Problem since patch

[gfeier]

I just got back to the game since I was waiting for the patch. I now do not seem to be able to delete existing saves. The appropriate dialogs come up, but the saves remain. Is anyone else experiencing this?

 

[janthony]

Yeah, I can't delete previous patch saves either. I don't know if you can overwrite them if you try to save a new game with the exact same name, but I don't really want to test that to find out either.

Can't you just delete saves using the Finder, like in every other application?

I'm sure you can, but that's not the point. Looks like the game is broke.

Edit: I was able to delete the saves from the Saves folder without any trouble. Inelegant, but it works. Still needs a fix in the next patch. I opened a ticket with Aspyr.

Sorry, I don't think I was quite clear. The saves I can't delete were from games started post-patch. I deleted all old saves before I patched.

Aspyr said they'll "be investigating this problem more in depth" so I hope it gets fixed in the next patch.

I found another problem. My Brandenburg Gate vanished. It was replaced by a Porcelain Tower and yet I had another city building the said Tower. Has to be a bug somewhere cuz you can't even try to build a wonder if it's already built or is being built by another of your own cities.

Dang.

Yes you can overwrite. My game hangs so often that I save multiple times a turn, overwriting as I go.

Is that from a game started before the latest patch and continued after the patch?

 

[achabot]

A game started before the patch.

 

[AspyrRyan]

That would be why. So much changed in terms of buildings and wonders that old saved games have strange issues when continued after the patch. New games won't have that issue.

 

[achabot]

Oh great. That thing crashes at least once every other turn. It's taken me weeks to get where I am and now I have to start again

 

[achabot]

Lemme rephrase that. It's no longer crashing every turn or so. I'm now close to 600 turns into a Huge map and have experienced only two freezes. Keeping my fingers crossed

 

[jenningss]

To delete any and/or all saves I did have to go do the finder search for "saves", and then figure out which of the 4 "save" files it was.

also, since last patch, my games freeze/crash maybe 50% less but on huge it still is too much of a problem. Especially with later game delays between turns.

Hey, I did see over on the PC side that a patch would be forthcoming and that annoyingly slow engine is a top shelf priority.
