A very weird bug with save/loading!

from Elemental Forums

I've started the campaign, and the first thing I did was to save the game. I named the save as "1". I'm alone, near the sunken boat.

 

I go to the main menu, then load that save file...

 

And it seems it loaded a completely different game! I'm in another place in the map, with a town, another unit and such.

 

What happened here?!

 

And btw, I couldn't start a new campaign. I pressed the button and nothing happens. It seems we're back to beta, when we had to exit the game before loading a saved one.

UPDATE

 

More weirdness!

 

Started a new campaign, advanced about 10 turnos, saved.

 

When loading the saved game, it loads the same weird saved game I've told about above!

 

It's as if Elemental didn't save my game, just created a previous saved game from someone else!

 

And more weirdness: The autosave and the previous autosave loads diferent games! The last one where I'm in turn 1895 (or something)!!!

 

It happens all the time!

 

I can't play the game, it just doesn't save the game, it replaces with someone else's saved games!!!

 

Help please.

ROFL.

For some ... insane reason, you have to load campaign saves from the campaign menu - NOT the load game menu.

That was it. Not very intuitive and I'm still wondering what are those 3 saved games and where did they came from. :D

 

Anyway, it loaded fine from the campaign menu. Thanks TheProgress :)

Campaigns saves are loaded from the campaign screen. The normal load screen only shows sandbox saves, so that's what you'll be getting if you load from there.

Thanks, that was cleared. But I'm still wondering what those sandbox saves appeared from. It was a fresh install and for every save in campaign mode, apears one with the same name in the sandbox load menu, although it loads completely diferent games, never played in my computer. :)
