michaelm, In one of the patches you added( I think it was you[:)]) the daily saves to the save game list. These saves are accessable only while you have the game running. Is it possible to have them stay in the save game list, in game, and have them over right the oldest save when it runs out of save slots? For example, when I end the orders phase the game saves in slot 2, and at the end of turn resolution the game saves in the next available slot after 10( I think). But when you exit the game, all of those saves are lost. Can it be setup so they stay in the save game list and just over-write the oldest?
Or is this function there already and I just missed it?....GP

The saves are stored in the 'autosave' sub-directory. The 'load save' function only works off predefined file names...wpae999.pws in the save directory.
You would would need to copy the save from 'autosave' and rename it.

My game has version 1.0.6.1108r9.

Is this still latest patch?

Please advice...is the new patch save-game compatible?

That's the latest "OFFICIAL" patch. Not the latest beta. See the first post in this thread for the latest beta patch. And yes, If you mean you can load it and save your current game....GP

OK Sorry guys have to ask.
What is the procedure to update to a current ongoing game.
Don't want to ruin a Campaign game already in May '42.

Thanks
Seth

For those of you running PBEM games, here is a recommended update procedure*:

(Note: v1079 refers to the game Release version and v1095 refers to the Update version. Your current version may vary.)

1) Japanese player resolves latest turn using current version v1079.
2) Japanese player saves game.
3) Japanese player exits game.
4) Japanese player sends combat replay to Allied player.
5) Japanese player upgrades to new version v1095.
6) Japanese player issues orders and advances turn.
7) Japanese player sends turn to Allied player.

8) Allied player plays combat replay under old version v1079.
9) Allied player upgrades to new version v1095.
10) Allied player issues orders and advances turn.
11) Allied player send turn file back to Japanese player.

The key is that orders must be entered using the same version and then the turn resolved with that version i.e.:
-J Orders v1079, A Orders v1079, J Resolve v1079, A Replay v1079;
-Both update to v1095, J Orders v1095, A Orders v1095, etc.


For Japanese players playing multiple PBEM games, what this means is that you will need to collect all of your opponents' turns and run them before updating.

After you run each turn, send off the replay file to the Allied player, and ask him to play the replay under the old version. Once you have resolved all of your PBEM opponents' turns, you can now upgrade.
