===Save game backups===
−
When the game saves, it automatically creates a back up of your previous saved game. In your save game data folder you'll find a series of back up saved game files. They're all named something like this: <code>save_1392059033</code>. The numbers are a time stamp of when the particular file was created. If for some reason your save file gets corrupted, you can replace your save file with one of the back ups to attempt to restore it.

When the game saves, it automatically creates a backup of the previous saved game, ending up with files titled like: <code>save_1392059033</code>. The numbers are a timestamp of when the particular file was created. The latest file is titled merely <code>save</code>; rename older save files to this to load them instead.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://offspringfling.com/ReadmeOnline.html#backup|title=Offspring Fling Manual|date=May 2023}}</ref>

−
To restore a saved game using one of the back ups, first make sure that the game is not currently running. You can then rename your current "save" file to something else. Then take one of your back ups (one of the <code>save_13390510972</code> files) and rename that to "save" When you launch the game it should now load from your back up that was renamed to "save".<ref>[http://offspringfling.com/ReadmeOnline.html#backup Offspring Fling Manual]</ref>

Issues fixed

Game crashes (Windows)

In rare cases, the Windows version might crash because of controller support issues and may need to be disabled.[2]
Disable controller in controller.cfg[2]
  1. Go to %APPDATA%\offspringfling\Local Store
  2. Edit controller.cfg
  3. Change enableController=1 to enableController=0 and save the changes.
Enable compatibility mode[2]

If experiencing a crash in Windows 8, set the executable to Windows 7 compatibility mode.

Game launches with a black screen

If the game launches with a black screen, it should detect controller failure and disable it. Relaunch the game.[2]
If the black screen persists, disable controller support manually (see Game crashes (Windows)).
