Accessing Your Save Files

[Litvac]

If any of you are looking for your save files so you can back them up in case you’re having technical difficulties, you can find them here:

Steam -
WIN: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\USER_ID\ 637090\remote\C#\SGS#'

OSX: ‘/Users/"USER_ID"/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/"ACCOUNT_ID"/637090/remote/C#/SGS#’


GOG -
WIN: ‘C:/Users/USER_ID/AppData/Local/GOG.com/Galaxy/Applications/50593543263669699/Storage/Shared/Files/C#/SGS#’

MAC: ‘~\Library\Application Support/GOG.com/Galaxy/Applications/50593543263669699/Storage/Shared/Files/C#/SGS#’

Thank you for posting this.

I'm encountering an issue just now with my save file. It's been loading for the past five minutes... and I'm not on a bad system.

No problem! Glad I could help. Sorry to hear about your save file problem, though. :( You should check our support FAQ (which is pinned) and our bug forum if you haven’t yet.

Thanks!

Since you're here already I'd like to ask a question. I haven't taken a look at them but I know that most other games published by Paradox use hex so I assume you're doing the same, right? I know there's a lot of long-time dedicated Battletech roleplayers that would be fond of having specific start files. It should be easy to edit them if it is in hex.

Because they are not the Developers for this game while most of the other games are Paradox Developers.

I ended up loading a different save that was done at the same time, give or take a few seconds. I think the autosave was corrupted because the game crashed when I made it. The manual save a moment prior worked fine.

I can no longer load my save file after doing the moon mission to get the argo flying again, the save file was working fine before but now it won't load at all.

Yeah, same. I quit the game and now it won't let me load or continue my campaign, only start again. This game is so buggy it's not funny.

Have you tried the beta patch that was just released?

[Entropiated]

The same thing is also happening to me. I was playing fine up to the Smithon mission, and now the damn game won't even load. My save games are apparently gone (but I have the folder copied on my desktop), and when I try to start a new game it just spins and spins with the music playing in the background.

Our current beta patch tries out a fix for the save file problem. It might help to give that a shot! https://steamcommunity.com/app/637090/discussions/0/1696045708649342173/

This is how I fixed my issue with this game on Steam. I uninstalled the game via the control panel in windows. I made sure it was uninstalled on Steam as well. Then I went in and deleted the BATTLETECH folder that was leftover at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH.

Then I reinstalled Battletech and it worked. I have run it twice now and loaded my last save. All is well. Ad Victorium!

Update: After the fix I've played for 2 hours, did a bunch of missions, and it's still fine. Hope this helps someone else.

[Sparka]

Please patch the game again, this time add buttons beside the save files that i can turn on/off so i can delete multiple save files at once. It takes forever to load the save file list.

save gone, wont load new game.

I'm using steam, but I can't fiond the save files here:

Steam -
WIN: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\USER_ID\ 637090\remote\C#\SGS#'


on the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata -> there is no Userdate folder.?
