Turn Compression

[Longshanks]

I've never been able to get the Turn Compression/Password feature under Options/Media to work. If I enter a password and hit enter, nothing happens, it just sits there. It doesn't create a zipped file ... nada.

Any tips?

I'm on 1.16rc4a

I think it "only" compresses the file ansd puts on the password.

If you try to open the .ord file with notepad, you will see garbage, as it is compressed.

I know it's working, because one of the recent bug report saves came to me compressed and protexted

...the tooltip is somewhat misleading...

OK, so if I type in the password but cannot hit Enter, it should be working anyway if I read you correctly.

I expected to have to hit "Enter" for the pw to stick, but it seems that's not the case.

Thanks!

Don't forget the password

IIRC, your game will "remember" the password until you go to the entry and re-enter. ...thus you may not have to reenter it every turn....

...but I'm in "foggy memory" mode, as it's been a while

BTW, you can also enter no password at all just to get the compression, thus never endangering losing or forgetting the password, it that is your need.

My anti-virus program then complains that all the save files are de-compression bombs
