Savegames

[Tombl]

Hello, I've told it before somewhere but nobody could help me. But now I will try again.

I want to upload my save games to play them on another PC. But, on the one PC there is a map called "Saves" in the main folder. At the PC where I'm trying to find the save game there isn't a folder called saves. Can anyone help me?

Both PC's use vista btw..

I dont know, I use vista, but my saves are in the normal folder under the "Rome Total War" directory. Do you have uac enabled? maybe that changes something? Is this a steam install?

If you load up into the game and find out what the name of the save is you could always do something like this in DOS: DIR C:\[whatever the name of the save is].sav /S
Theoritically it is the same as using the search funtion in windows, but call me crazy, i think it works faster.

the map "saves" will not apear in the Rome:Totalwar folder untill you save a game, or make the map yourself

In other words, just save a game with the version that doesnt have a save and the program will creatge a save folder. I migrate my save games between 2 computers with my memory stick and no problem (but you do need a copy of the game on both computers...).

I've saved many games already but still I can't find any of them. I will try to make a map saves myself and see if the saves appear in it when I save a game

If you are using Windows Vista they may be in you 'profile' somewhere. Just go to 'Start' FIND and do a search like this:

*.sav

And search your whole drive. That will find them and tell you where they are.

Well, if you're using Vista and installed the game into the 'C:\program files (x86)' folder then they go into your 'virtual store'. However, as you've not bothered to tell us which OS you use.....

[Tombl]

I'm not someone who knows very much about computers, I dont't even know what you mean by OS..
It's saved in: C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War
I've tried to search it many times but he just wont find it.
I think I will reinstall it one day because the whole map is way different it doesn't have the map preferences either.

OS = Operating System. Given the path you've supplied it's probably Windows XP rather than Windows Vista.

If the PC that you are trying to find the 'saves' folder doesn't have such a folder then I think someone has deleted it. It may be a 'hidden' folder. I suggest you show 'hidden folders'.

1) On a window for a folder click on tools.
2) Select 'folder options'
3) On the 'View' tab click on 'Show Hidden files and folders'
4) Click 'apply to All Folders' - it's a button at the top

Have a look in your game folder and see if there is a 'saves' folder there.

[Tombl]

No it's Vista, no XP. I have already tried the hidden folders but still they wont appear. I will post a sceenie tonight of my game folder so you can see it yourself

Maybe I will just unistal it and reinstall with BI.exe

[Brusilov]

If you are using Vista it's more likely in "c:\program files (x86)" than "c:\program files". This results in any saves going to the 'virtual store'.

But you need to be more precise with what you are telling us.
