Annihilated’s developer has confirmed two issues affecting the full version: a loading-screen problem that can stop the game from starting, and an abnormal weapon that can block progression when upgraded. A temporary workaround comes with a significant catch: previous save data will not carry over after using it.
The developer’s official known-issues notice on Steam says the loading-screen problem is under investigation. Affected players can remain stuck on that screen after launching the full version, preventing them from getting into the game.
The weapon issue can interrupt progress after play has begun. Players may obtain what the developer describes as an “abnormal weapon,” with upgrading it triggering the progression blocker. The cause of this particular problem has been identified, and the developer says a fix will be released soon.
An incompatibility between demo save data and the full version may be behind the confirmed issues, though that remains a possible cause rather than a settled explanation. For players weighing the temporary workaround, save continuity is the practical concern: it should not be treated as a progress-preserving solution. The developer is also working on a permanent fix for the confirmed problems.
