Can you save under an other

Submitted by Redbull102 on Thu, 2006-10-19 14:55.

Can you save under an other name? Like inman3.gam? Try to save under a new fresh savegamename. Maybe Windows just set the inman2.gam file to writeprotected.

Have no Problems with my savegames.

Sorry I have no further

Sorry I have no further ideas how to help you. Only one hint can I give you.
In the past, I had often problems with games and long pathnames, so I always install my games now with shorter paths. SEV is installed at my pc under F:\games\space empires compilation\SEV

I had the same problem last

I had the same problem last night, fortunately I have been autosaving fairly regularly so I don't expect to lose too much.

is it just one game?

Submitted by MasterChiToes on Thu, 2006-10-19 23:15.

Is your save problem with a specific se5 game, or is it every se5 game?
I've had a single demo game go corrupt, and thereafter couldn't be saved. I think the last save might have been corrupt too, I don't recall. Since then, if I care about a game, I avoid overwriting the last few "most current" saves... actually I've tended to do that on most computer games, for years.

Unfortunatly

Submitted by doorsmaniac on Fri, 2006-10-20 06:12.

Unfortunatly i didnt have auto save turned on (did in the demo i had) But anyway......I was wondering if there was a way to change the save path...If that dosent work im gonna start from my last save point....which isnt all that bad.

Same problem

Submitted by TheStuff07 on Fri, 2006-10-20 07:14.

I had the same problem. I have autosave on every 2 turns, and it happened to me at 2411.0, so I reloaded at 2410.8 and it works just fine from there.
