SummerEve Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi! I was wondering if I could bring my saved game of Avernum 6 back home instead of just playing it at my boyfriend's house (which is where I started playing the demo, and got pretty far into it.)? I don't want to have to start all over. I tried copying the saved files but I don't think it's letting me play it with the saved files. Thanks for any info!

Dikiyoba Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 As long as you're switching between computers with the same oper, you can move save files. Unfortunately, you can't move save files between Mac and Windows. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matanbuchus Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 As long as both machines have the same OS, simply copying/moving the save file should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SummerEve Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi guys! Thanks for the replies. Uhm, I copied the save files and even the game itself but it just starts out as a new game with no saved entries and even a different registration code. Any advice on how to fix that?

Dikiyoba Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 The saved games and registration code are saved elsewhere. On Windows, it's in the Documents folder. On Mac, Dikiyoba isn't sure, but it's probably somewhere similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakefyre Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Install Avernum 6 on the second computer. Find out where this version's saved game folder is. Copy the individual save folders from the first computer (Save1, Save2, etc) and replace the corresponding saves in the second computer's Avernum 6 Saved Games folder. You should see the saved games appear in the second computer's Avernum 6. As for registration, just email Jeff for a new registration code rather than trying to copy over preference files. He's generally very good about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matanbuchus Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Doesn't copying the whole game folder work anymore? I remember doing so succesfully with some earlier games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember doing so succesfully with some earlier games. It's been a while since Spiderweb games saved in the game folder. Now they go in Documents. The preference file has always been somewhere else for Mac, but I can't speak for Windows. —Alorael, who thinks the easiest way if you can't figure all this out is to just contact Spiderweb. They're very good about helping out with these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erebus the Black Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I miss having an unlimited amount of saves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A less presumptuous name. Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Originally Posted By: Erasmus I miss having an unlimited amount of saves You can still have unlimited saves, it just takes more work. You have to copy a save file to another location and replace it with an empty one. You can only access a certain number at a time, but you can have as many as you want in a different location.
