Cannot delete incompatible savegames - Fix in a future build.

[Falcrack]

When I play a game with particular mods (such as VRO or other massive universe changing mods, like the XR ship pack and some Faction Enhancer mods) and save it, then I turn off these mods, when I go to load these games, the load button is greyed out because these saves are incompatible. Fair enough, I realize why they can't be loaded since the mods they were created with are missing. But the button to delete these games is also greyed out. Shouldn't we be able to delete these saved games, even if we cannot load them because the mod required to run them is missing?

You have effectively told the game to ignore those saves, so it does and for all purposes.

If you want to delete them, you can do so manually in the save directory.

This is quite clearly an issue and likely not intended, especially with a limited number of save slots. The user should not be expected to jump through hoops and manually delete save files from profile directories.

It is worth nothing that you ARE able to delete these incompatible saves from the SAVE menu (but not the LOAD one), which is not possible if your LIMITED 10 save slots are all full and incompatible.

Or I can bring this to the attention of the devs and hope they eventually fix it!

I worry every time I see one of these small & specific complaints about some aspect of the save system that there is no good place to centralize (at least out here in public view) a list of all the problems with the current save file management system. Don't get me wrong, I love small & specific! It's just that when eventually somebody takes the time to re-write the whole save file management area, I don't want any of them to get missed.

"Or I can bring this to the attention of the devs.." You did, you posted it here. I just gave you a workaround in the meantime in case you wanted them gone for some reason.

This will be possible in an upcoming version.

We just did rewrite this UI for 3.00. If you have any other issues with it, please let me know.

Hi, I'll send you an email. The work recently done is appreciated, and I in no way meant to minimize or disparage it. I'm sort of thinking in a whole different scope.
