Worried about saved games

Rosencrantz · 10-27-09, 03:39 PM

I'm a bit worried about saved games in SH5. For example that AI will be able to respond to U-boat threat by rerouting convoys etc will be more than nice new feature. However, if data about the U-boat infested areas won't be included in save-files, then this whole new feature will be ruined at once...

And I really hope I don't have to run into corrupted save-files as often as with SH4. Especially when we are dealing with rather slow moving submarine simulation, then I think safe saving will be even more important.

I agree , the save game has to be 100% stable .

Why worry about something that may not be an issue?

I'm worried about the font of the main menu.

If it's Comic Sans, I'm throwing the disc out the window

What worries me is whether the menu font will be saved in the save file. Would hate my Comic Sans to revert to Times New Roman.

Nah, seriously, why worry about a) the unknown and b) something which you have no control over. Not worth it, especially for something as inconsequential (ie when compared to family, work, health) as a game.

What I would like though is the ability to peek/poke save game files. In other words, have the contents "visible" for editing and not compressed and saved in a proprietary "hidden" format. SH3 (maybe SH4 too, dunno) would have benefitted so much if save game files could be edited (better milk cow implementation, malfunction/sabotage management etc etc).

no need to worry, the devs promised we would have a whole new set of bugs and issues so i would guess saved games are part of that too

Good point.
We all got burned with the SH3 saves. I'm sure the devs will fix this for SH5.
