For the record, the quote here ("overwriting doesn't actually remove the original file before it's replaced") is correct (depending on how the OS and game is programmed), it just doesn't cause any problems. That then morphed into the act of overwriting itself doing the damage. Minor variation from 4 months ago: O K, I am aware that if you keep using quick saves, they "degrade" in some manner.Īctually looking at the first link, I think the advice may have originally been something like don't delete/overwrite previous saves, so you will still have them if later saves become corrupt/problematic. Overwriting old saves CAN corrupt some or all your saves! So I'm calling old wive's tale on this myth.Įdit/Update: Thought I'd add a few examples: So if overwriting a save file is the exact same as creating a new savefile (file system- and savefile content-wise), what is the alleged mechanism for overwritten savefiles getting corrupted?Įmpirically, I've played where every save is a new save and I've played where I overwrite the same ~5 slots over and over and haven't seen any difference in terms of stability. just having overwriting a save file be the exact same as saving a new file.

That would take a ridiculously long time to complete (overwriting a save file would take 10 or 100 times longer than a new save) and be a major pain in the ass to code vs. The game doesn't keep the existing file in place and then go in and modify some percentage of the file while leaving old bits behind that gradually cause issues. When you "overwrite" a savegame, it's the same as your word processor overwriting a file - the old file is deleted and a new file with the same name is created. The problem is: I don't see any reason how/why this would be true.
This belief is treated as gospel - no one questions it, and it has been passed on from generation to generation since the first bomb of the Great War hit its target. They will get corrupted (more and more with each overwritten save), and you will eventually regret it. r/galaxynewsradio - Fallout-sounding musicįor years I've read that you are risking your in-game life by overwriting previous game save files. r/falloutcosplayers - Fallout-related cosplay r/Wasteland - A subreddit for the Wasteland games. r/thefalloutdiaries - Journal-like fan fiction. r/falloutmods - Fallout modding community r/classicfallout - Classic Fallout Games
