Saved Games Not Working.

from Stardock Forums
I tried both to restore last civilization from drengin.net with the Alpha 4 and then to go to a saved game and both recycled me back to the main drengin.net screen from which one launches the game. Is the save feature not actually activated?

Just for comparison, mine is working fine. I completely cleaned out GalCiv before tryine, however, because
I noticed the download of Alpha 4 failed to replace my tech and ship files, which I had modified to allow
me to test for some specific problems on Alpha 3.

Cheers,
Jack

You should be able to load or start a new game when you don't currently have a game running. Something that we did last week disrupted the ability to start a new game or load a saved game from within a game. I'm still tracking it down.

Nevermind, I just fixed it.

I'll see if we have time to include it in the update...

I can now save games. However, when saving a game that I have resumed, I don't seem to get the option to save it under a new name. Is that deliberate in this Alpha?

At the moment only one save file is being provided named "test" for when you tell galciv to save and one called "autosave"
for galciv's own autosaving of games. We were told that named saves will come later.

Yeah, the ability to name your saved games will come later when we have a chance to do the screen and the associated work. In the meantime, if you don't want to overwrite your saved games, rename the folder and the game will create a new one the next time it autosaves or you save a new game. This is useful for sending me saved games to help me reproduce odd bugs.
