Saving Games - "Empty Slot" unavailable

[paajtor 10]

Yesterday, I found out that I couldn't use an empty slot anymore, to save my game.

The option simply wasn't there anymore (yes, I scrolled up and down to try to find it).

Only way to save my current progress, was to overwrite an excisting save.

So I went to the location of my TOM saves, and deleted a bunch of old saves.

Restarted the game, and now the Empty Slot option is there again.

Can we please have the option to delete saves, ingame?

And have the save-games list update accordingly...without having to restart TOM.

*game-version 0.8.0254

Hmm, I was unaware the delete save game function was not present. Cheers for the heads up, this will definitely need to be added!

Ok, good news, thx.

But on the other hand, what's the use of having a delete-option for my save-games, if my save-games become corrupted after a game-update?

After the update to v0.8.0323, my old save-games won't load anymore. :(

They give me an error everytime:

That's 22hrs of hard work, down the drain.

I had probes and small landers on every location, and was covering multiple missions with 1 small rover...racking up cash, to save for bigger landers and rovers.

All gone, as I can't use my old saves anymore!

I'm kinda pissed right now, and really hesitating to start a new career, because where's the fun if the next update makes everything useless again?

I don't think I'll play TOM again...not untill compatibility with old save-games is garanteed, when a new update is released.

p.s. "JIT must be enabeld" >> what does that mean?

Uhm, I'm sorry....maybe I'm a bit to harsh, but hey I was pissed :P

I know the game is still in it's early stages, and I might be expecting to much at this point.

But isn't there a way to keep using save-games from a previous build?

What has changed so that they won't work in the new build anymore?

Can I manually edit the last save, so that it "fits" into the new 0.8.0323 build?

Hey Paajtor,

We try to ensure old save games work with new versions but occasionally this is not possible due to a major new feature or overhaul, or by accident. I have one such save to try and fix the latest issue on, but I've not gotten time for it yet.
