Hi,
I was just wondering something. when you save the game , it only saves from the very start of the turn you saved on?
So if something goes wrong at the start of the next turn (like losing a battle) and you load up the previous turn that you’ve just saved - you’ll have to repeat everything you did on that turn all over again.
Can the game not save everything right up to the moment of the save?
Thanks

No, it should save everything you did during that turn right up to the point you actually saved the game.

Re: Saving the Game
Nope, NayThanLok is right, any action you take is lost if you retire/exit before saving.
Not sure why Mike made it this way, I think he explained it (some 10+ years ago), but I can't recall.

Re: Saving the Game
Before saving? Even if you save before retire/exit, the actions are lost. It only remembers the start of the saved turn, regardless of when you try to save the game.
NayThanLok, I feel your pain.. everyone does. Especially in late game.

Re: Saving the Game
So, I have encountered a problem I can't save my game past turn 169 apparently the save file is too large to load here and that seems to be the problem on my end as well any suggestions or workarounds.

Re: Saving the Game
Talking of Saving the game, is it possible to have the game Save to Individual User folders i.e.
Preferably using system variables, rather than a hard coded path (I use Redirected Folders at home, there's nothing weird about that! ).
Rather than in the Install Folder\Saved Games? As I have other users who play the game on my PC and don't want accidental deletes, overwrites, continuations etc.%username%\My Documents\My Games\Star Trek - Supremacy\Saved Games

Re: Saving the Game
In short, issue is with the name and location of what you are suggesting, considering, os's this game supports
Just an idea, but, there is nothing preventing you from having your own copy of game in that very place

Re: Saving the Game
That's how it used to be, many moons ago, but I changed it to make it easier for people to share their savegames, for bug fixing purposes.TempestWales wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2023 11:26 am Talking of Saving the game, is it possible to have the game Save to Individual User folders i.e.Rather than in the Install Folder\Saved Games?

Eventually, it might be changed back, for the 1.0 release.
(though I do like having all files in the same location, strangely enough)
