I have autobackup on (just in case)
Now my loading screen is littered with autobackup saves, a regional save, and what appears to be the 'real save' in random order.
How do I find out what is the latest save ?
-
If I see it correctly from my own region folder (without autobackup) the correct one would be called
world.sav

The save without the "-*season*-*year" at the end of it's name is always the most recent one.

Right, that's what I supposed as well, but in that case my save must be failing sometimes as this is often not the case, i.e. there are backup saves that are of a later date than the 'real' save.

If you don't make sure to always save when you can end up losing track of which one is right, because if you use a save from an autosave, it will start making autosaves that are like region x - season - year - season - year
and so on. i'd imagine it gets worse but i gave up on finding my ral save and deleted them all.

I tend to compress (winRAR) & delete my autobackup folders.
I also tend to rename them to "Fortress-Year-Month#" cos the seasons don't really sort usefully...
