If you click into them, do they have the right time? Are you downloading just the save file, or also the save metadata file? |
|
|
They do have the right time. Is the save metadata the ".savemet" file? I always wondered what that was. |
|
|
Yep, that's what it is. I'm guessing it is defaulting to 20 minutes when the metadata file is missing. |

It turns out that it was not defaulting to 20 min 0 sec. I looked in the files and Autosave.1200 was the only one with .savemet file. I then downloaded the .savemet for END OF GAME and now the other saves without a .savemet file show the 3hr time of END OF GAME. I believe that the lowest .savemet file in the actual File Explorer then affects any saves underneath it that don't have a .savemet file. I'm planning to test this by starting a new campaign and naming a save A. I will then move the save without the .savemet file into the Mantis Saves campaign and see what happens.

My hypothesis was correct. The lowest .savemet does affect any .save file below it that doesn't have a corresponding .savemet file. Any .save files above the top .savemet file that don't have a corresponding .savemet file default to a time of -1 in the Load Save screen. Proof in Screenshots.

It's worth noting that this scenario will never happen for the average player, only for people who have save games w/o the accompanying metadata file. Which is only crazy people who download saves off the internet, or developers ;-) |

I do realize that I was "investigating" something that is ultimately inconsequential, but I really wanted to know why this was acting the way it was. |
|
|
And that is much appreciated. :) |

|
If there isn't a savemeta file then the save game will show an inaccurate time in the Load screen |
|
|
This is a known limitation if you do not also have the savemeta file. If you load a save game, then resave it locally it will resolve this. |
