| Summary | 0004246: Game is not saving when asked to | ||||
| Description | I play via "LazyNewbPack[0.31.21][V8.4]" but it's the same problem if i'm starting "Dwarf Fortress.exe" directly. The game is set to save automatic at season change and this is working fine, but if i try to save via the game menu it's reacting as if it's saving and jumps to the main menu but no files are saved. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | It'd the same every time. | ||||
| Additional Information | I have tied to place the game folder in different locations and on different hard drives with no result . | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Are you sure the files aren't being saved? Dwarf Fortress uses a roguelike system for saving via the menu. It's easier to explain with an example. If you load the save Region1-Winter, play for a while, and then save it, Dwarf Fortress over-writes the old save Region1-Winter with the current data. (It then takes you back to the main menu) Thus it doesn't look like any new data has been saved, but it actually has been. Does this explain your behaviour? |
