I just lost another turn. Had to go back, and reload my PBEM turn again, and do it all over agin.

It would be very nice if... (I hate it when my own users say that)

When on the "Save Game" screen, that after you've put in comments, that it auto-saves. Presently, if you don't put in a comment, and one already exists, it simply overwrites (works fine). But if you put in a comment, you STILL have to manually click the "save" button. If you put in your comment, hit "ok", and then exit however, you get nothing but frustration. It would be my recommendation that, if a comment is entered, that the game automatically save the game in slot that you selected. It's just intuitive.

Also, it does appear to screwey if you try to save in a slot without a comment. Frankly, my screen gets choppy breaks the image into various rectangles (like one of the slide-the-block puzzles). I've also seen this problem before in different things, and I think it has more to do with the fact that I'm running DX8.1 instead of DX9.

But I still think it should auto-save in the selected slot, after entering ANY comments in the save screen.

Yes, i've suffered from the same mistake.

I think if they simply change the 'done' button to 'exit' or 'close' it will solve matters.

Also, whenever you the click the 'end turn' button the game should generate an autosave. As current it generates an autosave only after the combat reports.

In other words what i was trying to say is that the autosave should be of your previous turn, not the current one. It's a bit frustrating at current that in case you noticed a bug/error in the combat report, the autosave is generated after the combat report, so you have no chance of having the save file unless you manually saved the game before you clicked the end turn button. If clicking the end turn button generates a save as well as proceeding with the game, i think it will be much better for everyone.

It would also help with bug reports. I don't know how many times something went wrong for me to save "Grr, if I had only saved, Matrix would have the game fixed by now"

This would go a long ways to giving you guys better tools to resolve some of these long standing untrackable errors. I don't blame you for not fixing things when we don't have the proof you need
