Bit of a weird one. Since the latest loader updates I have noticed that the Central Scotland sim I am playing has not been saving snapshots every ten minutes as before. As the saves were created before the update I wondered if this was the cause. However, to prove the theory, I started a fresh instance of Central Scotland and found that snapshots were not being saved by that either. To check if it was a universal problem, I then tried a different sim (Doncaster Station) and found that this saved the snapshots successfully. Manual saves are saved ok. Not sure if it is relevant, but in the loader the sim is entitled Central Scotland, however the sim folder in File Explorer is Cscot. Log in to reply |

Please can you attempt the same and see how you get on? Cheers  Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Log in to reply |

If you do a fresh install of Simsig and then check for updates and attempt the steps above please. Cheers

Very weird. I renamed the cscot folder and started a new instance of the sim to get it to create a new cscot folder and lo and behold the snapshot saved!! Log in to reply |

I think in your folder screenshot the 'Date' is the date created, not the date modified. So if you've run a game before, it will overwrite the old file but still show the original 'created' date. Try reloading a snapshot of a time that "should" have saved and see if it's your test run or an older game. Alternatively, you can use the folder options to sort by date modified.

Snapshots were working ok up until the 15th when they stopped working. Log in to reply |
