Are you loading a saved game? try starting a new game and save over your save file then try to load from the title again.

So it turns out that the script work just fine. I tested it on other project and it's working
I am doing something wrong..
Very nice script anyway! thank you again!

Script updated. Removed 1 save slot restriction.
Now works for as many save slot as you want.
When auto loading, it will load the newest save file.
