The way I save my career

robj250 · 12-03-06, 06:48 PM

Hi, as most of you know, I have a problem and can only play for a little while.

Therefore I have one question. Whenever I save my career, if possible I use the same name, overwriting the previous saved game, so I don't have a lot of different names.

Will this cause a problem. I'm using TGW1.1a.

I know this is probably a stupid question. But I don't really know and I thought I'd ask, because in the present mission I am doing this; never done it before.

Okay, you guys can have a laugh, I don't mind, but I really would like an answer.

No ones gonna laugh Rob

Everyone saves differently and similary the way people save affects different people in different ways

Some people have problems saving one way while others dont

Its one of the many SH3 quirks

Each installation has its own mind

I save mine with the date so I know where I am - a habit I got into in the Wolfpack Campaign and that works for me

I have noticed though that the more saves you have then the longer SH3 seems to take to load

Basically its whatever works for you Rob

Rob, noone in here will laugh, believe me. This is a mature forum, and i hope it will continue to be that.
I agree with bbw; i also save with the dates to keep it easy. And i dont think overwriting should cause any trouble, mate.

Rob mate, I save with the same name most of the time. I only deviate from that when I want to try something rediculous out to see what will happen. I then save under a different name so I can go back to where I was after I die.

I know I'm going to die when I try these things out cos they are usually like what would happen if I try to ram the HMS Hood?

BTW if any one laughs we'll send the boyus around to give em a good talking too!

Sounds like me, too. Virtually every game I save is saved under the name: "save". I constantly overwrite, and never have (yet) encountered a problem. And, like TarJak, now and then I'll save a game with a different name (save1, save2

) for those occassions when I go "Ummmm . . . I wonder what would happen if I did this instead of my usual that for a change".

(For those that are curious . . . this usually results (fairly quickly at times, too) to an "Oh sheisse!!" and a sunk U-boat)

Hi Rob i save using the one save game with the same name all the time just let it overwrite the last save i made. I have never had a problem with this. But it has been said before in this thread SH3 has it quiks so it might not work for all. But it seem to work ok for me. Im sure you will be ok

I have been overwriting the previous save for AGES, and no problem have been seen so far (except that you cannot roll back to the past once you got screwed up by enemy)
