Forgetting to save the game

[fattyg]

Ok so i'm playing with Alfreton in the BSN and we went on a good run of five games unbeaten, 4 of them wins i think, which took us up to the dizzying heights of 6th in the table. Now i realise thats not really that great, and its only half way through the season but it was important because it gave us a fighting chance of the playoffs.

Anyway I hadn't saved for a bit but had been thinking about it, then all of a sudden my bloody laptop freezes!! The upshot of it is i had to restart and lost the last 6 games of progress which having now just replayed we've drawn 2 and lost the other four leaving us 19th in the table. There's still time to turn things around of course, but this, coupled with an impending takeover by a consortium that want to sack me, just makes me want to cry lol

So who else out there has got stories of their own stupidity where they've forgotten to save the game at a key point and paid the consequences?

I do rolling autosave as well, but its monthly and the other night i crashed one day before the save day <_< Had to redo 6 matches which i had stormed 5 wins from and lost 4 of them.

Auto saves are the way to go

[frodoisdead]

yeah, autosave after every week is what i do.
can you do it so it saves after every match?

[LAHoward]

every fortnight here usually theres just too much to lose if crash before a monthly autosave. either 05 or 07 i had to save weekly cant remember which

Autosave 3 rolling file each day Just to be careful.
