rogue189 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I started playing the American campaign yesterday, but found that the game would not override the save file if I used the same file name. I accidently started with a real-time game, but then switched to turn based. I played the first mission for about 15 minutes and kept saving with the same file name, but when I reloaded the game, it was back to turn one of my real-time game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty's Mighty Moustache Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) I had this on CMRT and thought it was down to Fire and Rubble. Will need to try it with CW MMM Edited May 1, 2021 by Monty's Mighty Moustache 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RigTom Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 The Game creates tmp-Files in the “Documents\...\Cold War” Folder. I copied the latest tmp File to the “Saved Games” Folder and renamed it from *.tmp to *.bts. So I saved my last planning phase of 2 hours I hope it helps Thomas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try deleting your save file first via Explorer and then saving under the same name via the game.

FYI: @Monty's Mighty Moustache, @umlaut, @RigTom In the biz we call that a workaround. It’s a naff one but I suppose it does work. I for one won’t be using it, I don’t want to have to switch over to the Explorer and delete the save game every time I want to save when it used to handle it for me perfectly well before. 90% of the time I would forget anyway MMM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not angry, not even mildly miffed, it’s true what they say about tone being lost when you write on the internet, it was intended to be tongue in cheek but clearly that was lost so apologies. But I stand by that it’s a rubbish way to have to do things, I’d rather it was patched MMM Edited July 12, 2021 by Monty's Mighty Moustache 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergeantSqook Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I've had a similar issue and running the game .exe as administrator seemed to fix it. Only seems to happen with Fire and Rubble and Cold War so seems to be something with the most recent versions of the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The patch was rolled out a while ago and we had to wait for F&R for Red Thunder to be brought up to the same version but it works on the other games so not sure what is causing it. I’m not expecting it to be fixed tbh unless it’s a really easy one that as soon as the devs heard about it they thought, “Aaah I know what has caused that”. If it was more of a “how has that happened?” reaction then I don’t see them investing too much time into looking into it as it’s hardly game-breaking and isn’t affecting too many of us. You never know though, so fingers crossed. MMM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some minor differences with RT and CW compared to the others, the pause/play button on the UI now lights up either symbol depending on whether the game is paused or playing, tabbing out seems to work a little different from the others (my example being that if I hit end turn on one of the "older" games, when I tab back in it'll be paused at the start of the turn replay, but on RT or CW, it will have started playing the turn out) and the needing to run as admin to overwrite saves are what I've noticed so far. I expect the former is minor enough to not be worth a patch for the other games and the latter probably unintended quirks of some update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same problem with the Steam edition of CMBS and that's the best answer I got in the picture. Best thing to do is create a ticket reporting the issue here : https://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com The more times it shows up on the helpdesk, the more widespread it looks to the devs. They wont fix it if they dont know about it or think its not prevalent enough. Ive made a ticket abotu it some times ago but will make a new one again with the new info collected, good luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shepherd74 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 The ox is slow and the earth is patient. Please accept my apology Senior Member Humble Opinion. In my zeal to research my own vexing save issue with Cold War I neglected to check the time stamps of this thread. Sadly I think my brain has become addled in my old age. Four months later and Battlefront is telling me they have never heard of this issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
