No save/ load after the latest update w/ new game start

[der_kaeptn]

Hey folks,

after the latest update this morning the game does not generate a save when starting a new game. The autosave message appears in the top right but it does not generate a file that can be loaded from the main menu.
Can not use the save button in the menu either due to error message "Invalid save location name! Please wait for the backup to complete in the top right corner of the screen."

Just checked - In the savegame folder there is a savegame fie available from the latest autosave so it does generate the save file but it is not accessible in the main menu.

Anyone else having this? Any workarounds to resolve this yet?

Yeah i noticed that yesterday... Thought it was just because of the update sometimes loading saves isn't a good idea.. Just tried now and sure enough I have to start a new game.

No issue here, did you click "Load" under "Play"?

Same problem! And there's also a lowercase dash in the nickname. I think there's a problem with that!

Респект дружище! Раз десять перезапускал игру, в упор не видел что там есть поле для ввода текста)) Совсем другое дело теперь, воркает!

Same problem for me and I have a dash on the nickname as well

Using other characters than letters and numbers seems to cause issues.

Work around: Provide a game name in the "start new game" dialog (top line) with only a-z and numbers. Failure to provide a game name leads the game to use your nickname, which, if it uses other than a-z and 0-9, makes for problems. I tried to use lower dash in a game name and everything looks fine until you try to save manually or check the savegame folder.
