PSA: "continue" on the main menu loads the auto-save, not your manual save

[StargazingDog]

I was growing increasingly confused at coming back to the game, pressing "continue", and having to repeat actions that I know I performed before I manually saved and quit. It turns out that "continue" simply loads the most recent auto-save. I expected it to load the most recent save, period.

Auto-saves are saved at the start of a turn. Manual saves can be anytime. I tend to manually save after I am finished with my turn, but before clicking "end turn".

So, if you are like me, and manually save your game before clicking "end turn", you need to explicitly load that save next time. If you quit at the very beginning of a turn, you would likely never notice the difference.

I believe Civ 6 always loaded your most recent save if you pressed "continue". I'd love to see that implemented here.

Yes, of course that is what it should do! How did they manage to screw this up?!

Lol, same happened to me a couple of times before I realized what was going on

I'd glad you pointed this out. I had noticed this oddity as well but I didn't realize the specifics of loading the most recent autosave.

That has to be an easy fix that can be in the next patch right?

Yep, I used “Continue” once and realised how stupid it was and always manually loaded my game since.

It is actually impressive how the most basic features like this made it to launch still broken.
