[P0RT] Admiral_H_Nelson Players 3,938 posts 23,206 battles Report post #1 Posted October 18, 2019 Dear Wargaming, Please leave my settings alone. I choose a particular port because that is the port that I want to have. Please stop changing it whenever you feel like it when you create some new event/arc. (Or at least give players the option to keep the port that they want) 18 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cambera_1 Players 1,018 posts 23,940 battles Report post #11 Posted October 18, 2019 Could be worse... They could have set the Halloween port as the 'forced' port. So this time I am grateful...

I was not able to find my port (Spaceport) as an option. Maybe I just looked in wrong place. Still I would really do not mind if they would not change it.

Personally I don't mind the switching of ports too much, but I still hate the fact that WG will keep on deleting replays unless I babysit them. So now I have to start the executable only after I've run a customised batch file that puts all replay files into another directory in order to protect them. And I don't like having to babysit a program that is supposed to be entertainment. Feels a little bit like paying a taxicab driver and then having to walk home anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a mod/setting in Aslain's that does this for you, if you want. Basically it removes the limited amount of replays stored, so it will just keep everything, like before. I'm not sure, but I think it also gives the option to save them into a custom directory. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason my files were sooner or later deleted regardless of what method I tried. The only 100% safe way is to back them up manually and at least doubleclicking a batch file is still a lil bit easier than the drag and drop stuff. But still, regardless of what method to use now, everything was better before WG applied this invasive change. It still bothers me, so I still feel negative about it. Thanks for the suggestion though. I've been meaning to install aslains anyway but for the halloween 2017 port which hasn't been updated to the current patch yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
