1.08.02 Auto save not working

[gazfun]

Trying this out, especially the no tie issue in a Third party Battle, couldnt get the game to auto save.
Have I got the wrong serial number of something Marshall? [:)]

[Marshall Ellis]

Hmmmm?
if you had the wrong SN then it shouldn't run???
It is saving somewhere or you would get an error???
Can you scan for the game .SAV files?

I saw this too. It seems that if you install 1.08 in a separate folder (as per recommendation), the installation doesn't create a save folder, so there's nowhere for the autosaves (or any other saves) to go. However, if you just manually create one, it seems to work.

[Marshall Ellis]

Aha! So the installer is not creating the folder! OK!
This should not happen in production.

Try this Garr and let me know...

[gazfun]

Ok that worked

Have put in a report on the "Tie in a Battle" report Mantis

Marshall it put the Saved folder in the "Documents and Setting folder" after a search

[gazfun]

Gamestart files are still made in this for PBEM? , if so where are they? commin and commout folders......cant see them
And they werent created btw, nothing after a PC wide search
UPDATE:
I havd to put in the commout and commin folder so we can get a gamestart file going.
Something to look at Marshall

[Marshall Ellis]

Well, it seems that the upgrades are counting on the dir structure to be there already from the production original install so the folders are not being created! ARRRRG!

[gazfun]

Yes it seems so, as these folders are not being created

What I found is the best thing to do is to copy your existing 1.07 install and install 1.08 over the top of that copy, rather than installing 1.08 in a new directory.
