[SOLVED] How to Move Save Files between Computers?

[Philosophrog]

I am trying to copy a saved [edit: WRSR] game from one computer to another. I have copied the save dir for the game, found in .../media_save/save/, along with the dir's contents. But the destination computer does not recognize the existence of the copied game; "Load Game" does not list it at all.

Anyone know how to copy saved game files to a computer and get the game working there? Thanks.

Couple options...save a zip in game, move the zip to the folder...or zip the save and move it to the save folder and the (very important) move the content of the zip, not the unzipped folder, to the same location.

It works! Specifically, saving as a zip on the source computer and copying the zip save file to the destination computer. Brilliant! Thank you Very Much.

A little more detail for anyone who passes this way. The game creates a file "header.bin" when it uses a zipped save; apparently the one header.bin file stores info on all zipped saves. Game gets unhappy if a save.zip file OR the header.bin file are deleted outside the game using file system tools.

One can load the zipped save file in-game, save again as an ordinary non-zipped save, then delete the zipped save in-game. When all save.zip files have been deleted in-game, the header.bin file remains. But it can be deleted using File Explorer at this point without the game complaining.
