| Summary | 0001015: Info when saving games - invalid characters | ||||
| Description | It should either display what characters are acceptable in the save game name (the "/" character is not permitted it seems). It should also tell you when it isn't actually saving a game when you click save. I saved, quit, launched later and my save game was gone. Lost 4 minutes of gameplay only thankfully since my autosave is low, but still. Resaved without "/" and things were fine. | ||||

|
|
Easiest solution maybe to simply limit character entry in file name field to letters and numbers only. This may exclude few useful characters that can be actually used as file name but will solve any potential naming issues. |
|
|
This is, at its core, the same as 0000982. |
|
|
Just like to reply that it isn't the same as 0982 in that this does NOT bounce you back to the save screen, it acts like it actually saved and returns to the game. At least it did so in the instance I experienced. |
|
|
Ah, so it doesn't. It does, however, save your game; it just saves it in a different folder that you can't load the game from. If you go into the AI War folder and into the Save directory, you can see the new directory created there and the savegame inside that directory. Perhaps a feature for a future release; be able to transverse folders in the "load game" and "save game" dialogs? |

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. |
