location of save file

[SuperSonic2099]

question being if anyone knows where spellcrafter places the save file of the game I looked in my steam folder appdata and my games and it was'nt in any of them and I even asked o the games forum a few days ago but no one seems to answer my question and in these forums people just tell me to ask the games forum so that is not much help also know it doesn't support steam cloud

What are you texting from a Nokia? :) :)

I do not know how to use, I just ran across it 4 times while doing a forum search for the -homedir launch option as a possible solution for this (now mildly annoying :)) issue. It came very well recommended.

A thought occurs to me. You could use Steam's backup and restore feature to copy the entire game, thus hopefully copying the save files with it, to your new computer.

well game save manager doesn't even open for me it just keeps saying please wait the officially supported database is currently beign updated please wait so I guess I just wait till the developer on the forums notices my message

no and again none of these helped at all and the game should save the save files in the same folder as it installs or in my games so that is a bad chocice to hide the saves very bad

Have you tried using Steam backup and restore?

[SuperSonic2099]

//edit// Teutep ninja'd me by a mile.

Open the Steam client. Click Steam > Backup and Restore Games. In the new window, choose "Backup currently installed programs" and click "Next". Find "Spellcrafter" in the list of games, put a check in the box and click "Next". Choose a folder to store the backup. Click "Next". Once the backup completes, copy the folder to a USB flash drive or an optical disc.

Now put the disc/flash drive in your new computer and copy the folder over, doesn't matter where, but make it somewhere you can find it later. Steam folder or desktop would be a good choice. Open the Steam client. Click Steam > Backup and Restore Games. In the new window, choose "Restore a previous backup" and click "Next". Using the "Browse" button, find where you copied the backup earlier and select it. Click "Next". Let Steam do its work. Launch the game.

Run the game on the new PC and see if you can continue.
