Feature Request: "Continue Latest Game" option in launcher

Post by Molle »

((I don't know if this is the place to post feature requests, but I cannot find any subforums dedicated to that so here goes. If there is indeed another space for requests, please let me know and I'll repost there.))

I propose an option in the launcher to go straight to the latest save file and continue playing from there. I assume that is by far the most common choice made by players on launching the game, and would be a welcome quality-of-life improvement over the current clicking through multiple levels of menus and loading dialogues.

There are only 2 clicks to get to the saved game list...

Click SIngle Player then Load Game
or click Multiplayer and select Hotseat/PBEM. You'll get the saved games.

There are some of us that have more than one campaign/single/multi-player game going.
I don't want OOB to pre-select a save which is not the one I want to resume.

Well obviously I am aware of the procedure for getting to and selecting a saved game (although you missed the "Mod Launcher" step where we need to choose between the original game and the Battle of Britain mod). I also realize there are players that have multiple games going in parallel. My point is that I assume the most common user choice is to continue the latest save, and it would be a nice quality-of-life improvement to be able to do that from the launcher menu.
