think it's because I had the gifts and Pokémon link in the game. I collected the gift and now I can use the bank properly, I can save again.

Yes, but not easily. I'll assume your Minecraft name is "NoCanDo" for convenience. You can copy the NoCanDo.dat file from the players folder inside a save to another save. This file stores all your inventory, experience, etc. You also need to copy all of the 'Level.dat' files, found in the world save. That's the easy part. The problem is that it also stores your location and respawn (bed) location, which may be underground or a hundred blocks in the air in the world you just copied it into, and will likely result in immediate death if it's just copied straight across. You can fix that by hand, and this is where the "not easily" part comes in. Using a tool like NBTExplorer you can open a save and view the contents of a player's .dat file and modify the data directly. Once you've copied the .dat over, open the destination save in NBTExplorer and navigate to [savename]/players/NoCanDo.dat/Pos and set the three numbers under Pos to a safe location in your new world. I ususally choose the spawn point, since that's reliably safe and I can find the exact coordinates with NBTExplorer inside the level.dat of the save. The numbers under Pos aren't labeled, so remember that they go in X, Y, Z order from top to bottom. You can similarly change your respawn location by editing the SpawnX, SpawnY, and SpawnZ entries in a players .dat file, or you can skip that fiddling and just sleep in a bed as soon as you can. As always, make backups!

As odd as this sounds, there is no one daily reset. It appears to reset every 20 hours, but at different times for each person I've talked to. Best guess is that the reset is based on the time of your first login to the game, although it may be the first login each week instead (weekly reset is Tuesday).

It does it automatically. I have not yet dealt with the connection drops on my ISP’s end, but I was disconnected several times from the server, and when I returned, I hadn’t miss a beat. One time it actually gave me the message that the game was saved locally, and would be synchronized once it is connected again. This feature removes headache of saving (or neglecting to do so), but removes the ability of save/load trial and error, forcing you to think before you plot.

All content for Steam is saved either on your hard drive or in the Steam Cloud. Either way, your content will be available after the DLCs are bought. If the Anthology is offered Via steam then there will be no issue. As far as I know, Skyrim is steam only. In the case that it isnt, you can always navigate to your savefile and copy it
