Savegame-bug

[GoodGuy]

I just found a bug dealing with Savegames. I played an online game yesterday, and set the autosave-function, to ensure that we wouldn't have to restart the map in case a crash/problem with the connection occured.

The autosave worked fine, and no crash/problem occured during the online match. We just experienced 1 or 2 short freezes, which is an excellent result, imo.

But when I tried to load this savegame in SP (I forgot the fact that my SP autosave had been overwritten with the MP-savegame), I received an error message ("This is not an Airborne Assault single player saved game"). I hit OK, but then the buttons NEW GAME and LOAD GAME did not work anymore. Only a restart of the game would solve this.

I recommend to create 2 autosave files, 1 for SP + 1 for MP, since the autosave is a neat feature, and I guess it's being used by many players.

Hehehehe [:)]
Well, I didn't say it's critical, right? [:D]

Blast so he has. [:)]
 
BTW GoodGuy you cannot run saved games in single player mode if they were created in multiplayer and vice versa. You can only load a multiplayer saved game via the Host screen. Otherwise it would be possible to cheat on your opponent and we wouldn't want to encourage that now would we? [;)]

Hell yeah, I figured that right when the message window came up. [:D][;)] I just thought it's the SP autosave, k? :p

Dave, I wasn't heading for cheats. I hate to quote myself, but here goes:

I hit OK, but then the buttons NEW GAME and LOAD GAME did not work anymore.

Let's say a new player tries to load his last SP autosave, not knowing that his last MP session overwrote the savegame 'coz his game was set to save every 20 mins. He'd get the warning message, would hit OK, and then he'd go home and cry to Mommy for 2 reasons: He lost his most recent SP auto-savegame, plus he thinks his game ceased working partially. [:D]
Oh wait, the same happened to me too, minus the Mommy-part etc. ! [;)]

Also, lazy ppl like me love to use the auto-saves, in sp AND mp. So please make it create 2 files. [&o]

Will this make it into BFTB? Seperate autosave files for SP and MP?
