About this game
Outbound is a cozy open world exploration game set in a utopian near future where you begin with an empty camper van and transform it into a mobile sanctuary. Using a modular building system you can craft workstations, power supplies and furniture, paint and decorate the vehicle, and grow gardens of plants and mushrooms that you can harvest and cook into healthy meals. Solar panels, wind turbines and water wheels provide renewable energy that powers your home and upgrades. The game invites solo play or online cooperative play with up to four friends, who can travel together across diverse biomes, discover iconic landmarks, and adopt a companion from the Paws & Whiskers Lodge to feed, pet and train. Build, explore, and live sustainably at your own pace in a colorful world.

Verify the integrity of game files to repair any missing or damaged game data.

Turn off Steam Cloud for Outbound temporarily, then test the save again, because cloud sync can sometimes reintroduce damaged save data.
If every save crashes, the problem is more likely a broader game or system issue than a single corrupted file. In that case, try updating your GPU drivers and operating system.

Wait before rejoining; do not immediately join session after the crash, wait a minute or more.
Backup your save files manually before rejoining risky sessions as a form of mitigation.
Disconnect unnecessary peripheral devices such as USB devices, cameras, or phones, as they may alter sound settings.
Verify that all volume and audio settings within the Outbound game menu are set to 100%.
If using headphones, try switching to speakers to determine if the audio issue is device-specific.
Select the correct audio device in system sound settings, then restart the game.
