Sharpy07 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Ive got setup a 3 rolling save set-up for my games which is fine. However before my game crashed and then it would not load up the lastest of my 3 rolling saved games afterwards, but it had created a back-up of my latest save game with the word (Backup) displayed after it. Ive not noticed this before, is this a new enchancement?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 No. IT's been in the game for years. And it's adjustable in the preferences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 No the backup definitely seems new. I've had FM crash for plenty of versions but the filename(backup) thing is a first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mije1983 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 No. IT's been in the game for years. And it's adjustable in the preferences. Is it? I can't see it. The only thing I see is the rolling saves option. No mention of backup. :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 That's the backup - rolling saves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpy07 Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 I had all three rolling save games, and then another with the filename plus (Backup), displayed like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mije1983 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I've got the rolling saves working but my file names don't say backup next to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpy07 Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Its seems the game was able to retrieve a backup off the game, after it crashed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 What's so hard to understand here? You set in the preferences that you do rolling saves. After it saves from an incremental save, it backsup the game the amount of times you've specified. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I don't know what to do with that at all? If it's backing up the file, what difference does it make? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebj Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 No. IT's been in the game for years. And it's adjustable in the preferences. Yep, this has been a feature for a while now. V handy as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mije1983 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I don't know what to do with that at all? If it's backing up the file, what difference does it make? It doesn't make a difference. But the OP said he was able to recover a save that had (Backup) by the file name. Usually rolling saves will have 'file name', 'file name (v1)', 'file name (v2)' etc. And this was my point and what I was responding to. I've using rolling saves for a long time now but none of mine say (backup) next to them. Which is why when you said you could add it in the preferences I asked where it was.

Smurf Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Mine are saved as "(v02)" "(v03)" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mije1983 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Mine are saved as "(v02)" "(v03)" Yeah mine too. The only thing I can think of is that I've noticed you can restore individual folders on W7 so I'm wondering if this is something Windows does rather than FM. So the save corrupts and then Windows brings up the backup file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 *sigh* Does anybody follow the OPs post? It's NOT the same as the (v02) rolling save thing. It's a post-crash thing. It's new. Either that or FM11 never crashed for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
