BUG: Save game gone

[Rockinsince87]

Scope: Save Games


Bug: Save games are deleted after a failed load of the game


Current remedy:  Use disk shadow copies or use a automated backup script to copy the data someplace else at a given interval

Steps to reproduce:
--I don't think this can be reproduced at will--
1. Load game
2. If Game get's stuck loading (Excessive load time, 5 minutes +) ((In my case I waited 10 minutes))
3. Close the game
4. Re-launch game and...find that all the avatars are missing
5. Verify that  ((Win)) "%userprofile%\Hazeron Starship\Saved Games\A1001100 is now ~1KB or less. 
       

Suggested:
- Implement a auto-save feature (configurable in game menus) 
- Implement a auto rotation archive feature
   - Keep last 3 saves
     - Perhaps rename the save file A1001100.1 .2 .3 and so on. 
     - Should something go wrong, end users can simply delete A1001100 and rename A1001100.X to A1001100 to restore lost data.

Update:

I found that the A1010101 was damaged. I restored an backup save game and it blew it self out again and again. 
I restored both files (A1010101 and A1001100) and this fixed it. 


So if A1010101 is damaged this will happen.
