Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Which operating system are you using since Windows and Mac store the information in different folders? A saved game folder that hasn't had a game stored in it still has placeholding files. Checking creation dates is a quick way to spot files.

Kyshakk Koan Redstart Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Try searching for the files: "Start->Search->For Files or Folders...", and then type the exact name of one saved game, .sav extension included. I think Jeff's latest games usually save the games in My Documents, but I guess they could have been accidentally misplaced somewhere else.

Curious Artila Kor Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 I already tried that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Skippy the bush kangaroo Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 On the Mac they are stored in folders called "Save0" through "Save19" with individual files called things like "data", "header", "items" and "journal". These files reside in the "Avernum 4 Files" folder which is in the same place as the application. Maybe that will help you with tracking it down on "the other platform".

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Windows version should have them in My Documents. It should be fairly obvious as a named folder with Avernum 4 and the 20 save folders inside it. The only other spot is with the application.

Curious Artila Kor Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 And in each folder the file is named temp and is 4 bytes. Those are in the installation folder... Am i missing something? I know that there is a folder called Data with Save in it but the save games ain't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Skippy the bush kangaroo Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Have you saved games within the game that work properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Kor Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Yes. My save file is named Nash. I tried running a search for it ... no resuslt. Hmm well the only other thing i could think of is hidden file... But thats not that, so ... Are YOUR save file effectively in the Data folder in the save01-save19 folder?

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 The name you save under in game doesn't show up in the file name of the save game. All saved games are named sav0 to sav19 with sav19 being autosave and sav18 being quick save. The first in game save slot correspond to sav0 and so forth. So look at the save file that corresponds to the position that you saved under. If you have only one saved game then the others will be the installation created temp files.

Curious Artila Kor Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 I've deleted all sav folder on both my computer. I even did a search to check if it was saved elsewhere. I still can load my saved game... All my sav folder all had the temp file in it. Is there a other way the game save the progress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Mivayan Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Do you have windows vista? Vista thinks savegames in the installation directory are unsanitary, so it smoothly puts the files somewhere else. I dunno where. Haven't tried vista myself. Doesn't apply if you used a different install directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Kor Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Windows XP. Default installation folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora trianta99 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have the same problem with Vista, I can't find my save files. Can't anyone from Spiderweb software help us???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Redstart Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Well, I installed A4 just to check the mysterious save game problem. I'm a Vista x64 user, and installed the game in the default folder. After starting the game, I saved the game in the first available slot, and quit. After some searching, the saved game was found in "c:\program files (x86)\avernum 4\data\save0\", so the obvious folder. Since your folders were empty, the only guess I have is that you've installed the game twice. Are you running the game from the start menu, and if so, have you verified that it is in fact running the game from the directory that has the empty save folders? Like I said, everything worked fine with me, so if the above doesn't help, then I'm all out of ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora toelva Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I tried it on a win xp (prof.) machine. It works as it should. Saved games are in INSTALLATIONPATH/data/sav0 to sav19. Maybe you should check where the softlink for Avernum4 is pointing to. p.s.: Even uninstalling keeps the used sav-folders and preferences.

Fledgling Fyora trianta99 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Ok I solve the mystery of the lost save games files!!!!! My system is Vista 32bit. The saved game files for an unkown reason is at: C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Avernum 4\Data The folder "AppData" is hidden.
