I'm playing an offline game with 4 players (me and 3 dummies). When I save the game and then reload it, all of the 2nd and 3rd dummy info (decks, hands, and even their player names and seats) is gone. My cards and name, as well as the 1st dummie's are all saved. Basically players 3 and 4 disappear. Is this how it is supposed to happen?

Solitaire was never intended to be robustly implemented, and it was more of an afterthought. But fixing this bug should be pretty easy.

Ok I think I figured out how to make it work.

1. First of all, all game data for all 4 players IS saved.

2. However, to Load up the 4-player saved game I had to make sure I had 4 seats created and filled first (seat 1: Me; seat 2: dummy 1; seat 3: dummy 2: seat 4 dummy 3).

3. The problem (not loading players 3 and 4) happens when I try to load a saved game when only two seats exist. I guess the loaded game doesn't know what to do with the player 3 and 4 info. I assumed it would create 2 new seats and then load the data. It doesn't know how to create 2 new seats.

I hope that description helps.
