Investigate disappearing save files
Opened this issue · 3 comments
Save games seem to disappear pretty often for workshop users.
I think i know whats going on. Or at least a lead.
The developer of Hunter Six explained the issue of disapearing saves in his mission file.
Story is that "Save & Exit" creates a special save file ("continue.ArmaSave") thats responsible for that last save showing up as "Resume". When you resume it loads the save and it gets automatically deleted.
When you now simply "End" the mission no Resume will show up.
Regarding to the dev theres a special issue with this and Workshop missions .
So maybe the Steam version saves arent gone?
My Steam version seems to save and resume at the very beginning of the mission after zones are generated. The same non-steam version loads the saves properly where saved. (Usually I always use a client host).
@CurePindal That is very interesting.
I wonder if it is the same when you are using the pbo off the releases page.
Thats what I meant with "non-steam version".. the github release version.
