Derrick Firing After Loading a Save
Unexpected Derrick firing after loading a saved game is listed as fixed in 1.0.1.

A recurrence on an updated save is a new report to document, not proof that every saved game is broken or that a save must be deleted.

What to record if it still happens
For derrick firing after loading a save, keep the observation narrow: the installed version, affected object, state before the action and result afterward. A screenshot can establish a displayed requirement; a short clip is better for a routing or timing problem. Separate what you saw from what you think caused it. The checks above organize a report and do not claim to repair a save.
Walkthrough
- 01
Confirm the starting point
Confirm the game has downloaded the patch before loading the affected save.
- 02
Check the relevant condition
Record the Derrick’s state before saving and immediately after loading.
- 03
Make the comparison
If the symptom persists, capture a short before/after clip and the game version.
- 04
Verify the outcome
Report that evidence through Steam; do not delete working saves as an unverified workaround.
Read the system before acting
| Situation | Meaning | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| After load | Unexpected firing fixed | Compare pre-save and post-load states |
| Older build | Patch behavior may be absent | Update before reproducing |
| Current build, same symptom | A recurrence needs new evidence | Record version and a focused clip |
| Unknown numerical value | The announcement gives no coefficient | Use measured inputs, not guessed constants |
Common mistakes
