Moving Saved Game

[Eldrane]

Hi, Just bought EE and wondering if it's possible to transfer a saved game from my gog purchased non EE to my Steam purchased EE and if so...how... Kind of need a step by step hand hold on this as i'm not very IT literate.. Thanks.

Hello! The folder with saves should be the same. Documents - Planescape Torment - Enhanced Edition - save

Thanks, tried that but EE game doesn't recognise the save game from the non EE version when i select load game unless I'm missing something.

Ah, I missed the part it was not the non-EE save. Then no, the save is not compatible. However, you can workaround that: https://steamcommunity.com/app/228280/discussions/0/828937545776580852/

So clicked on that link which referes to BG so guess it's the same for PST
What is a hex editor and where do I get one :-)

1. locate original saves (in game directory)
2. locate save folder for EE (on my system (XP SP2) it was: "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition\")
3. copy saves to appropriate sub-directory (e.g. "mpsave" for multiplayer)
4. edit Baldur.gam for each save with hex-editor and change GAMEV1.1 to GAMEV2.0 (it's at 0 offset)

Sorry for the "bump"
I have similar issue with wanting to port saved-game from the original DVD-based game ( manually patched to 1.1 )

In this case,. the saved games are located ( horribly bad for security) under the PT installation folder fore example:
%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Black Isle\Torment\save

The format is then different as the files are "TORMENT" not "BALDUR" - presumably renaming these should be sufficient to then proceed with the rest of the above?

EDIT
Renaming to BALDUR.* did not work. Trying to access the "Load Game" list of saves results in a crash-to-desktop
