lost save
« on: February 08, 2008, 01:45:00 am »

Any game i start i generate the world as normal, start the game, start building my base, leave and save. Quit the game, and no matter how i try to exit whenever i start it back up the old world is gone and i have to start again. I'm sure im just making a stupid noob mistake, but i cant find it. Tried searching forums etc. I have the version released on feb 4th.

Also on a side note the wiki page mentions being able to turn off immigration. Specifically for the "Assassin" game goal where you only have the 7 dwarfs you start with. How do you turn off immigration?

So after you save and quit normally, is there anything in your data/save/current folder?  Or your data/save/<region> folder?  What OS is this?  There was somebody having Vista store them off in some folder way off somewhere.  I don't recall which one.  I'm not sure how Vista handles logins/accounts etc.
