畃牲湥⁴慓敶猀❮⁴桴楈桧䔠晬眠 -Save5
慍湩儠敵瑳甀汩d潍湲湩瑓牡攀 -Save0

Re: Weird save game name issue
Wow, that is weird, that has never happened to me. I suppose you could just remember which slot has which game?
BTW, Google translate claims that the first one means "Sun offerings Tu the the ⁴ Piaozhen Sha ❮ the ⁴ rafter Xu Hui 䔠 Zui Mian" and the second is "The bland Tongladicuo Zhui confused d Wei torrential Breast - feeding Lian Mu climb", so it's not much help. And "torrential breast-feeding" sounds like a superpower from an uber-feminist comic.

Re: Weird save game name issue
More boringly, it looks like Save5 is "Current Save" and Save0 isrpbraley868 wrote:So i was going to move my save games around and ive come across a strange issue.........half my save game names are written in.... Chinese?

"Main Quest".
Your first line 畃牲湥⁴慓敶猀❮⁴桴楈桧䔠晬眠 encoded as ucs-2
(how windows generally encodes unicode) is (byte by byte, in hex):
43 75 72 72 65 6e 74 20 53 61 76 65 00 73 6e 27
74 20 74 68 65 20 48 69 67 68 20 45 6c 66 20 77
but this (in ascii) is just
Current Save\0sn't the High Elf w
(where \0 is a byte with value zero, used to terminate strings in c),
so this save was most recently saved as "Current Save".
Similar for Save0.
It looks like you may be viewing the saved-name file in an editor
that expects ucs-2, or you copied it with a copier that expects the same
thing.

Re: Weird save game name issue
Ah! thanks lol
I just opened the file in notepad (which was its default) and some of them were in english. Odd that they were different.
I had no idea that you could tell all that just by the save name
