GWX3GOLD - where has my saved game gone?!

[Paul Riley]

Evening jim,

Just regarding the 'x' (sorry I dont have time to check the documentation JUST yet,I want to get straight on my patrol,almost back home) ,I tried removing the 'x' but then the save would disappear again.Does the game allow the removal of the added character before next patrol,as with mods? And finally,does the game even allow underscores ( _ ) at the end,instead of an 'x'?,or even a full stop?.

Really is the strangest thing I have experienced in a game,you know?.

Sorry if this has been discussed before,I wont have any reason to bring this up again

Thanks for the help.

I had the manual printed and put in a 3 ring binder dirt cheap at Kinko's.

I added colored tabs to separate sections for ease of finding things.

If all else fails I pm Jimbuna and be a pain in the arse to him.

That is a great idea FW,problem is I ran out of printer ink
Must have took hours to print mind you,wow.
I did the same with Wazoo's plotting guide ages ago,and still have it in a ring binder.

Don't use your own printer Paul. Call around to Print shops.

It's alot cheaper.

At Kinko's here in USA it was 2 cents a page both sides.

Normally I would play the patrol acessed via the 'x factor', complete the patrol then dock and save.

Come out of game and access the save title in C\MyDocs.

Delete the 'x' and load the save (now without the x).

You can always add it again if you experience a recurrence of the situation.

I have only used letters and numbers in my tests.

NEVER DELETE THE 'PLAYER' DEFAULT NAME

FW,

I have always been curious,how much is a cent compared with British money?.Is it closer to our penny?,with 100 pennies to a pound?,so,so many cents to a dollar?.I understand 1 dollar is about half of our pound,meaning you can get roughly 2 for the price of 1 over in the US.

Ripoff Britain! (shame,but wouldnt want to lose our pound either)

A cent is 1/100th of a dollar, so about half a UK penny. (We sometimes call them pennies too.) Back when you had 240 pence to the pound, and the pound was worth about $2.40, a cent was worth about a penny. New pence are worth 2.4 old pence, but the relative value of the pound to the dollar has declined.

RL,

Thanks for the info.I will just relate to them as being pennies,albeit much more value than our pennies,as you can still get almost 2 for our 1 over there.
On the downside,it would mean losing our £ if we adopted any other currency.The price you pay,literally.
