Quick Save and Auto Save do not change once game has been cl

Post » Sat Jan 30, 2010 6:58 am

Everything had been working fine until a day or so ago. I stayed up real late and made a solid 4 to 5 hours of progress. I did not do a hard save (my mistake) but I made sure the game was auto and quick saved. I got back on the next day and for some reason my auto and quick saves were now from me, only from a totally different point in the game. Now my auto save and quick save files will not change. If I quick save another character, it shows up as changed and I can load it while the game is up. But once I exit the game and reopen it, the quick save and auto saves have all been reverted to the original ones. (IE they are always of me, as a level 12, exiting vault 22.) I have tried renaming, deleting, etc. but they always change back to the exact same files.

This is really annoying because I cannot quick save any of my other characters and auto save doesn't ensure that my data isn't lost during a crash because it always converts back to and old auto save. Patch did nothing and I have tried several fixes. Anyone else have this issue?

lol. After dealing w/ the fps problem and not being able to turn your mouse outside w/out skipping or freezing, i found the save thing as nothing. Both my quick and auto's *even after deleting* revert back to leaving the doctor at lvl 1. Honestly, just hard save every time you are going to stop playing. Either overwrite or keep deleting the previous, only takes a few seconds to hard save so it should be the least of ppl's worries.
