Description
- If you hold down F9 to load a quicksave, there is no prior indication how old that savegame is that you are reverting back to.
- Restoring to a very old quicksave can result in huge loss of your tech tree (+ loss of missions performed, etc...) which can be a demotivator
- there is no "undo the restore to quicksave" or "oops" option after the fact, it is a one-way trip
One possible easy fix = simply write a save point ('priorstate.sfs' or something) before reverting to quicksave. If the user realizes they didn't want to do that, they can switch back. If not required, this just gets overwritten the next time a quicksave is loaded (i.e. you're not spamming a folder full of autosave files, if that's a concern).
Thanks, cheers
