When progress is saved

The patch stops writing server and local saves during a crash. Normal writes happen when using Save, returning to the main menu or quitting; autosaves continue once per minute.

Checking a save before loading also addresses placeholder servers appearing under the default game name. Later patches add backups and Steam Cloud support.
