Why are my saved games hidden?

[Quintus Dias]

So hello, I want to find my saves folder and delete a lot of my saves cause I have like 500 saves and it's kind hard to scroll down to get to one save without scrolling past it cause I have so many, so it isn't in my RTW saves folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Rome - Total War\saves" and I tried looking everywhere else and couldn't find it, so can someone give me a clue or answer to were as I might find them? And I've looked at some RTW topics on this issue and couldn't find the saves folder.

Is there no search function on your pc?

Anyways - you can delete save games also from the game - highlight one and instead of
load or save; delete.

Did you unhide all files, folders, and drives in Folder Options first?

My guess as you installed to the program files folder is that saves will be in the 'appdata/virtual store'.

As irishron has suggested make sure that you change your folder options to show hidden files and folders.

Then look for the appdata. Either run %appdata% and then follow the logical path or look for it manually. It's probably going to be c:\Users\'your account'\AppData\Roaming\Activision\Rome - Total War......

You should not have to unhide all the folders it's done in one place in the folder options in the Control Panel and the 'View Tab'.

What operating system are you using? Windows Vista/7/8 or something else?

Windows 7, hey btw can you spare a tiny bit of your time and help me with my faction mod that I'm doing? Like can you introduce me to what I have to do, like get me started?

I'm not a modder in any shape or form.

The details and any technical backup should be available in the Rome Workshop part of this forum.
