sorry for the dumb question..

[arran]

My girlfriend and I have just bought Half Life 2, our first PC game. Please can someone tell me how we can each save our own separate game. My girlfriend started playing the game first. When I started playing the following day, the game automatically saved my game and seemed to delete her save files.

Surely there must be a way to save two separate game files. Please help! Thanks.

Instead of quicksaving, manually save by going to the menu and pressing the "save game" button. Likewise, manually load. This should keep your two games seperate.

For what I know, no you can't.

jsut be sure to remember which are your saves- the little picture helps.

I'd rather just have sex with her, but meh :|

That makes a lot of sense. so is there anyway to turn off the auto save?

 

[Que-Ever]

There's probably a console command somewhere, like sv_autosave 0 or something like that, or you might have to go into the .ini file...

 

[Noobulon]

I find this really annoying actually. The autosaves seem to wipe over older save games unpredictably, so my mates lost all their progress. Bah.

 

[ComradeBadger]

There is no .ini file, only .cfgs - however a console command should work fine.

If you'd like me to walk you through turning off auto save I can

 

[arran]

Thanks for all of the help. a walk through turning off auto save would be greatly appreciated.

To turn off the autosaves first find the config file named config.cfg - You can find it at:

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\Your Username\Half-Life 2\hl2\cfg\

Scroll to the bottom and add the line -

sv_autosave 0

Save and exit

 

[ComradeBadger]

Ok, go to your Steam Directory (Mine is C:\Valve\Steam , but yours could be in program files) go to 'SteamApps', then the folder that is your steam username (mine is comradebadger - but yours could be anything ) , then 'half-life 2', after that 'hl2', then the folder named 'cfg' and create a new notepad document, name it autoexec.cfg, then open in in notepad.. and type sv_autosave 0 then save and close.



EDIT: CURSES BEATEN ;(
