Doesn't Pitboss make an auto save whenever somebody logs in ?

Matrix · 30-03-2008, 16:22

Cool! Thanks, Niek!

IanDC, strangely enough it doesn't. At least not here. But I should be able not to forget to save it myself every turn.

Heres a more recent autosave from 700. So I dont have to play my turn again! Looks like Ynnek had the latest turn before the crash.

I haven't been able to run any games myself but as I understand it an autosave is taken every login but being an MP part of Civ it of course does it weird & saves them somewhere else. I've done a search & found the following suggestions/notes-

Yep, they're probably in this folder by default:
C:\Documents and Settings\<yourloginnamehere>\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Saves\multi\auto

2)Pitboss autosaves at the start of each person's login, and (with BtS) at the beginning of each turn. Do a filesearch for "recoverysave" on the pitboss server to find the folder (I generally send the folder to the desktop as a shortcut).

Ok, I loaded it, but you still haven't finished your turn there, KC...

Thank you too, IanDC. Apparently BtS does autosave, cos I've found the autosave exactly there. Warlords didn't autosave for some strange reason. I looked everywhere back then, but a recovery save file was nowhere to be found.

BCLG100 · 30-03-2008, 19:50

So does that mean there are autosaves now and we shouldnt save everytime we log in?

Matrix · 30-03-2008, 20:16

Well, if the turn is halfway you could save it, cos reloading from an autosave means starting at the beginning of the turn.

BCLG100 · 30-03-2008, 21:32

Yeah but BtS apparantly saves after each person logs in also.

Darkness · 31-03-2008, 09:43

OK, I'm back. Thanks for subbing, Stapel!

You're welcome Darkness. But in the end I only played 2 turns in 5 days
