Quicksave strange behaviour

Post by TheTillinghast »

I'm having problem with the quicksave option in the menu... using it should save my game, but reloading after a death will result in going back on a way too old state of my session (wich wasn't of course the moment i quicksaved) am i missing something ? there is maybe a quick load key wich is indipendent from the normal load game function ?

Watch for any error message that pop up when you try to quick-save. If you are on a contract, you won't be able to save and will need to wait until you've completed the objective before saving. If the save is successful, the message 'Progress saved...' will be displayed in the message log.

It's quite subtle, actually. Something along the lines of "saving not allowed during contracts", in the same place where the "progress saved" usually pops up. No audio cue, either.

Also the Keyboard Quick save "Alt-Q" has changed in EM to "Alt-F9"......Check the new Keyboard mappings for EM....I still have to get used to this one.....LOL...:P

:cool: Yeah, me too. In fact, I've gone back to using the "Esc" key.
