JoeLatics Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi all, what exactly does incremental auto save mean?! Cheers Joe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 It makes a new file for each auto-save. It will be named after the date which you are currently on (game time). Very handy and more reliable than a 3 file rolling save but obviously takes up alot more space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLatics Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Crikey, not much good when I'm saving every day then! Cheers matey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 It is useful as save game files can become corrupt and if you don't have a back-up then you lose your saved game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLatics Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Yeah, as I found out recently, much to my annoyance I'm on 5 file at the minute, so I should hope I'd be okay Cheers again KTF Joe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsie Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 basically you can look at it like this. If you have a rolling autosave of 3, everytime you manually or automatically save it will create 3 copies of that save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimland Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I thought rolling saves was that autosaves were rolling between the set number of files so with 3 files and every week saving week 1 would be file 1, week 2 would be file 2, week 3 would be file 3 and week 4 would be file 1 again.
