Hi, i have just install Medieval 2 total war on my computer that have Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits. I look around to find where the game put my save game but i didn't find anything. On Windows XP that game put the save game on the folder that the game is install in. I really wanna make a backup of my save game so if anyone of you can help me it would be nice!!

Thanks and have a nice day!!

Did you check your My Documents folder?

I know NeverWinter Nights automatically saves games there.

It will probably say somewhere in the manual or readme. "My documents" is the most likely location.

Failing that, save a game and then close the program. Do a search in Windows for recently created or modified files. Voila.

You should have a folder with your name on it which contains your documents and such. Inside that folder is another for your games. Look there.
