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.

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 :D In which case i would uninstall . reinstall.

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
