What's the point of autosaving every other turn if you can't access those saves after your game crashes?!?!?!
argh!

Doesnt save every turn though. Well maybe depends on speed but on Marathon it saves every 3-4 turns...
Open the file Civilization.ini in the BTS folder (I run Vista and it's in documents\my games\Beyond the Sword in my PC, may be different for other OS) with notepad. There's a line there that readsCode:; Specify the number of turns between autoSaves. 0 means no autosave. AutoSaveInterval = 4
Set it to 1.
Edit. Be sure to make a backup before editing that file.
It depends on how you configure them. The standard is every 4 turns, but you can change that if you want. I'll shamelessly quote myself on how to do it:
Good for you! Wish I were that brave. :envy:
But seriously, the backup part is for the rare but possible case where you screw things up accidentally.
You're screwed to the extent of having to reinstall the game. If I recall correctly, your saved games and Hall of Fame remain intact.If you accidentally change something in the .ini folder, and you can't figure out how to get it back, are you screwed? (assuming you didn't back it up)
You're screwed to the extent of having to reinstall the game.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! I have been wondering how to fix this for ages! I have always been frustrated by the autosave every four turns thing because if I make a big mistake, like accidentally sending my SOD to the wrong continent while they are all selected, I have to go back anywhere from 2-4 turns just to fix it. YAY!
apparently so.. where might I find it/them?
