Curses! Foiled by Windows Updates...

So earlier on in the evening, I had designed that I would go forth and start another map project tonight.

Truth be told, I laid it out pretty well. Had a few waterfalls pouring into a river that ran to a lake. It was looking pretty good. That's where windows comes in. Remember to save your map. If you don't create an initial save point, then autosave will not be able to save your butt in case of the unforeseen. This is what happened to me. What seems like 10 minutes ago, I told windows I would accept being reminded to restart in 4 hours. The notification comes up and I just ignore it. Ignoring it is probably the worst thing you can do, because eventually, windows will decides it's waited long enough and restart whether or not you want to. So I lost all my progress because the editor wasn't able to handle all of the "save as" windows as it was forcibly closed down by windows update.

So yeah, long story short; Save often, regardless of autosave being on, and don't belittle the wrath of Windows Update.
