Matrix Games Forums

The location Haree78 gave is where my saves are on Vista.  So if your username is the same as your forum name look in
 
C:\Users\Wild_Bill\AppData\Roaming\Code Force Limited\Distant Worlds\1.7.0.16\SavedGames 
 
to find your saves for 1.7.0.16.  If you navigate back up to the Distant Worlds folder you should find it contains a folder for 1.7.0.x (x being the version number) which has the saves of the game you were first playing.
 
Another more generic way of finding them is to make a save with an uncommon name which you take note of.  Then do a Windows search for that filename.  Depending on where the save is you may have to search for hidden files.
 
Once I locate the first save of a game I play I make a shortcut to the containing folder so that I never have to search again.  [:)]

YES!!! I tried cut-and-paste with no results. I tried manual searches with no results, but when I typed in what you posted there it was! Saved games successfully transported to 1.7.0.16. Thank you for the help.

hehe, glad to hear you found them [:D]

srsly,what changes that 16 beta don't have ?or its 16 beta,but just now as full patch ?

That would be my guess. If there were additional changes, the version would've been incremented.

Can now build both mining stations and resort bases at same location if
scenery at location.

I cannot build a resort base and a research station at the same location with scenery. Should this not work the same?

Also I still get the trade sanctions against and lifted repetition...same with luxury resources given and taken away...wars seem to come and go as quickly...

Great patch!

I timed it and it seems to have a three month delay which is nowhere near time enough to stop the spamming feeling.

So guys, how's the sale panning out - seems like the forum has had an increase in new recruits? [:)]

Really good patch! I ve played 700 stars and Picard Era-Mod and no crashes after many hours big compliment to the development team!

Forum activity increased about 20x after the sale kick-off. It seems the decision was very timely.

Just curious, since there are still a couple of bugs in .16, will this patch get updated in any way soonish? I mean: no new features, merely bugfixes.

Hmm. So, the sale is over, but there appears to be a new promotion for Distant Worlds. The Matrix Games store shows the download versions of the game as follows:

* Distant Worlds 13% off at $34.99 USD
* Distant Worlds: Return Of The Shakturi 20% off at $19.99 USD
* Distant Worlds: Legends 20% off at $19.99 USD

Total $79.97 USD.

Is this the new permanent price? If not, what's the promotion? When does it end? Just curious.

I seriously enjoy the changes and fixes which have been made but I have to say that there is many more people out there who would buy this game if it was an experience you can share with friends by playing in the same game. All thats needed is a 4 maybe 8 players multiplayer option with save feature and its sure to be bought a few more times.

I just realized I never patched this. I'm running 1.7.0.0. Will this patch break save games?

Probably.

On a new version, the game creates a new save folder. You can always copy your old save across and see what happens.

You can load a saved game a it will play, but only some of the changes will take effect. You will need to start a new game for all new features and fixes to take effect.

Thanks guys. I'm good to go.

Actually, not good to go. I had been playing the Picard Era Mod when, mid-game, I patched up to this. Now the images of the Star Trek characters are gone. Is this fixable? If so how?

Install the Star Trek mod again?
