Saving the last selected config, map etc.

Post by c0debreak »

Hi,

I really hope warzone would save the game config, when I start a skirmish game.

Like map, power config, the team each computer player is in, etc.

Why not save the game just as it starts?
Moving back instead of forward
Seems to me absurd

Well, this feature could be useful for multiplayer too ...

Some of the config is already saved, but there are many bugs that cause things to reset to defaults (like map selection, etc).

IMHO it would be better waiting until we have a decent GUI system in place before resolving these issues (much as they bug me).

+1 for concentrating on the the GUI system, I have always thought that this as well as having the ability to run WZ from a dedicated server are should be priorities (IMO of course).

In regards to bugs, I notice that sometimes if you are joining a game and someone beats you to it while it is loading and you get booted out the next game you host will have the settings of the game you got booted from, even the game name/description.
