Real-Time Auto Save

Description
Description
Allows you to configure auto-saves to happen on a real-time interval rather than an in-game time interval (default is 10 minutes). That way if you're working on some complex planning while the game is paused, it will still be saved every so often in case you get a BSOD or something (Windows 10 amiright?)

Compatibility
Use at your own risk!! I am not responsible if your auto-saves aren't working and your game crashes and you lose hours of progress.

Ok, but in my case it also tries to do it in the main menu. And I don't think it's saving while I'm in the ideology or any other menu ingame either. I mean something feels off now, I don't remember it was the case in 1.5. Of course it can be my fault as well, I'm playing will a lot of mods, maybe they are breaking something. I will do some more tests.

@lloki So it's only during gameplay? In that case, that's intentional. As long as it's only doing it as often as you configured it to. Spending a lot of time in a menu with the game paused is basically the reason I made this mod. You'll still get auto saves even with the game paused so you don't lose whatever you were doing in the menu.

I guess it's harmless?

Ok, so it looks like it's checking every 5 seconds whether it's time to autosave? Not sure, but I think it's when the time to autosave passed and the user is in some menu, eg. ideoligion edit. I don't remember this behaviour from the past, but maybe I missed it. Is it intended?

[Real-Time Auto Save] TryAutosave called.

[Real-Time Auto Save] TryAutosave skipped.

[Real-Time Auto Save] Set timer for 5000

[Real-Time Auto Save] TryAutosave succeeded.

Thanks for so quick answer. I can't replicate it now only with this mod enabled. I will do some more tests and let you know.

@lloki Like it pops up and says "Saving..." when you're not even playing the game, like on the title screen or something? Does it do this only with certain other mods enabled?

Somehow it's constantly trying to save in the main menu?

This mod is great if you want to play absolutely hardcore, no quiting or save-scuming a situation just so you can revert back 10 mins of work.

I can't thank you enough for this mod. I have so many mods that my game screen will freeze (game still runs) and I have to Task Manager my way out. I've lost so many random encounters as a result of having to default to the previous autosave AND Rim's autosave intervals are kinda bunk. You deserve a lifetime supply of Nerds gummy clusters

S-tier mod.
