About the Auto-Save Feature:The 'auto-save' feature does not take care of saving your game as such, it just creates an 'emergency back-up' file of sorts that the game does not 'look' at when reloading your current game. To make sure your game is safely saved, it will need to be manually saved.
Please note: They do not use the auto save file anymore. It is safe to delete.
