[1.0.3.5] Auto-saves are not frequent enough

Post by hyperiaex »

I have my auto-saves set to 5 minutes, but they only happen every 20-40 minutes. What gives?

Given that there are still a lot of random crashes, I was hoping at least I wouldn't lose too much when experiencing a crash.

Hi , I set mine at 1 minute and I get 1 save randomly every 5 minutes. It's a way to avoid this bug ...

I suspect the autosave timer might be based on unpaused time. I haven't tested, but it would explain the apparent variability of the save frequency.

Sorry, I made a similar post about this. In my case I had 2 Auto saves over a 9 hour play window. And while I did pause, I didn't pause anywhere close to that much

Agree, I also don't pause that much. This does not seem to be correlated with unpaused time.

Will try to set auto-save to 1 minute and see what happens.

auto save, is, AFAICT - absolutely random. It has no relationship to play time, wall time, CPU time, or any other time.

Just random.

This should be fixed in the new 1.0.3.6 beta, please give it a try.
