Small issue with Singleplayer saves.

[Saberuneko]

Hello there... I haven't been around for... a really long while.
I've just downloaded the latest version of Disco just to try out in Singleplayer. I found out there's a launcher now and things changed in some sort of new ways...

My issue is that whenever I save a SP game, close the game, and open the game again, all the saves that were present before are missing then.

Might it be some issue on my side? Or is it intentional?

--

In another side note, sort of off-topic, Freelancer Companion shows these warnings when I open it now. Is it some kind of issue with Jump points?

Code:

Jump Li04_to_LI13_hole is missing a valid goto= in file Universe\systems\Li04\Li04.ini
Jump LI13_to_Li04_hole is missing a valid goto= in file Universe\systems\LI13\LI13.ini

Launcher erases saves every time it launches. Just run Freelancer.exe if you want to play SP only (but still run launcher sometimes to get updates if needed).

Warnings are about disabled Texas-Minnesota jumphole. It will be fixed next update.

I guess the two jump points you have there are floating code somewhere, when someone was either lazy or not tidy enough, happens. Just ignore them, I guess it's on the to-do list of our devs ( probably far under Dota 2 but still ( jokes aside (>_>), haste please don't beat me :3 ) )

Also about the saves, you can still use the launcher as usual. Just backup your singleplayer saves before you are going to exit Freelancer/Discovery.

Code:

- Start Discovery via Launcher
- Play a bit
- Save the game as usual
- Tab-Out
- Go to this folder: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\
- backup your saves over there (?)
- Once you want to continue playing from a save, you will want to paste the backup again into the C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\... folder while you are in the main menu, also always have a backup. This means: don't simply move your backup but copy it

I'm not quite sure but I think when you launch discovery without the launcher DSAce will not be loaded and it messes all around ( like 6XXx4XX resolution? ), no? Not quite sure, though. I doubt it is intended that the launcher removes all savegames from singleplayer ( stares at a dev member hiding behind the wall over there )

Just let people have a choice.

Yes, making button like "Restore DSAce" - "Erase saved games" will be good for both SP players and players who play multiple FL mods.

Hmm, may be able to .bat that to save time each time I play :3
Thanks for the explanation. :3

Edit: Copying the files back when the game is open doesn't work for me. They won't appear listed in the load game list. o.o

It'll be better if I just wait until the issue is patched up...
Thanks for the help anyway...

Looks like the game requires to load the documents beforehands... try this ;

Code:

- Follow the tutorial
- Start a new game if you should not see your old savegame
- After you flew around for a minute, go back to the main menu
- See if your save is around now, if yes, well have fun!

This will hopefully force the game to reload the documents folder, you could try it out^^.
