594 Saved Games...

[c3k]

...are 593 too many.

I reflexively hit "Save" after every command phase and replay phase. That way I can undo some of the uncommanded features. Plus, when the odd thing happens I have a copy I can send to BF.C, should there be any interest.

However, having 594 save game files points up the dramatic flaw in the menu: a lack of a "Delete" option. I'm using Vista, which tends to hide files quite well. Rather than digging through my folders, it'd be MUCH easier to select the missing "Delete". As well, a multiple selection option would be good.

And while I'm tossing out ideas, instead of "Previous" and "Next" being the only paging options, how about adding a sidebar button to scroll with? A simple click and drag. Ahh.

I won't even mention being able to sort the savegames by date or time instead of name.

Thanks,

I have the same problem with several games that I play.

My solution is to put a shortcut to the saved games folder on my desktop when I am actively playing a game so that I can easily delete the glut of save files.

Pvt. Ryan,

That is a good work-around. I'm embarrassed to say the thought of a desktop shortcut through the labrynthian Vista folder protocol hadn't even occurred to me.

Of course, my call to BF.C to tweak the interface stands. (Stunningly, Stardoc also failed to include a delete option in their game "Sins of a Solar Empire". Perhaps this is the beginning of a poor trend?)

No game-user should have to exit the game's interface to create, load, or delete savepoints. My .02, for free.

Thanks,

Ken
