Bug - Not A Bug Mafia does not save settings in unexpected shutdown

[Cool12309]

Quite annoying, and I know that you'll just say "Ohh, well just don't make it not unexpectedly shutdown" but you could just save the file when a preference is changed.

Preferences > General > 5th option in the list

The default value for saveSettingsOnSet (Preferences -> General -> Save options to disk whenever they change) is true. Unless you've changed that setting, mafia should already be doing what you're asking for.

Read the sticky. It is not "annoying" if mafia doesn't have the feature that you want (which it does).

I have the option on, but it did not save. This was not just a mafia shutdown, my laptop died.

 

[Veracity]

You misunderstand. If you have the option on, it saves after each and every time a setting changes.

Now, if your OS is caching the disk writes and not actually saving to disk, that is a problem with your OS, not with KoLmafia.

Nowadays, there are also caches in hardware. Do those guarantee that data will be written in case of power loss? I suspect you don't get that unless you are buying very expensive stuff.
