Saves not current after reload

[Hangdog]

When I make a manual save, and also when I quit, the next time I load I am set back to the save before THAT.

So I lose hours of progress between those saves.

 

1.7.3 with BG and a few mods on Mac 10.13.6

How are you quitting the game?

[Hangdog]

Usually making a save, going back to the KSP, exiting the program (which should save the persistent file again, yes?)

If you exit out through the menus, yeah.  If you're just closing the game, then it won't.  The game just loads up persistent when you open your save, so even if you make a manual save, and don't exit in a way that lets it create a new autosave, then it'll be old when you open it.

 

What happens if you manually load the save you made before exiting?
