AutoSave Disable Broken.
ADOM 3.3.3 ASCII on Windows XP

Autosave is a great idea, but since it locks up the game instead of saving in the background, it's a long tedious wait everytime.

I want to disable Autosave, but the 0 disable setting HAS NO EFFECT, it continues autosaving.

Then I tried setting 9999 turns, and it still saves and delays far too often, such as on EVERY stair climb or descend (level 21 character, only 18 levels deep into Caverns of Chaos). Would you make the maximum autosave turns setting 9,999,999 turns (instead of 9,999) please?

I've tried setting 2000, 9999, 10000, 0, with both in-game = key option, AND by directly editing adom.cfg when the game isn't running... yet all settings still cause ADOM to autosave way, way, WAY too often!
I want to spend my free time playing, not constantly staring and waiting!

You need to adjust the interval with the :S command. Autosave interval can be different for different saves, so the configuration setting is only going to affect new characters.

Probably learned it from someone else :-) . For the record, it is in the command list, under the F1-F7 commands for directly setting tactics.
