I'm playing the 1914 scenary for two players with patch 1.04
In options y mark autosave and only save the first month, later months aren't saved.
I saved month a month but I have one crash in October 1914 and the saved games dissapear , only remains the first autosave :confused:

Autosave is executed only if no mandatory window is over the screen (i.e: Draw Events window), because the autosave could cause the disappearing of the window (so making you unable to draw events!).

Each autosave overwrites the previous one, renaming it as "OldAutosave.SAV". Actually, nothing is done on the .MAP file, because the OldAutosave is just a "backup" copy. But if you feel it's better I backup also the .MAP file, never mind, I can do it in a few minutes! ;)

I have continuous errors in the game that make me go away, I think it is necessary for now saved automatically :cuit:

1.0.4c now makes a backup copy also of .MAP file.

I'm 100% concentrated on the remaining CTDs, of course.

I'll keep you all posted.
