Autosave frequency

How to adjust

from Sins Forums
Since autosaving causes no noticable performance loss when it happens and the average computer has a gajillion gigabytes to spare, I was thinking it would be useful to be able to change how often autosaving is done.  I'd probably set it to every 5 minutes, then clear it out manually every once in a while so disk usage doesn't get excessive.

Is there a way to adjust how often the game autosaves?

You'll want to edit your user.setting file and change:

AutoSaveTickFrequency 900

to

AutoSaveTickFrequency 300



The file can be found as follows:

Vista:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting

XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting

Please note that some of these directories are hidden by default. To unhide them, go to Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View and set yourself to view hidden files and folders.
