Deleted all save files by deleting the "."

herm1978 · 01-17-2018, 01:06 PM

I was cleaning up in my saved games and there was this strange one with just a ".". Seems that deleting that one deleted all the games.

If not a bug then perhaps a warning would be in place.

I absolutely agree, there should be a warning 'bout it.

More than once I was tempted to delete this...

Where are you seeing the ".", exactly? I'm not getting it on my load screen (assuming you're deleting from there.)

Thats about what it looks like in FHM 4. At least in mine.

I'm not sure what that is, I don't get it in my games (Steam or eSellerate versions.) I'll do some more checking and see if we can figure out what'd cause that.

Just some more info from my side, maybe it helps.

I got the eSellerate version of FHM3 running on a Windows 7 PC. Purchased the game in November 2016 and that thing is there as long as I can remember. Probably from the very first day. Maybe that let me even think that it has to be there. At some point I just decided to leave it untouched (thank God!).

If you can't figure out what it is and where it comes from, maybe it's possible to place a warning onto that page.
To be honest, I'd be pretty p****d if I had lost all my saves because of it
