Atomfall features an autosave system that saves progress at specific intervals, allowing you to resume from the last save point if you die.

By default, the game autosaves every three minutes, but you can adjust this setting. Here’s how:

Launch the game.
Go to the Options menu.
Under the Game section, find Autosave Frequency.
There are nine available options: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.

Since the audio bug is believed to be linked to the autosave feature, increasing the autosave interval to 10 minutes or more may help. After changing it, restart the game.
