Hi,
Autosaves are silently ignored(not created at all) probably because the steam username contains invalid characters
Back when you could set a profile name, I could use that to circumvent the issue, but now you can't anymore.
A possibility would be to add a check to the steam username before adding it to the autosaves filename and strip all invalid characters
Alternatively, if the steam username is invalid, just create generic autosaves
Alternatively, creating autosaves tied to current game/scenario/country instead of generic autosaves could be a nice improvement.
As it is, my steam username blocks autosaves from being created at all
( https://steamcommunity.com/id/whispershill/ )
I'll add that it is unpractical of me to change it, due to belonging to a clan.
Thanks.

Re: [BUG]Autosaves & steam username
This might be fixed in 9.2.3, it's hard to test all the permutations of usernames that could exist.
