Only One Autosave

[Сталкер]

Here's a problem that bothers me greatly. I searched the forums to see if anyone has had the same issue, but found nothing.

When I start a new game or play a custom dungeon the game will autosave. The problem is that it will overwrite my autosave of the main campaign, and not give the new game or custom dungeon it's own autosave. This means I must start over or begin from my last hard save file.

Is it just me, or is this a known issue? It doesn't appear to be listed as a current bug. Can it be fixed?

I have never considered this a "bug" or even a problem. I always "hard" save my game when I'm going to actually quit playing. At the very least do a quicksave, then if you remember you can load the quicksave and do a hard save then start the new dungeon again

Yup, same happend to me. Well i lost just 45minutes of compaign progress BUT this is an unexpected behaviour, as other systems/games distinguish between different autosaves(map or even time based)

Just overriding a savestate of another mapset without questioning is quite critical in my opinion.

BTW: When saving manually, its possible to select the autosave(what i did accidentally). The game doesnt prevent you from doing so, but when loading a different map-set, its gone.

EDIT: wow, windows allowed me to reset the file to the previous version(my correct savestate). lucky

I can't see an issue here. The Autosave feature is a quicksave/quickload slot when you don't want to go to the menu and use the regular Save/Load feature including all the naming/renaming/selection stuff. Good example to use the Autosave are timed/difficult puzzles or tough battles.

Now when you end a game to start a new one you usually try to get into a spot without imminent danger and use the regular save including a save game name so you know where you left off.
