Problem with saving games

[slimefrog13]

We have a big problem with saving games on LC. It seems to be randomly saving wherever it wants to, using both F5 and going the slow way through Esc. It also creates unexplained back-up games and we can't figure out the pattern behind the mysterious savng. so far, two people's games (there are three) have been completely wiped out, 'back-up' versions and all.

is anyone else having this problem? more to the point, does anyone know how to solve it? ;) and does anyone know what the 'QS' next to saves means?

thanks

QS stands for 'Quick Save' - it just denotes that you did that particular save via the F5 key. You only have one quicksave slot - your next F5 quicksave will overwrite the previous one. If you save via the Save menu option, you can have as many save games as you want. I can't help you with the rest of your problem, though.

OK, great, thanks, you're a star. That should be enough info for us to work out some sort of system... hopefully. cheers

Any more than that and you get an error message.
