Saving Failed - 3.1

[nightjar56]

Hi,

Since installing 3.1 patch, every time I save I get betty saying 'Saving Failed' and, funnily enough, no save game is created.

My games are numbered X01.sav - X08.sav (just restarted in 3.0) and there are no autosaves. I also have an X99.sav.

Help please.

Thanks

tim

Could you also check that a programme is not getting in the way, anti-virus or similar.

It is the X99.sav that is probably the problem. That backup save has to be renamed and overwritten in order to save a 'proper' gamesave. If it is corrupt for any reason then the game cannot overwrite it.

Try to rename X99.sav to something else and then try again. If you are successful then you can delete the renamed save (if you can).

If you have no autosaves at all then are you sure the 'save on station docking' option is on?

Thanks Alan. I deleted X99.sav (presumably this is a 'temp' file). All working again. As I said, it was fine from initial release, through all updates and then stopped when I installed 3.1.

Onward!
