Save files

Post by agm »

Bought a new laptop. Game installed with no problem. Copied the SAVE file from the old computer to the new one as I'm in the middle of a game. But, when I click on the date in the SAVE file on the new computer, it tells me Saved Game Failed to Load. What should I do? The game runs fine if I start a new scenario, but I want to keep playing the one in progress.

Probably corrupted save file, since I have not had that issue in other cases than when save file got corrupted in transfer.

Check that the game version is same between the two machines. Some versions changed the save contents so that they are not backward compatible.
