What's wrong with autosaves? There are only 4 slots for them and they are always on the top!

I think you answered it yourself:

I'd really like to have more. The number should be made a CVAR.

That would help with the wierd thing that happens to me where ZDoom has to be reinstalled every time I accidentally do that. Maybe that problem is just me. Also, fix that bug when you delete the saved game that ZDoom freezes

The advice about how to disable them was wrong. I can't check the actual values ATM, but there is a console command/ ini option called disableautosave (or similar). By default this is set to 0 (ie don't disable). If you set it to 1, it disables something and 2 disables even more. I *think* 1 disables the autosaving at the start of a level, but will still autosave if a map author has used an autosave line type or script. Setting it to 2 means autosaving will never happen. At least I think that's it.

So he wants to disable autosaves because there isn't enough of them? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

The opposite can be true: 4 slots can be too much for some people.

Why does deleting a saved game screw up ZDoom?

Yep, well im not completely out of it, and i checked on the Wiki

disableautosave

1. On
2. Only when required (some PWADs like to autosave in the middle, ZDCMP 1 had this)
3. Never


I set it to 3 and im fine, i save frequently enough anyways.
