Save Game issue

[Mobhack]

If you simply select an "-- empty --" file slot then hit return the game uses the "TXX GE vs FR" standardised format, same goes for if you then overwrite it with any other ongoing game. The string is in the default style that fits the C format string, or blank (= "empty").

If, however you enter your own name string for a save game file ( Like "UK 1970s LC", say) then the game will use that name forever after as its no longer in the default style that fits the C format string.

That is the system that has been in place since SP1 days. Its sort of curious, but works if you know what is happening. Me, I always name files.

Thank you ... however I did not use a different name, as normal, I simply hit the "Save" button after every turn and usually use slot 23 or 24 for the ongoing game save file. It simply locked up on say turn 04 of a game and will stay on that turn number forever, even tho the saved game to that file might be on turn 06. I had fixed this before by changing the file in one of the folders ... again about a year ago, and this annoying problem has cropped up again. Something became corrupted and by re-entering either -- Empty -- or -- Save Game Empty -- (cannot recall which) fixed it.

Any thoughts? Bob
