GG Life v0.7.59 — Save Reliability Update

This update fixes two save-related problems that could cause lost progress or prevent players from deleting a save.

Saves that quietly failed

Windows can occasionally lock a save file while antivirus software, OneDrive, Steam Cloud, or another background process is accessing it.

Previously, GG Life could continue as though the save had succeeded. You could then quit the game, return later, and discover that your dynasty had rolled back by several hours.

• Blocked saves are now automatically retried. This should resolve almost every temporary file-locking issue.
• You will now be warned if a save genuinely cannot be written. No more finding out only after restarting the game.
• The same protection applies when closing the game. The final save is also retried and checked.

Deleted saves returning from Steam Cloud

Deleting a save previously removed the local file but left its Steam Cloud copy untouched. Steam could then download the cloud copy again, causing the deleted save slot to immediately return.

• Deleting a save now removes both the local file and its Steam Cloud copy.
• Once a save is deleted, it should stay deleted.

Thank you to everyone who reported these problems and helped us track them down.
