I have a few issues with manual saving at PA. When I save my file and load it later it loads at an earlier point instead of the point it saved. Autosaving seems to work fine though.
I'm not the only one, several people on Steam discussion board are saying the same happens to them... Just for caution I recommend that before exiting your prison wait for an autosave to save the game. Manual saving is mysterious at the moment.
Manual Save broken?

Re: Manual Save broken?
Indeed, my manual save is borked.
There is already a Mantis report here: http://bugs.introversion.co.uk/view.php?id=5724
Workaround - shorten your autosave timer.
A user made a note on the report with another workaround.

My prison got completely fked up now.... I loaded the latest manual save because my autosave file was on another prison... I basicly lost many things such as all my snitches and some changes... I cant do system restore because it takes me back to 8/10/2014 :l
This should be hotfixed ASAP

Re: Manual Save broken?
I saw the workaround "I've found a temporary fix :
-Save normally
-Then go in your saves folder
-Find the save with the .prison-temp format
-Change the format to .prison
-You can load the save again ^^."
But I cant figure out how to change the format to .prison
-Save normally

But I cant figure out how to change the format to .prison
Re: Manual Save broken?
You can still save, you just can't save over an existing savegame

If using Windows, open the start menu and type in folder. In the results, click on Folder Options. Go to the View tab, and around the middle of the list will be the option for "Hide extensions for known file types." Uncheck the box, hit Apply and OK.
Now the file's extension will be visible for you to rename normally.

I am aware of that I would have to make a new savefile everytime I want to manually save :l

Re: Manual Save broken?
Its odd how Chris has still not noticed the major bug after 4 months of lack performance improvements.
