A Note on Saved Games
Posted: Thu Feb 22, 2007 4:07 pm
Just so you know:
A hidden feature of the game is to keep backup copies of your save game files, for the worst case scenario that you overwrite a savegame spot that you still needed.
In Windows Explorer, go into your Player directory. You'll see SaveGames (with subfolders 1-7, corresponding to the seven save game spots), and also Backup, again with subfolders. Each time you overwrite a savegame, the game copies the old savegame into the corresponding backup folder. (i.e. they contain the previous savegame position of each spot). If you ever need to get an old one back, you can simply copy&paste that entire directory from backup to the savegame folder.
Note:
1 - make a backup of your entire player directory before you do that - just in case you copy something incorrectly
2 - this should obviously only be used as a last resort - i.e. most users will never have to use this function. But it is there for you, just in case.
Cheers,
Patrick
