Finding out what version of patch a save game is running against...


Recommended Posts

...without starting the game. Is there any way to do this easily?

My old laptop has gone belly up. The HD is fully functional, so all my saves going back through all versions from FM08 back to CM01/02 are safe.

To maintain integrity of these saves, I probably need to make sure I'm running them against the right patch for each game. Is there a way of interrogating the save game file to find this out? Alternatively, is there a way of checksum-ing the executable for the installed versions of each game to see which level they are patched to? Maybe there's an obvious other method I've overlooked.

Could you save 3 (or however many patches there have been) versions of each save seperatly as backup Then try with each one? If it doesn't work you still have the backups and you can work it out like that. May take ages as it's completely trial and error, but might help?
