Please please please can we get the save feature already?

you got a point there, lets drop this

haha yeah, we might be a little off topic

Replays don't store the whole game at the moment. The server would need to upload a full copy to the clients. In addition, you would need a server willing and able to accept a frame from a full replay and start the game from that point.

The fact replays play accurately (they didn't completely in alpha) confirm the fact they are self sufficient in stored information to accurately impart match information at any moment of the replay.

The feature may come later due to prioritization. I still think pausing simulation would be more entirely possible added in as soon as tomorrow. Loading saved games from replays could be implemented soon, just allow client to save replay files, and then be able to upload them in a new section for it that is like the system manager section, then create game from loaded point in a match instead of from a system.

Still, it would be interesting to hear what Uber's progress with this is. Have they tried it yet and what are the results when they try it on their end? If there is a problem when they attempt to do it, how do they plan on getting it to work?

Evidence?

Hmm, thanks, good to be back on topic!

Isn't the topic basically done thought? What more is there to it other than "It's been the plan since early on and is being worked on please be patient."?

Yea that the end of it,

Lol that isn't a Chronocam error. I had it happen to me in live game.


It was beautiful. It was the commander with the periscope aerial on the top. So the AI commander appeared to dive, dive dive! away from my army, then resurfaced out of the lunar sea in front of my commander for a duel. Submarine warfare at its best.

Save/Load requires a server. Players don't have the server. Yet.

So does loading a planet system. Except it will accept an input. When they want to test it they could make it a place for players to upload a replay file.

a Save system is pointless right now your save would not work after a bigger Update too many things getting added and changed.

Irrelevant to whether I agree or not, your argument is flawed. If you want to persuade/debate with someone you should come up with some reasoning that isn't full of holes.

lets see if there would be a save now

you save the game

the update that reworks the whole orbital thing comes also the units

load ( error ) or a billion of texture bugs after load or some of your units are missing....

with the amount of changes that will happen and coming the save files sure as hell would break

these aren't small patches they are doing.

How about needing to go in the middle of a game. You save it and then resume playing an hour/day later.

The point your making is that patches will break saves. That doesn't count as a reason for not implementing a save game feature, and it doesn't mean saving will be useless.

I'm quite happy for patches to break the saves during beta, but at least there would be a few weeks of being able to save in between,

would hope that updates or mods would not break saves. Minecraft doesn't load entities in saves that are no longer found in version. Id hope the save would just load minus the missing content.

Yea that would be fine, at least it would be playable (ish)
