Game feature - AUTOSAVE

This game could REALLY use an auto save feature - I was playing a game earlier and after perhaps 4 hours of play my computer hard locked on me (not beta related). Anyway an auto save feature would be welcomed- preferably on a time slider (ex: set how long between auto saves never/5mins - 30 minitues). Also it'd be nice if it had a similar function to GalCiv 2 in that it did "auto save" and "previous auto save".

That is all for now.

There is an autosave, it just doesnt seem to be fully implemented yet. It's present in the user.settings file in documents and settings -> user -> ironclad. Open with wordpad. You can fiddle with it if you want, but Results May Vary, doncha know.

You can activate autosave as DeadlyShoe mentionned and you can also set the time frequency.

On an XP machine with standard installation the directory would be c:\documents and settings\username\application data\ironclad games\sins of a solar empire\setting\user.setting.

Open it with notepad or wordpad and change GS_AUTOSAVE FALSE to GS_AUTOSAVE FALSE. Then change AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL 300 to a time of your choice. The time is in seconds.
