Read/Write - Save Progress

[Boop]

"question was born, because player lost his progress if game closed." Did he delete the file?

The whole point is to keep the data saved after the game closes. You don't even need a file if don't want to preserve the information after the game closes.

I tried crashing the game on purpose, and the file is still there.

You don't even need a file if you want to force everyone to restart.

yup, i know, but...

hm. if player finish stage 1, he can see stage 2, but after game closed , player must play stage 1 again to reach another stages.

Did he delete the file?

that looks like the progress automatically reset, if game closed.
player dont need to delete to lose progress. just reboot lf2.exe and he will play like first time launch - from 1st stage only

There is a problem here, it ALWAYS writes 10 to the file... It's something to do with the WinAPI's.
