Transfering saves from WildTangent Fate to Steam Fate.

[Alexzoin]

So, before everyone yells "No duplicate posts!" at me, I have read nearly all of the other discussions about this issue. None have helped.

I downloaded Fate from WildTangent a long time ago. Recently they updated their drm and I was no longer able to play that version. (Goodbye $20) I finally broke down and got the Steam version because I knew that there was a way to transfer saves. So, upon downloading I navagated to this C:\ProgramData\WildTangent\fate\Persistent\SAVE folder and copied the en-US folder to this C:\ProgramData\WildTangent\FateSteam\Persistent\SAVE folder. Upon booting the game after this I realized there were no saves. So I went back to this C:\ProgramData\WildTangent\FateSteam\Persistent\SAVE folder and it was empty.

If I create a character in the Steam version it will appear in the folder. If I delete it from the folder and reload the game it will come back.

I would really like to play on the save I've had for like five years and paid 26 dollars for. So, if anyone can help, I would be apreciative!

Bump- i need to do this to, but steam to wildtangent. I bought the wildtangent one (cursed king) and got undiscovered realms. I wanna port one from another.

I hope Steam adds The Cursed King so I can play through the whole series :3
Anyways, nice emoticons you got there.

Alexzoin,
What a pain but I found an answer for you I think. My save though is from an earlier version and still won't work BUT I figured out the file issue. There is a steam folder it is caching from. The folder might be different numbers but this is mine:
Steam\userdata\46769184\246840\remote\SAVE\en-US
Once you have a new game search for the .ffd file under all of userdata and you should be able to find it. Replace the 0.FFD file here and then launch the game. You also might have to disable steam cloud when you do this. You should see your old save copy into the fate folder and hopefully you'll be working again.

Another update on this.I tried all different ways of getting this to work but what I found is that even though I got the file issue sorted out it won't work. The save files are NOT compatible from the wildtangent game to the steam versions.

From my email to them:

I tried a few more things but no success:

WildTangent Versions: I installed Fate UR Free version and regular Fate free version from your game client. I found that my old save works fine on the 1.23b Fate WT version and can work in in the 1.0.0.422 FateUR WT version. Importing between also works.

Steam versions: I tried moving the new FateUR save from your WT install over to steam version. Doesn't work and hangs the game on loading. I tried putting that WT save game in Fate steam. Still hangs. Tried to do an import from fate steam folder to fateUR steam with your WT version save. Also hangs it.

Importing within the Steam versions works. 1.39b Fate Steam version can import into 1.12 FateUR Steam version.

So, there seems to be a game incompatibility for saved games to cross over between wildtangent games versions and steam versions. They are obviously different versions and something must have changed in the way the save files are structured that causes the game to hang.

Can this be forwarded on to the developers?

There answer was NO. So it looks like we are SoL if we want to use old saved games on the Steam versions. You'll have too use WT or start over.

Oh well; thanks for trying so hard anyways!

I wonder if there is any way we could contact the devs. I'm sure it's not a huge difference between the file types. I mean when I transfered my Skyrim save from PS3 to PC it was easy enough. I can't see it being any harder than that.
