Back up files for LEGO Batman The Videogame

[The Forgotten Warrior]

I've been trying for the past few months, and it never seems to work correctly. I back up my files, and transfer them to my new computer. I restore game files on my new computer and open the game afterwards. It doesn't restore my game 1 save file which is like 95%. It moves my game 2 save file to the game 1 slot and it makes me mad. I've tried rearranging the files but nothing seems to work. I run Windows 10 by the way, if that means anything

I had no problem getting my old save file when I built my new system last year (also using Windows 10), but I can't remember if I copied it manually, or if Steam did it (Does LEGO Batman use the Steam cloud?). The save file is in:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO Batman\Saved Games

I assume that your save file is in the same place (or something similar).

I only have 1 save file (I never started any others). I don't know if having more than 1 can cause any problems (like the game gets confused about which one is which).

The save file numbering seems to start at 0, since the first part of my save file name is "SaveGame0". I assume that you've got 0 and 1?

If you've got 0 and 1 save files in the location that I mentioned above, and the game is replacing the 0 file with the 1 file, I don't know why it would do that. I guess if the game thought that the 0 file was corrupt, it could be deleting it and replacing it with the 1 file.

While backing it up form Steam, it never mentioned a "SaveGame0". It starts at 1 and goes to 7 for some odd reason. I'll definitely try through the Users route. Thank you. I'll let you know how it goes

I would like to thank you for the assistance. My saved game got transferred perfectly to my new laptop. My deepest gratitude to your kindness and support

Glad to hear it, and you're welcome.

Just out of curiosity, how were you backing up the files before? I wasn't aware that Steam had any kind of "save file backup" function. I know that you can create a backup of a game (which I wouldn't expect to include save files located outside of the game files, but it certainly could), and then there's the Steam cloud (and I don't know if this game uses that).

FWIW, I started making my own backups of the LEGO Batman save files when I first played the game, back in 2014, so I just continued doing that and never looked for another option.

Yeah I used Steam's Backup files function in the top left when you click the "Steam" tab and yeah. Didn't work out too well

OK. I was just wondering if Steam had some kind of separate function to backup the save files for a game. Different games put them in different places, so it would certainly be useful. I just dig around until I find them, and make my own backups.
