Steamworks Save Game Locations? [SOLVED]
So the Steamworks update is here, RIPiss GFWL, but there's some odd stuff going on with my save files.

I wasn't able to transfer my achievements and save files according to the FROM post instructions, as GFWL wouldn't connect for me. But checking the game right now, I have one save file, but it seems kind of.. strange. It's my character, alright, but way earlier in the game, with gear I don't remember using and stuff.

I still have my old save files lying around, so basically I'm just wondering if anyone knows where the game reads the save files post-steamworks patch?


EDIT:

Alright, so I figured out the problem, and it's really simple.
The save games are still located in the same folders (Documents\NBGI\DarkSouls\),
the difference is that they're no longer structured based on your GFWL accounts. I had a folder called Shilag with my GFWL saves, but Steam now only reads the DRAKS0005.sl2 file located directly in the DarkSouls directory.

tl;dr If you have save game issues, move your files from "Documents\NBGI\DarkSouls\[GFWLUsername]\" to "Documents\NBGI\DarkSouls\". Problem solved.
