OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - I have never seen a less intuitive save function in any game ever.

What I do, (on a Mac), is to save where I want to save, and then if I need to go back to it later, is force quit the program. When you reload OOTP, it will ask you if you want to clean up the text files (like news, etc.) that have newer entries than that date (because you played past it). Choose yes. Then, after that's done, the game will continue loading to where you saved it. There must be some similar function on the PC to the Mac's "Force Quit", but I'm not really familiar with them. It's a system-wide function to quit any program without saving.
