Quit pointlessly warns that game may be unsaved, even if it has been just saved


llunak
  • Branch: Live Branch Version: Linux Pending
  • In a game, hit Esc to open the game menu.
  • Click 'Save' (and possibly confirm overwrite).
  • Click 'Quit to Desktop'.
  • There will be a confirmation dialog warning that any unsaved game progress may be lost.

That warning dialog is pointless in this case. The game clearly has been just saved, and the menu pauses the game, so there can't be any unsaved progress. So a player can either learn to always mentally check that yes, the game has been saved, or worse, can learn to always automatically dismiss the dialog, which besides pointless makes it also dangerous in case the game actually has not been saved.

This could be easily saved by having 'bool saved' that's set on every save and reset on every tick. Or least least the menu can remember that save has been invoked and suppress the extra dialog in that case.
