Autosave feature

[Player]

How do I enable autosaves.

I found how to add an autosave feature at http://www.gamewinners.com/Cheats/index.php/Venetica_(PC) but where on the PC hard drive for Windows 7 is this keybind.ini file? I found a keybind.ini in Steam\SteamApps\common\Venetica but is that the right one? The site at gamewinners references modifying a save game but this keybind.ini is not a savegame, it is dated the same as when I installed Venetica.

Thank you in advance.

Keybinds.ini is located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Venetica"
You found the correct one.

[F5] creates quicksave 1
[F6] creates quicksave 2

[F9] loads quicksave 1
[F10] loads quicksave 2

[F12] toggles the HUD on and off

You can also remove the leading "//" from the line with "KC_RETURN", which will make the [Enter] key skip cutscenes.

Good info. I didn't think this game supported quicksaves. I wonder why they disabled it by default.

Edit: Apparently, it's not disabled, but my first two statements still stand. :-)

Is autosave really disabled in the steam version?

Because the retail version has autosave. It was saving so often that players complained how often the game autosaved.

And I think they toned it down a bit because the often saves increased the crash probability on the machines back then in 2009.

The game saves automatically when you enter an indoor area (house, catacombs, caves). It doesn`t save when you go outdoors and also not in regular intervals. I know this because of the very frequent crashes I had when moving between areas ;)

I am still confused but I think I'm getting closer to understanding.

My keybinds.ini file says this:

// cancel running cutscenes
//KC_RETURN = CutsceneMgr:cancelCutscene()
// makes a screenshot
KC_F8 = makeDefaultScreenShot()
// quicksave (slot 1)
KC_F5 = VeniceApp:quickSaveGame("quicksave_1")
// quicksave (slot 2)
KC_F6 = VeniceApp:quickSaveGame("quicksave_2")
// quickload (slot 1)
KC_F9 = VeniceApp:quickLoadGame("quicksave_1")
// quickload (slot 2)
KC_F10 = VeniceApp:quickLoadGame("quicksave_2")
// toggle hud
KC_F12 = toggleHUD()

Is there anything I need to do to enable quicksaves (I meant quicksaves and not autosaves, sorry for any confusion)? When I press F5 in the game nothing happens.

It doesn't tell you it's made a quicksave, but it has. Just walk a few more steps and press F9 - you'll see the game reset to where you were.

Thank you. That works.
