no, I'm using steam. on second thought, perhaps it's that final hotfix I'm using? but I'm pretty sure ive NEVER seen the game ask me "save and continue" before. edit: until about 2 minutes ago at least.
Just reloaded Steam and it didn't do an update. I also confirmed that the version I'm running is 1.1.1, so it doesn't appear that it's on Steam yet. I'll check tomorrow.
oh, I just realized that this game I was playing did I was not playing on perma-death. that would explain that. sadness :<
