| Summary | 0014963: Alt-F4 DOES save to Ironman | ||||
| Description | To test, simply start a new ironman game, finish the first battle however. Save and quit. Quickload and you'll be at whatever planet you chose to start at, as normal. Next, fly to any other planet, hit alt-f4. Restart the game and hit quickload (you ironman game should be the quickload from either the save and quit, or the alt-f4 save). You are at the planet you moved to (not the planet you started - and saved - at.) So, no more alt-f4 ironman cheat. :) You may update the patch notes appropriately. ;) Btw: same test with ctrl-alt-delete and end task (on win XP pro anyways) also saves to your ironman - which is a little scary to tell the truth... ;) That's a little more power than I think the OS should be giving any program, but there you have it... There are of course still other exploits you can use to get around this, but it's not going to be happening on accident. ;) | ||||

Awesome, thanks for testing that! I updated the notes with this: ** This also does work with Alt+F4 or Cmd+Q, and so on -- even using "End Task" from the task manager (which is supposed to shut down a program in an orderly fashion, by the way, so that's essentially the same as hitting the X on a program). However, if you use the processes tab task manager to "force quit" the game, that is something that insta-kills a program (aka "drop everything and die right now"), and of course that's not going to save anything. |
