HoI 4 - Autosave Interval bug

[FIzzle_Fuze]

Description of issue
Autosave Interval bug

Game Version
1.11.9.e52a (3f99)

Enabled DLC
Together for Victory, Death or Dishonor, Waking the Tiger, Man The Guns, La Resistance, Battle for the Bosporus, No Step Back

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Description
The option for changing the auto save interval doesn’t work at all. The game seems to auto save every couple of months which is really annoying because it lags/interrupts the UI. It is brief but lasts long enough for a mouse click to fail.

Any advice how to get around this one? I wouldn’t even mind disabling auto save altogether if that works.

I’m playing iron-man mode, though it shouldn’t break my option.

Steps to Reproduce
Start a new game (as soviet union) with default options. Change autosave frequency in options menu.

I would rephrase the bug. Your issue is specifically that you can't disable monthly auto saves in iron man.

The iron-man mode does not use the full auto save system on purpose because saving very frequently would make it much easier to revert mistakes by just killing the game and loading the last save. And in non-iron-man, the settings work fine

I completely disagree. The issue specifically is that the options in the UI have no impact on what happens, with no indication of such. If not a bug, that is poor design.

The iron-man mode saves far too frequently. I was trying to turn it down/off. It's time consuming, annoying, and as you've pointed out, works against the iron-mode concept when a bit of "outside of the box thinking" is applied.

Euhm… got it on weekly save. Yes it freezes the screen for less than a second. But believe me, more then worth it! Saved me many mistakes with clicking and replaying the whole run. Like bitmode is saying… with this frequent save it’s easy to go back a few days to remove the mistake(s).

To my believe you can set it weekly or monthly.

So I wonder what your issue is.
1) the freeze of the screen
2) not able to set it to weekly or monthly

Disabling the save makes it very easy to cheat to my believe and that’s something you/we all don’t want (should be some kind of challenge in iron man for achievements etc etc)
