Autosave

[Kirby1962]

I played for hours. September rolled around and about to end the regular season. But the game crashes & sends me straight to Desktop. Reload, but only option is JULY. Is there no Autosave?

There are auto saves but you must set the frequency at Game>Game Settings>Auto-Save and Log Settings. Also frequent backups are recommended from the File>Backups menu.

This is from another thread. Not sure if it will be useful but worth a shot:

To restore from the automatic backup, do the following:

1) Open the game and on the start screen, click on Settings (or Preferences in OOTP 11-14).

2) Now click on the tab "Troubleshooting".

3) Click "Open folder containing saved games".

4) Now open up the league folder you're wanting to restore.

5) Then select all of the .dat files in the folder and back them up (just in case) by copying them to a temporary folder or creating a zipped file with them

6) Open the folder called "auto-save".

7) In there, select all of the ".dat" files and copy them to the league folder (the parent of the current folder) overwriting all of the ".dat" files in the league folder.

8) Now start the game and load your league. You may lose some progress depending on when the autosave last backed things up, but hopefully you should be able to get going again.
