Spring RTS Engine

i am trying to load a saved game and it wont let me. I am using a thing called spring SP (single player i think) and there isnt a load game button. anyone know how?

you mean watch a replay ?
There is a replay menu in the new version of the SpringSp or you could watch through TASClient too.

i dont believe that it is a replay. i hit the button and it said saving game, so im assuming it saved my game and i dont see any savegame files anywhere.

If you mean games saved through F8, start up spring.exe directly and go to "Load Test" or whatever it's called. You can only have one save game at a time.
