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! smile

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.

Not for the last few games, I think. The saved games for A6, and I think G5, are in the location Dikiyoba said.

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.

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.
