Scores Missing

Your accomplishments get saved only on quit...

KiloByte is right. I had a nasty habit of "killing" the game from the window. Now I close it from the startmenu every time. I'm missing my almost succesful AoB matches :(
JysusCryst:
NOOOOO!!!!
I just lost my first and (so far) only win!
So not fair!
I'm gonna cry...
Is there any way to reload the stats to get it back, or are we all just SOL?
Also:

I agree with this. Would it be to difficult to put a "Are you sure you want to exit? Your highscores will not be saved this way. Please choose "Quit" from the main menu." message when you click the close button??? Or perhaps fixing it so it saves even when 'killing' the window? I'm playing 0.9.8.10. Hopefully it'll get fixed by 0.9.9 or 1.0.0.
*sigh*
Back to regaining my stats...

That would be pretty pointless, as most people click "yes" on such boxes automatically ;).
Also - I was pretty certain that Windows used to pop a warning of its own when you were trying to close an app which was "still running"...

The only thing to "fix" here are bad habits. You DON'T kill console applications by hitting the "X" - you make them close themselves.
You can hide the mouse while playing... or play fullscreen... or simply ponder your loss every time you do such a thing. Either way - you'll learn.
Don't get me wrong - I see a difference between bad UI and bad habits. Then again - it's pointless to write the info to the hard drive ALL THE TIME. It's slow and uses up the drive's durability. That's why the data is (or at least - should be) read once, then resides only in memory and is saved when you don't want to play anymore - when you QUIT. Clicking the "X" is outside of the program itself - it's almost like you'd kill it by the task manager - data loss guaranteed. Do you save a Word document before hitting the "X" ? I don't if there even IS an autosave - it's common sense to SAVE before you leave.

Am I considered a freak because I actually read those messages before clicking?
And trust me, I'm gonna fix this bad habit. I'm using the main menu from now on. Still, a warning before I lost all that info would have been nice.
*sigh*

If I would find a way to intercept the closure in FreePascal before kill that'd be real nice :/
