Hi guys, Vanguard here.

We're currently looking at some slight changes (notably the background) in the 2.2 beta and we're hoping that this will improve the ability to see if you're about to delete your save in VR.

As you never ever want to delete your save accidentally, would you lovely people mind checking out the 2.2 beta and giving us your feedback? Is deleting your save accidentally in VR still too easy?

Thanks!

As an idea, I find it counte-rproductive to have this in your game on the menu when it usually is used in a LAST RESORT rescue of the game either becoming too hard to get a good Start due to position OR too advanced in Combat without skill and need a rest.
I suggest you have this as a file in the directory to manually delete instead OR in a sub-system buried within the Startup Menu.
This is quite OBVIOUS.

Umm.. how are we supposed to test this? Try and delete our accounts and report here did we succeed? :D

Without being ingame, i suppose you have implemented some kind of double confirming for deleting the save so it cannot be deleted accidentally by just one click?

I'm pretty sure he's talking about our beta accounts, not our main accounts. ;)
Your beta account gets wiped at the end of the beta anyways so resetting your beta account doesn't really do any harm.

I'll get right on it. Who do I have to provide my mailing address to so you can send me an Occulus Rift and suitable nVidia 1080 card that I would need to use VR?

You shouldn't need to wipe your save, however if you head into the Options menu while in VR it would be useful if it's clear to you whether or not you're about to delete your save.

If you think you might have stumbled onto that option when fiddling with other options and then accidentally confirmed it too then it's still something we need to look at improving :)

An unlock check box that lets you use the delete save button on the other side of the screen would be the easiest way to program it I would think.

How about needing to re-enter your password before deleting? or maybe just "Code zero zero zero. Destruct. Zero." :)

The fact that they are giving this attention lets me know I'm not the only CMDR to delete my save on accident. Luckily you guys were able to restore for me so i didnt loose 200+ hours and 50+ million. The only time I think it becomes an issue is when VR isnt setup properly. My headset was out of sync and i was trying to get into settings when I wiped mine. Moving the option outside of the game itself to the launch menu, or giving a way to reset all settings from the launch menu would be a good way to help prevent this.
