Problem Saving Games

[Mortibus]

I get what you are saying... I'm just trying to explain why it is not an easy UI feature in this game.

It's a niche game for a reason, right? I would assume this is one of those reasons. The programmers got the exact same complaints with D2, and yet they decided deliberately not to include save/load as a feature.

They want an ironman game. They're not doing it to spite people, that's just the kind of game they wanted to make.

If they wanted a mass market game to get more customers, it would be a 3D RTS with a convenient autosave, ya?

I'm sure there well be a download shortly that will resolve the save issue for you. I would like the option myself in case of a corrupted save file, at least a named save on exiting the game.

Uh hows it not an easy UI feature? I managed to add saving and reloading to a crappy game with just book knowledge in Visual Basic.. Its not brain surery esp since evidently someone managed to make a 3rd person mod in dom2 do it.


And yes they didnt do it. And im saying i wish they'd add it.It can still be an ironman game. No one is forced to use it.


If illwinter wasnt in this for the money it would be freeware right?


And yes im sure a 3d party mod will fix it. Just would of be handier to allready have it in game

I wasn't talking about the difficulty of programming the save/load UI feature at all, that's easy.

It's a weird game, they aren't catering to the mass market despite the fact that it is not freeware.

Maybe they'll let us know why they didn't include the save/load option. Did they ever address this in the D2 forum?
