Saving MP games?
Saving MP games?
Is this theoretically possible? Are there any games where you can save an MP game and take it up where you left off? Would this be on anyone's wish list?
Re: Saving MP games?
You already can save MP games, but you can't host an MP game using a saved game.
It would be great for resuming games after someone crashed or dropped, primarily. Just being able to save and continue games would be nice too but not as important.
I don't think it would be trivial to add this, so other things get done first. The UI would have to be changed, and the host has to send the 10MB saved game to all players. It's certainly doable but probably not a priority.
Meanwhile you can dump the scenario file from an MP game, and put that into a new scenario and pick up where you left off. Only thing is the fatigue, morale, orders and such are lost or changed. (The scenario file doesn't record full precision for fatigue and morale.)
