No actually what happened was the computer crashed just after I had saved and it turns out it corrupted the ini file. The save game was still there but the game couldn't see it. So I tried an experiment I didn't delete any games or change anything but I started a new game and copy the ini file from the new one to the old one. Bingo the old one worked. The only thing that doesn't come up right on that old one is it did not show the end game vehicle achievements on the loading screen. Open ini file in Notepad and change those values. That left only one flaw the timestamp on the game for the hours played is inaccurate. No game was ever deleted like I said even the one that crashed I fixed it. I played that game to the end and then I started playing the one that I copied the ini file from after I beat the game in save number 27 ;-).

0000 has nothing in it. Like I said no screenshots no nothing and in 31 playthroughs I went back through my saved files and checked there is only one game which I did finish :-) that had no screenshots. That's highly unusual LOL.

You assume that my attempt failed and that nobody knows what the hell they're talking about other than maybe you. Like I said before the game that was corrupted was still there. The game just couldn't see it. By the way game number 0 0 0 1? That's the one with the picture of the base I built in my very first game because as a new player I did what a lot of people thought would be cute and built a base on the floating island LOL. It was fun but stupid

First of all, Steam allows you to edit your posts so I don't know why you posted secessively like that. The Edit button is in the top right corner of all of your posts and it is there for a reason.

Second, I think you are taking this a bit too personally. I never implied you had corrupted your save. I only asked how you fixed it. The only thing being contested here is where that empty saved game folder came from and I think you are not being entirely truthful about whether or not you deleted any of your saved games. The issue with your endgame vehicle achievements checks out; that most likely has to do with the new .ini file.

And third, your slot0000 game was most likely that new game you made in order to transfer the .ini file over to your old save after your old .ini file got corrupted. Which was a good idea, but negate the probability that you still created it somehow. Subnautica does not create empty saved game folders on its own. Especially saved games that have the 0000 timestamp on it. If anything, it was a deleted saved game you'd just forgotten about regardless of what it had to do with your corrupted .ini file.

No, it doesn't. At least not for me. In this folder there are only 5 games.
My subnautica savegames are in I:\Steam\steamapps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData

Your OS isn't Windows, then. That should have been your first clue as I don't believe I said Subnautica couldn't run on any other OS.

For commenting on how I post you don't seem to be able to read much. If you look above I stated that I finished the broken game after I patched it and then I played the next game that I used to make the patch with. 0000 has nothing in it and it was never used

[scorpion22374]

You think I'm not being entirely truthful then why are we having this conversation or is it a conversation? At the point when somebody blatantly calls me a liar I end the conversation with them. Because I'm probably one of the most honest people you'll ever meet in your life in game and in real life LOL so have a nice day cupcake

Huh?
I'm on Win 7. Never had another one than Windows.

I am not even talking about your broken game. I am saying you somehow created that empty slot0000 folder and now seem to have forgotten how you did it. Get with the program, please.

We are having this conversation because you said you didn't create the empty slot0000 folder because you can't figure out how it got there and I am saying you're wrong. You created it somehow. It is as simple as that.

AFAIK the only root directory for Windows OS is "C:\". If there are others then I wouldn't know about them. I have used Windows 7 before, though, and it does use the "C:\" root directory.

[scorpion22374]

It's been awhile and I could be wrong but I doubt it since I was a beta tester for Windows 7 but Windows 7 allows you to modify the program installation past. A lot of people running ssds have the OS and only the OS on the C drive all the other programs are usually installed on a actual hard disk. But I wouldn't know anything about that and I'm probably twisting the truth a little bit ;-). And this is not me taking things personal this is me responding in kind;-). I'm old enough and have been around computers long enough to remember a day when your installation involve typing in command prompts and the installations actually came on a five and a quarter inch floppy disk. God I actually remember when the Windows 3.1 graphical user interface came out LOL.

And what does the root directory has to do with the path I gave steam to install Subnautica?
Right, nothing.
I install all games on another hard drive than C. Because I have not unlimited space there.

The root directory has everything to do with it because it is at the root of the default pathway and where Steam will put the game folder until you change it yourself. If you want to do that then that is fine but what I said here:

Αναρτήθηκε αρχικά από Salinité:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData\

Your save game files will be labelled "slot" followed by 0000, 0001, 0002, etc. You will want to know which of these is your current saved game folder because most likely there will be several of these slot folders and the one with the lowest number is not necessarily your current saved game.

...is where people will find their saved games if they don't already know and hence what the OP needs to know. Maybe you should actually look at the OP and try to understand what is being asked here rather than taking my post out of context.

[Cougarific]

Salinite many people have multiple drives. They can't all be labeled "C:" because that would be pointless and confusing. This person is using a drive labeled "I:"

Does the drive come with the OS or are they put there? I am only talking about the default location. If the OP didn't know where their saved games were at the time of posting then the saved game folders will be in the default location. I am also not talking about sereyanne's hard drive. If I was then I wouldn't be talking about default pathways as he/she doesn't seem to want to use that.

EDIT: Why are we even still talking about this? I answered the OP's question at the top of page 1. Don't tell me this is another thread that will need to be locked due to someone else-s out-of-context nitpicking.

when you look for anything in your hard drives, don't look for it anymore, let Voidtools Everything do the job. Its indexing Terra bytes of data in the blink of an eye.
Meaning : open Everything, order the files by "Date Modified". Then go in Subnautica and Save the Game. Go back in Everything and there, on top of the huge list of all your files, you'll see the last files having been modified in your hard drives. That's the saved game.
Right Click on a file, "Open path" and there you are. Magic. Windows without this software (and it's free! ) isn't windows.

From there, you find the game folder, then SNAppData, then your saved game folder. The number that comes after "slot" is given depending on when you started that saved game. So, for instance, if you started your first game, it would have 0000 after "slot." Starting a second game will give you "slot0001" and so on. If, say, you delete "slot0000" but you keep "slot0001" then start a new game, that game will be called "slot0000" but otherwise the folders are arranged by which saved game was created the earliest. The earliest saved game will have the lower number and it will be higher up. There is no custom installation for Subnautica's saved games as far as I know.

Mine are in D:\steam\steamapps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData because I installed Steam on a different drive. They are not necessarily under C:\Program Files(x86).

Still out of context with the rest of this thread. You know you put your game files on a different disk drive because you put them there. Subnautica does not put its game files on external disk drives by default. By default, the game files will be in the C:\ directory. If someone does not know where the game files are, they will be in that directory unless they have no recollection at all of placing them elsewhere, and I find that hard to believe.

Read the OP and then try to imagine the OP putting their game files on an external disk drive if they had to ask where those game files are. It is absurd that people are still blindly nitpicking this issue.

EDIT: Added two words.

[dreamrider]

If the computer was built by another person, or by a boutique manufacturer (really, any maker other than the large volume companies), it could easily have been set up for all default saves to be to a drive other than C:

Many private and custom PC builders customize the OS install to put nothing in C: except the OS and essential OS swap spaces.

It used to be extremely common in the early days of SSDs.

[Zemecon]

If the OP made their PC or got it from a small-scale company then I think they would've said something about it. Why is this thread still being necro'ed?

It is inaccurate. You can have a Steam Folder on every drive, Steam then asks on installation where to put the game. So the savegames are found where greyjackal wrote.
You are wrong, he is right. Simple as that.

Because when several people did correct you, you were stilly denying that you were wrong.
