Default Re: SE4Gold game save bug?

Yes, you are correct, they are log text files and combat replay files, but they are superfluous -- that is, they are IN ADDITION to the "normal ones" generated. I had the "Log.." settings set to 'FALSE' *already* in Data\Settings.txt. Combat replay generation is left enabled (needed for multiplayer, I believe).

Current game is a sequential game, solo against AI (currently 8 opponents). Current gamedate is 2421.6. Autosave is disabled for this game.

With the savegame directory *empty* I save the game, selecting 'v10' as the game name. After about 3-4 minutes of disk activity (I didn't time it) here is the savegame directory (abbreviated, sorry 'bout wrapping but can't control with your form):

You get the idea. I should only have a few files generated: v10.gam, v10_current_replay_combat.cmb, and a couple of text files if the log reports are enabled. I get these, but some 8570 extra files as well.

I can supply game savefile and settings.txt if needed.

Thanks for the replies, hope this extra info helps.
