Unknown save games location!!

[doombusterfx]

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!!

Just do a search on your c drive. the save files aren't always saved in the same directory where the games is at.

You just installed the game, did you actually SAVE a game yet?

edit you did say you were looking for a save file, so disregard

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.

C:\Documents and Settings\[YOU]\Application Data

Bioshock saves are there and some other games

For rome total war (could be the same as medieval 2?) the savegame folder is located in [INSERT LETTER OF HARD DRIVE ON WHICH I INSTALLED THE GAME HERE]:\Program Files\Rome TotalWar\saves

i have the same problem he has, it was easy to find on XP, but now on vista it is NOWHERE to be found. Everything everyone already said i tried and ...nothing... It's not in my documents either(and yest I have like 3 saved games)

Not sure about vista, but on XP a lot of my games like Football Manager the saved file is in my documents folder.

Whatever you saved the file as, search for it.
I have Medieval 2 but have not played it in ages, will look on my comp when I can.

Have a look in C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\saves, you'll likely find it there.

Have you actually done a search for "Medieval II Total War" ? Or just "Total War".
Sorry to come out as unsympathetic but i really cant see the point of signing upto a forum and posting a question like this when the search function is so easy to use.

If you did, and nothing showed....then your games are not saving for whatever reason In which case i would uninstall . reinstall.

Vista 64bit stores those files

C:/ users/ your name/ App Data / Local/ Virtual Store/ Programs Files (x86) /Sega/ Medieval II Total war/ saves

i had exact same problem, this worked perfectly.

Also the AppData was hidden on my laptop. Solution: top of folder, Tools, Folder Options, View, scroll down and tick the show hidden files circle.

Sorted

Only reason I'm reviving this thread is to call this guy I don't know who won't see this an idiot. Durr search plxs no work? k broke bye. Are you really bragging about being able to search? Sorry to come out as unsympathetic but I really can't see the point of answering a question with a post like that when the search function needs an expert like you to operate it.

Idiot...
