I had no idea this game had multiple Save's allready...

[Rassad]

Just stumbled onto the ALT+F9 function to choose different saved games... wow..

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS!?

Even google didnt seem to know about it!

...shh dont tell google.

That's not really multiple saves feature, it is just for loading scenarios.

[justadude]

those are tutorials and othe game states that overwrite your current game. If you are not careful you can ruin your save.

Would be very nice to have multiple saves though... The number of times I have saved just before the ship triggers self destruct due to a game glitch... Soooooo annoying when that happens.

[Zeroignite]

I would love double-buffered quicksave files... or even better, like 5x buffered.

[Dictatorshipper]

Huh? There *are* multiple saves in this game... what's everyone on about?

[SDIR]

Perhaps using shift + alt number for multiple saves?

There already is. Though you have to go to your file system to get the backup.

Where? I only see one quicksave.sfs

If you go to your saves directory of your current game, you can create subdirectories like "On Laythe" for example, and drag your save file into there. When you want to load it, drag it back to the saves directory and reload it from the game as normal.

I think that will work, maybe I didn't try it. I'm using different method like renaming the quicksave and dragging it to scenario folder(I tried and it worked absolutely).

There are multiple saves...

Select persistent.sfs

Control-C

Control-V

[Grizzlol]

You just need to copy the quick save file. Then you can rename the copy for reference. When you want to load a specific save, you just rename it back to quicksave.sfs. It is very simple, stop complicating things. There is also the persistent.sfs file which is the auto-saved state.

[El wonso]

Lulz, people are talking about copying and renaming save file like it's multiple save feature

[Sparker]

I hope there will be multiple quicksaves, it would be very useful.

[Merinsan]

I too have used the "existing multiple save" feature of CTRL-C + CTRL-V.

I very much doubt that multiple saves will be officially implemented though. In fact, I fully expect quicksave to vanish at some point, since it's not particularly challenging when you have a quicksave available. I've crashed so many things with absolutely no consequence since I just press F9.

[swiftgates24]

I think multiple saves would be to unrealistic. Quicksaves are ready are, but multiple? For me, it removes the fun from the game.

I'm pretty sure NASA didn't say "Oops, Challenger blew up, time load the quicksave!"

Yes it has two uses, one is to save important memories (landed on top of the Armstrong monument), the other to do incremental saves then doing hard tasks like an Eve landing and exit it makes sense to make an save before deorbit and put in an save 2 folder so you can roll back to this if you needed an better location to reach orbit again.
