Summary	0000982: ? in savegame name causes non-fatal error message
Description	If the user places a "?" character in a savegame name, then clicks "Save", AI War replies with an error message, then returns to the savegame screen. The program handles the invalid input without crashing, but does not educate the user about the reason for the failure; enough other games permit special characters that it's worth explaining that this is a filesystem limitation and listing the filesystem's illegal characters. Attempts to screenshot the error message failed. No crash data was placed in \RuntimeData
Tags	No tags attached.

Chris_McElligottPark Dec 21, 2010 4:20 pm administrator ~0006694	Thanks! * Filenames for savegames are now fully validated, avoiding characters that are not allowed, filenames that are not allowed on windows (CON, LPT1, etc), and things like directory path separators that would cause the file to get saved into a subdirectory by accident.
